How Our 13.1' x 6.5' Mats Handle the Toughest Loads
When you're operating on rugged terrain with oversized machinery, not just any mat will do. You need a solution that delivers unmatched durability, weight capacity, and ground protection—without compromise. That’s why Blue Gator Pro developed the 13.1' x 6.5' Heavy Duty Ground Protection Mat, a powerhouse mat designed to handle up to 730 tons. Built with industry-defining specs and reinforced connection systems, this mat isn’t just strong—it’s essential.
Built for Big Jobs: Why Size and Strength Matter
The massive 13.1' x 6.5' surface area means more coverage with fewer mats—reducing setup time, connection points, and potential failure zones. Ideal for projects involving cranes, excavators, and tracked equipment, these mats are designed for:
-
Pipeline construction
-
Transmission tower installation
-
Oil and gas drilling
-
Heavy civil and infrastructure development
-
Military-grade mobility
With fewer pieces to deploy and reposition, your crew can focus on performance—not patchwork.
Superior Material, Superior Performance
Each mat is engineered from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), infused with proprietary formulas to maximize impact resistance and longevity. HDPE is the ideal alternative to wood or composite mats because it:
-
Does not absorb moisture or chemicals
-
Won’t rot, splinter, or crack
-
Resists UV damage and extreme temperatures
-
Offers decontamination-friendly surfaces
Whether deployed in freezing tundra or sweltering heat, these mats maintain structural integrity and traction.
Tested Strength: Withstanding Up to 730 Tons
These mats are trusted to support multi-ton machinery without risk of rutting, shifting, or breakage. Their heavy-duty core measures 3.7 inches with a total overlap of 7.8 inches, offering maximum rigidity under pressure.
This makes them ideal for the most aggressive loads in unstable ground conditions—from swampy wetlands to gravel access roads.
Fast Four3™ Connector System for Unshakable Stability
Every mat features the Fast Four3™ pin system, ensuring rapid deployment and unmatched interlocking strength. Unlike traditional two-point systems, this multi-pin connector distributes stress more evenly, reducing the risk of edge lift or displacement under torque-heavy vehicles.
Benefits of the Fast Four3™ system:
-
Tool-free connection for quick setup
-
Zero mat separation during operation
-
Minimized trip hazards and equipment strain
Logistical Advantage: Fewer Mats, Greater ROI
Though larger in size and strength, our 13.1' x 6.5' mats are optimized for freight. With 54 mats per flatbed truck, you reduce transport costs while maximizing coverage. Fewer mats also mean lower labor and faster repositioning between tasks.
Compared to traditional 4x8 options, you get more than twice the area per mat, with a fraction of the setup effort.
Applications Across Industries
These heavy duty mats are being deployed by:
-
Construction and infrastructure companies
-
Utility contractors
-
Event flooring and staging teams
-
Disaster response units
-
Military logistics operations
Anywhere extreme weight and reliability are required, these mats provide the performance edge.
