Blue Gator Heavy Equipment Mat Lineup — Complete Specifications

Which Heavy Equipment Mat for Which Application

O.G. 4×8 — The Standard Specification

The O.G. 4×8 Heavy Duty Mat is the specification for 90%+ of heavy construction applications. 80-ton load rating covers the full range from backhoe loaders through loaded haul trucks and 50-ton mobile cranes. Available in black (good visibility against mud), natural/white (recommended for turf applications), and tan.

Lite 4×8 — Crew-Deployed Applications

The Tan Lite Mat trades the top 20 tons of load capacity for a 20 lb weight reduction. For sites where equipment access allows mats to be hand-deployed by two-person crew without a forklift, the Lite mat is the right choice. All landscaping, most event, and light-to-mid construction applications fit within its 60-ton rating.

Diamond Marine 4×8 — Dual-Surface Applications

The Diamond Marine Mat has diamond tread on one face and marine-smooth on the reverse. For applications combining heavy equipment access and pedestrian traffic on the same mat surface, or turf protection requiring a gentler mat underside, this is the specification. Same 80-ton rating as the O.G.

3×8 — Constrained Access

The 3×8 Heavy Duty Mat provides full 80-ton capacity in a 3-foot-wide format — for urban utility corridors, narrow passages between structures, or any application where the 4-foot width won't fit. Available in black.
