Why Fleet Operators Switch
UHMW-PE vs Timber and Steel
Most plant hire companies start with timber or steel. Most switch to polymer once they've replaced a set of timber mats.
The Problem with Timber
Timber Mats Cost More Over Time
Timber absorbs water and loses load-rated capacity the moment it starts to degrade. Splitting, cracking, and splintering on site creates a safety and liability issue. Most hire companies end up replacing a set of timber mats every 18–24 months.
- UHMW-PE will not split, crack, or absorb water
- No nails, bolts, or metal fixings to fail or corrode
- Consistent rated capacity across the service life
- Same performance in every weather condition
- No rot, no swelling, no maintenance cost
The Problem with Steel
Steel is Heavy, Marking, and Awkward
Steel spreader plates distribute load from the edges rather than across the full surface, and they mark tarmac, block paving, and concrete — which creates problems on customer sites. They're also heavy enough to require two people to handle safely.
- UHMW-PE distributes load across the full pad surface
- Will not mark tarmac, block paving, or flagstone
- Up to 80% lighter than equivalent steel plate
- One person can handle and position most sizes
- No rust, no sharp edges, no PPE required to handle
