The little things add up

It’s our superior design and workmanship throughout the manufacturing process that makes Alberta Rig Mats stand out, long after the initial purchase is made. Our welds are cleaner, and each component is engineered to fit with ARM precision. You’ll notice the difference in every detail of your rig mats by Alberta Rig Mats, and you’ll really appreciate the resulting benefits in durability, performance, and ease of implementation.

ARM Cross Members™

Schematic of Alberta Rig Mats patented Cross Member technology

For unparalleled strength in the industry, only Alberta Rig Mats can use our patented ARM Cross Members™ cross-member design, with two gussets, one per side of each cross-member. Alberta Rig Mats gusset plates are positioned where the cross members intersect with the rail, creating a square tubing connection for better strength and flexibility.

ARM Shackle System™

Each Alberta Rig Mats ARM Shackle System™ lifting shackle offers three load bearing surfaces and is engineered to hide inside the beam when not in use, out of the way and free from wear and snagging. Our technicians neatly drill the center hole for our shackle pins, rather than torch-cutting the ragged holes you’ll see on other rig mats.

Our rig mats 30 feet or longer are equipped with four 8-1/2 ton standard, hot dipped galvanized shackles. VanBeest or Crosby shackles are available upon custom request. Rig mats under 30 feet are built with four 6-ton pear rings.

ARM Loading Rolls™

Heavier gauge pipe means tougher loading rolls, and a more durable rig mat structure. At Alberta Rig Mats, we use 5-1/2 O.D. pipe with a .304″ wall and better for our loading rolls on the end of the mat, never the smaller pipe you’ll see on other rig mats. We use 3/8″ plate for our end caps, precision-sized for safety. Our double-pass welds are made with 7018 welding rod, the stick process, for superior penetration.

Options

Our standard rig mats come in 20', 30', and 40' lengths and are 8 feet wide. Standard camp mats are 4 feet wide. As a fully equipped rig mat manufacturer, Alberta Rig Mats will custom design and build rig mats of any size to suit your specifications and industrial requirements. Rig mat wood inserts can be treated with a spray on preservative or we can use pressure treated wood by request. We also offer custom painting, plating, grating, serial numbering, and can configure your mats to precisely suit your application's unique needs.

Precision-Sized Inserts for
Perfect Pack

At Alberta Rig Mats, We use a porta power hydraulic jack or a screw jack to ensure rock-solid engagement between our wooden inserts and the structural frame. We custom cut the last wood inserts for perfect fit and the tightest wood pack. The perpendicular placement of Alberta Rig Mats wooden inserts enables very simple repair in the event of damage to the wood. The wood deck of our rig mats is installed flush or slightly higher than the top of the steel frame, helping protect the rig mat frame from damage and prolonging the life of the product.

ARM Rig Mat Technology
Means Better Performance

Our rig mats give you temporary access and a good solid foundation. Rig mats by Alberta Rig Mats achieve their legendary durability, ease of installation, strength and flexibility through a combination of proprietary technologies, continually improved through years of real-world testing in some of industry's harshest environments as well as in the lab. Through our innovative ARM Cross Members™ design, superior materials and precision manufacturing, our rig mats are able to withstand a remarkable 38,000 lbs per square foot of pressure.

Interlocking Rig Mats

The purpose of interlocking rig mats is to unite a number of individual rig mats in creating a cohesive, integrated platform, distributing weight between multiple mats for a solid, even surface. Sustaining solid connections under the ongoing stresses of heavy equipment and punishing environmental conditions requires a superior rig mat.

Steel-framed interlocking rig mats from Alberta Rig Mats are designed, engineered and manufactured to lock together more securely and with ease of implementation.

Our ARM Unity™ interlocking design enables your crew to achieve a rock-solid connection, saving time and labour. And the mats stay locked until it’s time to move. The unique shape of our interlock join keeps it remarkably free of debris and mud buildup, for easier maintenance and reconfiguration.
