How Used Crane Mats are Graded
3 GRADES OF USED CRANE MATS
Before purchasing used hardwood crane mats, it’s important that you understand the differences between the grading classifications (Grades A, B and C). Otherwise, you may not receive the quality of crane mats that you intended to buy!
GRADE A USED CRANE MATS
Used Grade A Crane Mats are almost like new. Timbers and bolts are intact and there are minimal signs of wear. Typically have been used once.
GRADE B USED CRANE MATS
Used Grade B Crane Mats maintain their structural integrity, but they don’t look as good as Grade A. Grade B Crane Mats still have all timbers in tact, may have 1 bent or missing bolt and the end of the timbers may be worn.
GRADE C USED CRANE MATS
Used Grade C Crane Mats are significantly worn down. Grade C Crane Mats may have broken or missing timbers, in addition to bent, broken or missing bolts. These mats are typically used as filler for better mats.
