The portable, environmental solution to quad access.
Oil & Gas Application
• Major oil & gas company needed a solution for crossing environmentally sensitive spots
• Areas were frequented by well operators on an ongoing basis
• Multiple sites with multiple challenges
• The mats are light enough to be handled by two people.
• Heavy equipment is not required to set or install.
