Replacing Timber Mats with System7XT™ mats for Heavy Crane Support in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Project Overview In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a project was undertaken to replace timber mats with composite mats to support a large crane used to unload 48” pipes from trucks. The crane, which weighs approximately 500 tons, had previously been resting on 12 x 12 wood mats (crane mats). The goal of this project was to improve support and functionality by replacing the existing timber mats with System7XT™ mats, providing better stability and support for the crane. Scope of the Job The project’s scope was multi-faceted and included: Preparation of the Area for Crane Support: The first step was to prepare the area where the crane would be positioned. The crane, which was unloading large 48” pipes from trucks, had previously relied on timber mats. The new setup involved placing the crane on System7XT™ mats, which were designed to handle the substantial weight and pressure from the 500-ton crane. Installation of System7XT™ Mats: Spartan’s Field Technician planned the layout of the composite mats. 60 of System7XT™ composite mats were placed in the necessary configuration to provide a stable foundation for the crane. These mats were specifically chosen for their superior durability and ability to support such heavy equipment, offering better performance and less environmental impact than traditional timber mats. Training and Guidance on Mat Handling: As part of the project, Spartan’s Field Technician provided training for the crew on how to properly handle and install the composite mats. The team was shown the best practices for maneuvering and flipping the mats. This hands-on training ensured that the mats were installed correctly and efficiently, avoiding potential delays and minimizing any safety risks during the installation process. Mat Installation Procedure: To ensure maximum stability, 4 x 4 wooden boards were placed between the System7XT™ mats and the crane mats. This helped distribute the crane’s weight evenly across the mats, providing enhanced support and preventing the mats from shifting under the crane’s load. Crane Movement onto the New Mats: The crane was slowly and cautiously moved from the original 12 x 12 crane mats to the new System7XT™ mats. The operator navigated the crane at a slow pace to ensure the crane’s weight was properly distributed on the composite mats. Once the crane was fully positioned on the System7XT™ mats, the operator turned the crane 90 degrees and moved it toward the dock area where the pipes would be stacked. Long-Term Use of Mats on Dock: The mats were planned to remain on the dock for six months, providing a solid and stable foundation as the crane continued unloading 48” pipes. Over this extended period, the composite mats would support the crane and withstand the weight and pressure of the repeated lifting and movement of the heavy pipes. By replacing timber crane mats with System7XT™ composite mats, the project team successfully provided a stable and reliable foundation for the 500-ton crane. The careful planning, proper mat installation, and training ensured the project was completed smoothly and safely.
