Reliable Bridge Mats Built for Strength and Stability

At Birketts, we supply high-performance bridge mats designed to support vehicles and machinery over soft ground, water crossings and unstable surfaces. Whether you’re building a temporary access route or creating a safe crossing point for heavy duty equipment, our mats are engineered for strength, stability and longevity.

Our bridge mats are constructed using dense hardwood timber, making them ideal for spanning short distances while bearing heavy loads. These mats are a preferred choice for contractors who need fast, safe access over ditches, culverts, marshy areas or weak terrain.


With a wide range in stock and next day delivery available across the UK, you can rely on Birketts to supply the right solution for your site without delay.

Our clients use Birketts’ bridge mats to:

  • Create temporary access routes across ditches, streams or trenches
  • Form safe passage for vehicles carrying equipment and materials

When installed correctly, our bridge mats help lower long-term site restoration costs by minimising damage caused to the existing surface.

Bridge Mats for Temporary Crossings and Outdoor Access

From large infrastructure developments to outdoor events and landowner access, bridge mats can support pedestrian and vehicular movement in hard-to-reach areas.

Temporary bridge systems are often essential where:

  • Water or drainage features need to be crossed
  • Access routes are blocked or unavailable
  • Ground conditions are too unstable for direct travel

 

Birketts supplies mats suitable for everything from footbridges to heavy duty haul roads. Combined with our range of access mats, they help create fully functional routes across challenging environments.
