There are two main reasons crane hire companies choose ALIMATS® – improved construction operations and overall financial benefits.
- ALIMATS® are lightweight enabling two operatives to offload, manoeuvre and re position the modules directly under a cranes outrigger by hand, saving time and money on heavy plant.
- And because the mats interlock, it allows the outrigger load to spread more evenly between the modules – significantly reducing the loadings and greatly improving structural performance.
- Some crane companies prefer to buy their own set of mats, and others opt for single day or long-term hire.
