Digger mats

[Russell]

Do these look any good for a micro and dumper?

They are stable Matt's very soft and flexible look at the photos of them on the trailer
Proper ground protection Matt's are alot harder

No use whatsoever mate. Bloke is mis-describing them to get rid of by the looks of it. Handy for lying on but that's about it, they'd fold straight into the ruts on wet grass.

If you want a cheap alternative to track Matt's stock board works well but is about 3 times the weight of a proper track Matt and if they need to be bolted together require a bit of fabrication

Ok thanks

For that price it would be worth it. You could always double them up.

look like plastic foam rubber type material ..... this trailer'd be on its knees if they were solid .......

I have something similar but 25mm and 2m x 1.2m ..... great for lying on

These might be of interest to someone on here

Second hand but cheaper than new

Thanks for the heads up Smiffy, They are really close to me, Ill see how many he's got. Ive been using ply sheets for years, tend to gain some everytime the hoarding comes down on a job but these plastic matts are the proper thing and a bit nicer to use if I can get them for the right price.

they're very nice and well under half price IIRC

rule no1 ... never bid a fair asking price with a piss take bid ..... you'll get told to **** off ......... and probably lose 'em

Personally when people now message me asking for my best price I add £500 on and return the message. You can advertise £10 notes for £5 and people will still ask for more off i lost my patience with it. As well as people saying can i nip up on sat or sunday when you tell them your closed. We open 7-4 5 days a week I know i may lose a little buisness but i need to have a home life too.

Fair play to you

it's true though Ross .... if it's a good price, just buy it ..... as you say, folk just get pissed off .. and you'll often get told to sod off ... justifiably
