Reinforced laminated support mat with resilient corner member

An array of reinforced support mats comprising:

• a plurality of reinforced support mats, each reinforced support mat having:
• a plurality of billets fastened together, each billet comprising a plurality of vertically oriented individual wood members adhesively bonded to each other, each of the individual wood members having wide faces oriented parallel to a direction of a load applied to the reinforced support mat, each billet having outboard wood members, the reinforced support mat having outboard billets, the outwardly facing wide faces of the outboard wood members of each billet defining a wide face of the billet, a wide face of each outboard billet defining a wide face of the reinforced support mat;
• a plurality of corrugated protective edge members positioned against each of the opposing wide faces of the reinforced support mat;
• a resilient belting corner member mounted to the opposing wide faces of the reinforced support mat adjacent the longitudinal ends of the plurality of corrugated protective edge members at the longitudinal ends of the reinforced support mat;
• wherein the resilient belting corner member comprises a body having a tear drop shaped cross-section defining an open space and an attachment flange;
• and
• wherein apertures are formed through each of a wall of the body and the attachment flange;
• a plurality of rigid fasteners extending through and connecting pairs of the corrugated protective edge members on opposite sides of the reinforced support mat, and inboard ends of pairs of the resilient edge members on opposite sides of the reinforced support mat, to the wide faces of the support mat;
• and
• a lag bolt attaching an outboard end of each resilient belting corner member to a wide face of the support mat;
• wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of reinforced support mats are positioned side by side such that the corrugations of the corrugated protective edge members are nested, and
• wherein the resilient belting corner members of longitudinally adjacent ones of the plurality of reinforced support mats are adjacent each other.
