What’s the Difference?
At GFI, we understand that diverse matting solutions may be necessary based on the characteristics of each project’s terrain. While we offer both new and used traditional douglas fir bolted access mats for rent and sale, our experience has shown that Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) access mats stand out as a superior option. Not only are CLT access mats lighter, but they also exhibit greater durability, surpassing the performance of traditional bolted access mats in direct comparisons.

Customers Love Our Mats…
“GFI’s SiteSafe™ CLT Access Mats are by far the most durable mats we have ever used. We have used bolted mats in the past and had to pay outrageous charges for damages and replacement costs. Your mats held up so well on our integrity dig that we were not charged for any damages or replacement cost. On top of that, the crew was very knowledgeable and provided outstanding service. I would highly recommend GFI Solutions and look forward to working with them again”

“We rented 1022 SiteSafe™ CLT Access Mats from GFI Solutions for our drilling and completions program. The program ran for 5 months. At the end of the program we were so impressed with the quality of the mats we decided to purchase 400 of the mats for our fleet.”
