Whether your project has suddenly developed a need for access solutions or you’re planning ahead to avoid the challenges of Canada’s unforgiving climate and landscape, having the right mats on hand makes it easy to prevent costly downtime caused by resource transport or damaged equipment from getting stuck in the mud. Access mats serve as a temporary roadway and support system for your job site, and can be an invaluable investment for the long term. When looking for viable options to replace or replenish your assets, key aspects to consider include:
- Are you intending to rent or buy?
- Overall Cost, including replacement cost, Trucking costs and installation and removal costs.
Did you know: GFI offers delivery and installation Canada-Wide, as well as 24/7 support and service.
- How long will the mats last with the equipment that will be driving on the mats

Built To Flex, Not Crack, Under Pressure
With CLT mats growing in demand on the site access market, there’s little surprise that project managers are increasingly inquiring about TerraLam®’s line of matting solutions. Engineered to be up to 40% lighter than standard bolted mats, TerraLam mats utilize cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology to guarantee the strongest access mat on the market with unmatched strength and safety. Cross Laminated Timber mats are created by bonding alternating perpendicular layers of wood with a special adhesive to create the finished mat instead of relying on the traditional bolted structure. TerraLam CLT access mats allow for the even distribution of weight throughout the entire mat, making them significantly less prone to breakages and able to handle heavy loads.
The TerraLam® 300 Model
Significantly lighter than bolted mats, the 8’ x 14’ or 8’x16’ 300 mat can save up to 50% on freight costs, allowing you to transport 72 mats per truckload compared to only 35 bolted mats of the same size. Manufactured from southern yellow pine, each TerraLam® mat features bevelled edges for easy handling, and can be manufactured with or without 1” oak fingers. With a design intended to encourage faster installation, getting started is a breeze, giving you more time to focus on the task at hand.
