About CLT Mats
GFI Solutions’ Site Safe CLT crane mats outperform traditional bolted mats. CLT crane mats are constructed from sustainably sourced Southern Yellow Pine and an eco-friendly adhesive. The environmentally friendly adhesive allows the crane mats to flex under heavy machinery and equipment pressure and better distribute that weight evenly across the entire mat. The result? An incredibly durable, lightweight, and long-lasting crane mat that can manage almost any challenge. Some additional benefits of CLT crane mats are as follows:
- Impact-resistant and durable
- Increased lifespan (about 3-5 times longer than traditional bolted mats)
- Wax-sealed and glue lamination on all four edges of the crane mat make it significantly less vulnerable to rot, moisture, and cross contamination
- Climate resistant
- Lightweight
- Lower shipping costs due to the reduced weight (about 60% more mats per load)
- And more!

Considering Switching to CLT Mats
While traditional bolted mats are the industry standard for access matting, other options outperform bolted mats. Site Safe Laminated Timber (CLT) mats are a great choice. These access mats are manufactured through a unique process that consists of bonding perpendicular planks of Southern Yellow Pine together with an environmentally friendly adhesive instead of bolts. This alternative manufacturing method allows CLT access mats to flex under the weight of significant loads and equipment. The glue used in CLT mats helps to evenly distribute the pressure of heavy loads better than bolted mats, so CLT mats are more durable and longer lasting. Site Safe CLT access mats from GFI Solutions can easily handle your project’s pressure while keeping your crew and machinery safe. With GFI Solutions’ turnkey services and our inventory of access solutions, we are sure our team can help you with access mat installation, mat washing, inventory management, and so much more!

How are Oilfield Mats Different from Access Mats?
Oilfield mats are a type of access mat or ground protection mat constructed to withstand heavy equipment used during oil rigging. These mats are a barrier between your equipment and crew and the ground below. For this reason, oilfield mats provide your project with numerous environmental, financial, and safety-related benefits. Oilfield mats give your workers and machinery a safe and clean environment to work in, which can lead to some significant financial savings. This is because, with oilfield mats, you reduce the risk of slip and fall injuries and your equipment getting stuck in challenging terrain. Oilfield mats also reduce your environmental impact by being a barrier between your crew and equipment. They help your project limit the number of ground disturbances and soil cross-contamination. Investing in oilfield mats for your next project is critical to keep your crew, equipment, and environment safe. No matter what industry you work in, GFI Solutions has the oilfield matting solutions you need to navigate your worksite safely. Our team is here to help you determine the optimal number of mats for your project and any other questions you may have!
CLT Mats are Your Best Option!
GFI Solutions’ Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats have gained some notoriety for being the preferred choice for numerous projects’ oilfield mats. Created through an innovative process, CLT mats are made from environmentally sustainable wood and eco-friendly adhesive. Using an adhesive rather than bolts, CLT mats weigh significantly less than traditional access mats and have greater flexibility. This flexibility allows CLT mats to bend under the pressure of heavy machinery without becoming damaged. In addition, CLT mats are incredibly durable and last about 3-5 times longer than traditional bolted mats. At GFI Solutions, we offer a variety of TerraLam CLT mats and bridges to rent or purchase.
