Tired of spending countless dollars and constantly having to stretch your budget to accommodate failing access mats that just can’t keep up from job to job? Wish there was a better way to ship to site quickly without burning a hole in your bottom line? Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats are your perfect solution. Designed to improve the performance and longevity of bolted mats, these revolutionary site access pathfinders have taken the industry by storm and set a new standard of excellence for heavy-duty results.

As an added bonus, CLT mats will last 3-5x longer than bolted mats, even when being used as a platform for rigs and cranes. Find out how in the next section.
What Makes CLT Mats Different
Wondering how a mat that’s so much lighter than the bolted mats you’re accustomed to could possibly outperform them by so much? The answer might be simpler than you think. The key to the performance and success of CLT mats comes down to both their design and method of manufacturing. Unlike bolted mats, which (as the name suggests) are made by bolting planks together, CLT mats are created through the process of bonding alternating perpendicular layers of wood with an environmentally The end result of the bonding process is a product that is flexible and able to evenly distribute weight through the whole surface of the mat. This flexibility helps to prevent sudden failures and allows mats to handle heavy loads with ease, job after job
In addition to their unique composition, CLT mats offer a wide variety of benefits, including:
- High impact resistance
- Suitable for use in extreme conditions (perfect for the Canadian climate)
- Cheaper to ship due to the lightweight nature of the mats, and more.
