TerraLam® CLT Mats: The New Way Forward
If you’re tired of wasting vital funding on access matting solutions that are prone to breaking between projects, you’re not alone. While traditional bolted mats have been the standby for years, their heavy shipping costs and tendency to crack under pressure have left many looking for a better solution. In a bid to address these issues, TerraLam® Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) mats were designed to improve upon the groundwork left by bolted mats. With a profile that weighs up to 40% less than bolted mats and a lifecycle that’s 3-5 times longer, TerraLam® CLT mats offer superior performance and ROI, regardless of if you choose to rent or buy. As one of the most preferred brands on the market, Sterling’s line of TerraLam® mats offer exceptional value, and the 500 series is capable of tackling the toughest jobs typically reserved for rig and crane mats. Best of all, the lower weight of TerraLam® mats means you’ll be able to save significantly when shipping your mats to the site, with each load being capable of carrying up to 60% more than standard bolted mats.
Discover the Difference
CLT rig and access mats differ from bolted mats due to their unique composition and manufacturing process. Unlike bolted mats, TerraLam® CLT mats are created by bonding alternating perpendicular layers of wood with an environmentally safe adhesive. This composition allows the mats to flex under pressure and evenly distribute weight rather than putting stress on specific bolt points. This flexibility allows for superior durability and performance, even under heavy loads, project after project. The 500 series is a 5 ply CLT available in multiple sizes and is well equipped to handle heavy machinery, cranes, and the various demands as faced by those in the oil & gas industry. If you require even more strength we also offer the 700 series which is a 7 ply CLT.
