The busy part of construction season may be coming to a slower head with the weather getting ready to change for the winter, but as any Canadian will tell you, that doesn’t stop us from getting the job done. As terrain changes and the yearly freeze/thaw cycle begins to set in, the landscape begins to present a wide range of challenges to your operations. From mud to icy roadways, slush, and plenty of other hazards, finding a safe way to navigate your site becomes a necessity. Access mats are the perfect solution for overcoming terrain hazards and setting your operations up for success.

CLT Mats: Higher Performance, Lower Cost
If you haven’t made the switch from traditional bolted mats to the new industry leader of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), you’re missing out! As a relative newcomer on the market, CLT mats have come the new trusted standard on many job sites, and for good reason. The unique design of CLT mats has been crafted to improve upon the performance of bolted mats to the benefit of procurement and constructions managers across North America. CLT access mats are 40% lighter than bolted mats, offer a lifecycle that is 3-5 times longer, and are often crafted from wood that is 30% stronger than the standard Douglas fir used on bolted mats. The lighter weight profile of CLT mats can save you significant cash by allowing you to transfer up to 60% more worksite mats per load, and thanks to the enhanced flexibility of the mats that comes from the process of bonding planks together instead of opting them, you don’t have to worry about sudden breakages and failures.
