Let’s Talk Facts: Swamp Vs Access Mats

If you’re located in Canada and searching for access mats, you might find yourself somewhat confused to see the term “swamp mats” used interchangeably to refer to them. This use of terminology is actually one of the largest sources of confusion in the industry and ultimately the facts are this: technically there is no such thing as a swamp mat, and it is just another term for standard-issue access mats. The use of terms tends to vary regionally, particularly down south where there are marsh and swamplands that require access solutions as opposed to the issues faced here in Northern Canada.

Note that while swamp mats may mean the same thing as access mats, they do NOT mean the same thing as rig or crane mats, and knowing the difference will help you get the best results for your job site. For heavy-duty solutions typically serviced by rig mats, TerraLam®’s 500 series mats are built to perform, and 300 level mats provide exceptional service for a wide variety of other applications.

TERRALAM® ACCESS MATS AT GFI

As a newer solution on the market, TerraLam® CLT mats are now widely and in demand and have become preferred over their bolted counterparts. Unlike traditional bolted mats, TerraLam® CLT mats are constructed by alternating perpendicular layers of wood and bonding them together with a special adhesive for unmatched strength and performance. This method of construction means that TerraLam® CLT mats are able to flex with each load to distribute weight evenly, resulting in increased strength and longevity. Additional benefits of TerraLam® CLT mats include:

  • High impact resistance and durability.
  • 3-5 times the lifespan of bolted mats.
  • Glue lamination and wax sealed on all 4 edges of the mat to make it less vulnerable to moisture and rot.
  • Able to withstand the Canadian climate, all year-round.
  • Solid matting top reduces tripping hazards, as well as the tired damage to vehicles.
  • Lower shipping costs due to the lightweight nature of the mats (up to 60% more load capacity), and more.
