CLT Access Mats Outperform Traditional Bolted Mats
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) access mats are a step above traditional bolted mats for several reasons. While the industry standard has been traditional bolted mats, CLT mats have quickly grown in popularity due to their unique manufacturing and overall performance. CLT access mats are lighter-weight and improve upon conventional bolted mats’ many challenges. These mats are about 40% lighter than standard bolted mats and have a 3-5 times longer lifespan. These lightweight and long-lasting access mats mean you can save a significant amount on your return on investment. Some other benefits include the following:
- Approximately double the hauling capacity due to CLT mats being so lightweight
- CLT access mats are twice the strength of bolted mats
- Repels moisture and rot due to adhesive lamination and wax sealer on all edges of the access mat
- Able to withstand extreme temperatures, including rain and snow
- Manufactured without bolts reduces the risk of tripping and tire damage to equipment
- And More!
GFI Solution’s CLT access mats are high-quality and provide our Edmonton customers with outstanding performance. Let our team of access solution experts assist you in determining the optimal number of access mats for your next project!
How are CLT Mats Unique?
The critical reason CLT access mats outperform traditional bolted mats is their unique composition and construction. CLT access mats are manufactured by adhering alternating perpendicular layers of Southern Yellow Pine wood together with eco-friendly adhesive. This bolt-free method allows the access mat the flex under heavy loads and better distribute that weight evenly across the entire mat. That flexibility reduces the strain and shock of significant loads on the CLT access mat. That means you can confidently utilize these access mats for heavy-duty applications without fear of significantly damaging the mat. At GFI Solutions, we are Sterling Solution’s premier distributor of Site Safe CLT access mats. We are proud to provide our customers with longer-lasting, higher-quality, and more durable access solutions!
