Access When It Matters Most
Whether you’re mid-way through a project and facing sudden delays due to the climate making your site inaccessible or are hoping to plan ahead to avoid such headaches, having the right mats on hand plays a large role in managing deadlines and preventing costly downtime. From eliminating terrain obstacles when it comes to setting up your site in the initial phases to ensuring the smooth delivery of resources throughout the entire job, access mats are a vital resource for any project manager and their crew. When looking for viable options, you’ll want to consider key components like:
- Rental or Purchase
- Overall Cost, including-Replacement cost, Trucking costs and Install and removal costs
- How long will the mats last with the equipment we will be driving on the mats
- Am I renting 5-year-old mats and going to pay to replace them all at the end of the project
- Do I want to have bolts protruding from mats potentially injuring workers and equipment
- Existing terrain conditions and how they may change season to season, and more.
TerraLam® CLT access mats address each of these points easily, providing you with a lower price point, up to 50% more shipping capacity with each order due to lighter weight ratios, and unbeatable strength and durability maximizing the life cycle and your investment.

Lighter, Stronger, Built To Last Longer
A larger part of what makes TerraLam®’s CLT line of matting solutions unique in comparison to traditional mats comes down to the very design of the mats themselves. Engineered to be up to 40% lighter than standard bolted mats, TerraLam mats utilize cross laminated timber (CLT) technology to guarantee the strongest access mat on the market with unmatched strength and safety. Cross Laminated Timber is the process of bonding alternating perpendicular layers of wood with a special adhesive to create the finished product as opposed to the traditional bolted structure. TerraLam CLT access mats allow even distribution of weight throughout the entire mat, leading to less chance of breakage, even under the heaviest of loads.
Introducing the 300 Model
Significantly lighter than bolted mats, the 8’ x 14’ or 8’x16’ 300 mat can save you up to 50% on freight costs, allowing you to transport 72 mats per truckload compared to only 35 bolted mats of the same size. Manufactured from southern yellow pine, each mat features bevelled edges for easy handling, they can be manufactured with or without 1” oak fingers. With the design intended to encourage faster installation, you’ll be able to get up to speed in no time, allowing your project to start off, or finish on the right foot.
