Revolutionary Technology
Some might say that CLT mats are an exceptionally engineered product that revolutionizes the access matting industry. Companies in the oil and gas, construction, infrastructure and chemical industries rely greatly on CLT mats as they allow for more efficient workflow at a cost-effective budget. The beauty of CLT mats lies in their production as they are manufactured using Southern Yellow Pine wood, which is 30% stronger than Douglas Fir fibre found in traditional bolted mats. Southern Yellow Pine wood is also 40% lighter than Douglas Fir, which allows for the transportation of 25% more units per load, saving you valuable money and time. CLT rig mats, in particular, can withstand heavier loads than regular CLT worksite mats as they are steel-framed to provide support for equipment such as cranes, excavators, rigs, etc.
CLT Mats In; Traditional Bolted Mats Out
CLT mats are uniquely designed using eco-friendly adhesion to offer stronger on-site performance. Instead of using bolts to bond the wooden planks together, CLT mats are adhered together using non-toxic glue. This process allows the CLT mats more flexibility and strength as the weight is evenly distributed throughout the mat, leading to unrivalled performance even in the toughest conditions. CLT mats are not only more robust than traditional mats but they also:
- Repel Moisture and Rot
- Have High Impact Resistance
- Withstand Extreme Heat and Cold
- Reduce Tripping Hazards
- Minimize Tire Damage
…and more!
