Conquer The Canadian Landscape With Access Mats
It’s no secret that the Canadian landscape can be unforgiving when it comes to keeping major projects on track. Rugged terrain combined with rapidly fluctuating temperatures can lead to less than ideal circumstances for trucks and heavy equipment to navigate. Access mats serve a valuable asset that allows you to safely transport goods and materials from your job site with minimal disruptions as well as mitigating safety hazards caused by mud, ice, sleet, and other issues. With multiple compositions and weight capabilities, TerraLam®’s line of Cross Laminated Timber matting solutions offers superior performance, standing up to the demand of heavy loads and constant use and giving you the reliable path you need when it matters most.
Discover TerraLam® Matting Solutions
At GFI Solutions we’re proud to offer our clients access to the top matting solutions available on the market. That’s why our team is proud to partner with Sterling to offer their range of TerraLam® products. Engineered to be 40% lighter than traditional bolted mats, TerraLam® CLT access mats give you the benefits of exceptional durability as well as long term dependability and performance. The lightweight composition of the mat greatly increases your hauling capacity, allowing for the transport of up to double the normal amount allowed by bolted mats, which saves time and money. The unique composition of CLT mats (more on that below) allow for such enhanced performance that GFI is proud to stand behind their quality.
What Makes CLT Mats Different
The main advantages of CLT mats over traditional bolted mats are the result of the unique process that goes into construction. TerraLam® mats are crafted using the CLT method, which binds planks together using environmentally safe, structural adhesive instead of bolts. While bolted mats are only able to transfer the burden of a load at the location of the mechanical fasteners, adhered TerraLam® access mats distribute the weight evenly throughout the entire mat, giving it increased durability and flexibility to prevent breaking. This leads to increased performance and longevity, giving you an exceptional return on investment. When you need solutions that you can depend on from job to job, CLT mats are a clear contender for both performance and cost.
