CLT access mats are created by binding alternating planks together with an environmentally safe, structural adhesive instead of bolts. This method of gluing planks together means that TerraLam® access mats are able to distribute weight evenly throughout the entire mat, allowing for increased durability and flexibility to prevent breaking, even under heavy loads. Simply put, CLT mats give you the best of both worlds where price and performance are concerned!
