RMA’s new Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Access Mat Delivers Significant Savings
December 3, 2012Rig Mats of America is taking the lead on the lightest weight access mat on the market today with the introduction of their new cost effective Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Access Mat. As the only United States supplier, RMA manufactures the all new CLT Access Mat with incredible strength and 50% less weight.
With the same look and ability to lock to standard oak or fir mats, the CLT Access Mat still remains considerably lighter than a traditional mat. This weight reduction means significant savings in trucking fees. Being able to load twice the mats per truck makes the CLT Access Mat the most cost effective mat to move from one location to another.
This mat has been engineered to be stronger than a fir mat in every way, making it an easy replacement for some traditional mats. Unlike the bolted versions of access mats, tests show that the mats will not diamond shape when dropped on a corner. Over time, a traditional bolted mat will become harder to fit together. The CLT Access Mat only has one bolted part, which is the fingers, making them easier to change out.
