Traditionally, access mats are 2”x 8” boards of mixed hardwoods bolted together in a 3 ply fashion.
The standard sizes are 8’x14’ or 8’x16’, but custom sizes are available. This class of mats are commonly used as their name suggests, as temporary access roads to remote job sites.
CLT Swamp Mats
- 8’ x 14’ x 4.25”
- 8’ x 16’ x 4.25”
No rookie in the game. CLTs have proven themselves over the past few years and on many levels, as a more environmentally friendly and cost effective solution to bolted 3-ply mats. Our 8’x14’ comes with 34 per truck and our 8’x16’ at 32 so they can save a ton in freight costs. Also, because they are composed with adhesive instead of bolts or nails, they are safer; posing less of a risk for punctured tires or damaged equipment.
The Mavrik CLT
- 8′ x 14′
Mavrik CLT – A 3-ply CLT tailor made to the needs of the power and renewable energy industries. What we noticed on these projects was that the standard 4.25” 3-ply CLTs was far more mat than necessary to support the equipment being used on these projects. Secondly, the 3-ply CLT mats were primarily being destroyed by the environment, rendering them useless for supporting equipment, causing a time consuming cleanup, and a need for replacement mats every other job.
The solution? We designed the Mavrik CLT to fill the void. Coming in just a smidge thinner, the Mavrik CLT is 3.25” rather than 4.25”. This provides an immediate cost savings in raw material and an additional 30% cost reduction in freight costs. Further, to address the money drain that wood mats are on muddy jobsites, the Mavrik CLT comes with an optional Cu-Nap preservation coating to effectively seal 1.5” in all directions of the mat, shielding it from natural decomposition.

Bolted Swamp and Access Mats
- 8’ x 14’ x 5.5”
- 8’ x 16’ x 5.5”
Our bolted mats are made from mixed hardwoods as opposed to the softer Southern Yellow Pine. Hardwoods are more dense so these mats last longer in wet conditions. Mavrik has a ready supply of both used and new bolted hardwood 3-ply mats.
