Description

TuffTrak®XL sets a standard as the ultimate heavy-duty road mat, designed to provide unparalleled performance in various industries and applications. Crafted from tough 100% recycled Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), TuffTrak®XL stands out as the leading solid compression-molded mat on the market.

Its innovative design makes TuffTrak®XL lighter and more cost-effective to transport compared to other composite mats, resulting in fewer transportation expenses. The chemically inert nature of the mat makes it ideal for use on environmentally sensitive sites, offering a solid construction that is highly resistant to punctures, thereby mitigating the risk of invasive species or cross-contamination between different work sites.

This composite mat is engineered for heavy equipment, machinery, and multiple vehicles, featuring solid one-piece construction for unmatched durability and reliability. With a unique Chevron Traction® surface on one side and a low-profile surface on the other, TuffTrak®XL provides flexible applications for drilling rigs, work pads, depot areas, helipads, and beyond.

TuffTrak®XL is also non-conductive, making it the ideal solution for transmission projects. With its connection options for different terrains and equipment, this mat offers versatile and dependable temporary access for all types of weather and ground conditions.

Used in a variety of industries, including Civil Engineering, Construction, Oil & Gas, Utilities maintenance, Transmission, Infrastructure, and Military Sites, TuffTrak®XL has been internationally proven to deliver heavy-duty temporary access, showcasing its exceptional reliability and adaptability.

With its dual traction surface, TuffTrak®XL offers a pedestrian-friendly low-profile traction surface on one side and a rugged nub design Chevron Traction surface on the other. The Chevron Traction surface delivers exceptional grip, dispels mud during vehicle traversal, and minimizes sideways movement and slippage for optimal forward traction, making it an essential choice for heavy vehicles and machinery.

ACME bolt connection systems are included with every mat. Use specially designed connectors (TTXLSCONN) for linking multiple mats on unstable surfaces or rough terrain. Typically two connectors are used per mat. TTXLSCONN sold as single units.

Although plywood may be viewed as a low-cost option, this type of ground protection has many downsides and is not cheaper in the long term due to their shorter life expectancy compared to polyethylene mats. Their load ratings are generally unknown, can vary from sheet to sheet and the load capacity also deteriorates over time.

The Cons of Using Plywood as Ground Protection

Absorbs water / liquids which increases weight and accelerates rotting and de-lamination of ply mats

Safety hazard from splinters or debris

Risk of cross contamination from oils, chemicals, and fluids

Inconsistent strength properties from mat to mat

Very susceptible to fungi, bacteria, insects and rodents

Very limited life span resulting in a higher cost over time

No traction creates an unsafe often slippery surface for equipment and personnel

The True Cost of Using Plywood

The main reason plywood is the ground protection choice among many contractors is the low initial investment. However, in the long term, using plywood as ground protection is much more expensive than Checkers ground protection mats.

Ground Protection Mats vs Plywood

Ground Protection Mats
Designed to handle heavy loads
Able to be connected to keep your roadway in place
High ROI - long life helps you keep it for many years
Variety of tread options for vehicles, pedestrians traffic
Able to be easily cleaned to avoid cross contamination
Plywood
Short life span - frequently 1 project resulting in higher cost of ownership
Not able to be interlocked - can move during operations
No weight rating resulting in unpredictable performance
No tread or alternate color options limiting performance or impacting subsurfaces
Risk of cross contamination
