0% Attrition on 1,000 Mats
“We purchased 1000 16’x4’x8″ Eucalyptus mats from you three years ago. As of June 2024, our attrition = 0%. Haven’t lost a single mat. Most of our mixed hardwood mats are gone during the same period. Ordering more.”

“When I first heard about Eucalyptus mats I’d ask, ‘How long have Eucalyptus mats been around as a product?’ These claims are a little too good to be true. Will it really do this? But now, a year after using them, if someone called me, I’d say, ‘Everything World Forest Group said its Eucalyptus mats were going to do, they did.'”

“The 6″ mats are performing very well. After about 140 million pounds and 2100 round trips (loaded weight about 92,000 lbs) over five months of use they are still perfect. Their performance is great.”

FROM THE FIELD
Real operators. Real experience. Real results in demanding conditions.
“I have handled literally every type of timber mat from the hardwoods to the pines, as well as different vendors mats. I just want to express they are the best timber mat I have ever experienced. They handle fantastic with a front end loader. They are super easy to coordinate if laying a pad.”

Quality Assurance
Quality Control Specialist
National Pipeline Company
“Compared with mixed hardwoods – actually a stronger mat; you should not be concerned with performance. The quality of construction: Eucalyptus mats have solid construction, square timbers, stronger steel bolts, no wane and bark, more wood. They hold up just as well if not better.”
Wind Energy
National Construction Firm – Wind Division
“They provided a good quality Eucalyptus mat. The mats were readily available and delivered in a timely fashion. One thing we noticed is that they didn’t chip as much and held up really well against our steel track excavator, and with very little deflection.”

“We’ve received nothing but positive feedback from our crews regarding the quality and durability of these mats. They’re consistently impressed with how well they perform in demanding field conditions.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our Eucalyptus timber mats
What is the difference between crane mats and timber mats?
Crane mats and timber mats are the same product. ‘Crane mats’ is commonly used when describing thicker mats underneath heavy lift cranes, often 12″ thick rather than 8″ thick, and when a crane uses an access road.
Whether you’re searching for crane mats, timber mats, rig mats, or construction mats, World Forest Group’s Eucalyptus mats deliver the same superior performance: 100-300% greater strength than mixed hardwood and 2-5x longer lifespan.
What makes Eucalyptus timber mats superior to mixed hardwood?
Eucalyptus timber mats are 100-300% stronger in bending strength and last 2-5x longer than mixed hardwood alternatives.
Our Eucalyptus mats are sustainably sourced from managed plantation forests and deliver superior load-bearing performance under the heaviest equipment. This increased strength translates to dramatically longer lifespan and reduced replacement costs and downtime over the life of your project.
How much can I save with Eucalyptus timber mats?
Customers typically save $500-$1500 per mat over the total cost of ownership. Eucalyptus mats cost approximately $10/mat-month compared to $25/mat-month for mixed hardwood alternatives.
The savings come from Eucalyptus mats’ 5-7 year lifespan compared to 18-24 months for mixed hardwood. This dramatically reduces replacement frequency, logistics costs, and project downtime. Additionally, zero attrition rates reported by customers eliminate the hidden costs of mid-project mat failures.
What is the depreciable mat life and do you have any backup for my accountants?
A five year depreciation is conservative as customers report that Eucalyptus mats under appropriate use have lasted 5-7 years.
Furthermore, research shows that a 6.5 year old mat has only lost about 15% of its original manufactured strength adding empirical data to the customer reports.
What is the data on zero attrition?
Multiple customers report 0% attrition rates after four years of continuous heavy use with Eucalyptus mats.
This exceptional durability dramatically reduces replacement costs, equipment downtime, and project delays compared to traditional mixed hardwood alternatives that typically show 33-50% annual attrition. Our superior strength and plantation-grade Eucalyptus ensure consistent performance throughout the entire project lifecycle.
How many Eucalyptus mats fit on a truck?
Eucalyptus timber mats allow 25% more mats per truckload compared to heavier mixed hardwood alternatives, reducing transportation costs and improving logistics efficiency.
Eucalyptus is naturally lighter than mixed hardwood species while maintaining superior strength. This weight advantage means fewer truck trips, lower fuel costs, and faster site deployment. For large-scale projects, this translates to significant logistics savings and reduced carbon footprint from transportation.
What is your typical delivery lead time?
Our standard delivery lead time is 5-6 weeks from order confirmation.
We also offer expedited delivery options for urgent projects. Contact our team for specific timeline estimates tailored to your project location and requirements. Early planning ensures optimal delivery scheduling.
Do you offer both rental and purchase options?
Yes, we offer both rental and purchase options for all our Eucalyptus timber mats.
Given the extended 5-7 year lifespan of our Eucalyptus mats compared to 18-24 months for mixed hardwood, many customers find that purchasing provides superior long-term value and lower total cost of ownership for multi-year projects.
Can you handle large-scale projects?
Yes, we can supply large-scale projects with proper advance planning.
We work closely with project managers to develop customized delivery schedules that match your construction timeline. Most customers find that planning 6-8 weeks in advance ensures seamless mat availability throughout project phases, while our longer-lasting mats reduce the total quantity needed compared to traditional alternatives.
What certifications do your mats carry?
Our timber mats meet all US Government phytosanitary requirements and are sustainably sourced from certified managed plantations.
Every shipment includes proper documentation for customs clearance and regulatory compliance. Our plantation sources maintain international forestry certifications ensuring responsible harvesting practices and environmental stewardship.
How long has World Forest Group been manufacturing timber mats?
World Forest Group has been precision manufacturing high-value timber products since 1995, with over 30 years of family expertise in delivering premium products to the construction industry.
Our three-decade heritage means proven quality control, established supply chain relationships with sustainable Eucalyptus plantations, and deep expertise in serving demanding industries like oil & gas, transmission, and renewable energy. Family ownership ensures consistent quality standards and long-term customer relationships.
What is the environmental impact of Eucalyptus timber mats?
Eucalyptus timber mats are sustainably sourced from managed plantations with 35-40 year harvest cycles and are fully biodegradable.
Our Eucalyptus is sourced exclusively from certified plantation forests, not natural forests. These fast-growing trees reach harvest maturity in 35-40 years and are replanted immediately, creating a sustainable cycle. The plantations actively sequester carbon during growth, and at end-of-life, Eucalyptus mats are 100% biodegradable unlike synthetic alternatives. We maintain full chain-of-custody documentation for environmental compliance.
