Industry Recognition For Eucalyptus Crane Mats

World Forest Group eucalyptus crane mats were featured in American Crane and Transport magazine’s ground stabilization issue. This recognition highlights what contractors already know: Eucalyptus timber mats outperform typical mixed hardwood in strength, consistency, and total cost of ownership.

The crane and heavy transport industry demands reliable ground protection. Equipment failures or mat inconsistencies create safety risks and costly delays. That is why more operators are switching to eucalyptus crane mats.

Why Eucalyptus Crane Mats Outperform Mixed Hardwood in Crane Mat Ground Stabilization

Traditional mixed hardwood mats come with built-in problems. Wood species vary from mat to mat. Strength characteristics change unpredictably. Some timbers are strong, others weak.

Eucalyptus solves these problems through consistent biology and standardized production. Here is how eucalyptus crane mats deliver better performance.

Lighter Weight Reduces Freight And Handling Costs

Eucalyptus mats weigh 20% less than comparable mixed hardwood mats. This weight advantage creates immediate cost savings. You fit more mats per truck. Fewer trucks mean lower freight costs and less fuel consumption.

Lighter mats are easier to position on site. Your crew moves them faster with less equipment wear. Handling time drops, labor costs fall, and projects move quicker.

Superior Strength From Uniform Wood Structure – Improved Crane Mat Ground Stabilization. 

Despite weighing less, eucalyptus crane mats are 100-300% stronger than mixed hardwood. This seems impossible until you understand the wood structure. Eucalyptus grows as a single species on managed plantations. The wood has consistent density and grain.

Mixed hardwood combines different species with different strengths. A mat might include strong oak alongside weaker poplar or gum. Performance varies mat to mat. You never know what you are getting.

Eucalyptus gives you predictable strength every time. World Forest Group produces mats at a single facility using uniform eucalyptus timbers. Every mat meets the same high standard.

Longer Service Life Means Fewer Replacements

Eucalyptus crane mats last longer because the wood resists damage better. You get 3-5 more years of service compared to mixed hardwood. Fewer replacements lower your long-term costs.

The consistent grain structure also means less splitting and cracking. Mats stay intact through more load cycles. Your investment stretches further.

ASTM F1554 Compliance And Phytosanitary Treatment

All World Forest Group eucalyptus crane mats meet or exceed ASTM F1554 standards. We use Grade 36 or better bolts in every mat. This exceeds typical mixed hardwood construction.

Every mat receives US Government approved phytosanitary treatment. This prevents bugs and pests while meeting international shipping requirements. You can use these mats anywhere without biosecurity concerns.

Sustainable Sourcing Creates Consistent Quality

World Forest Group sources eucalyptus from sustainably managed plantations. Trees grow in limited geographical areas with uniform conditions. This creates reliable working characteristics across all timbers.

The plantation model also supports environmental responsibility. Managed forests sequester carbon while producing industrial timber. You get high-performance mats without contributing to deforestation.

Our single-facility production process eliminates variability. Every mat is produced the same way using the same quality eucalyptus. There are no surprises in the field.

What This Means For Your Heavy Lift Operations

When American Crane and Transport magazine features eucalyptus crane mats, it confirms what field operators already experience. These mats work better than conventional alternatives.

The benefits add up across your operation. Lower freight costs from lighter weight. Fewer replacements from longer service life. Better safety from consistent strength. Lower total cost of ownership from all these factors combined.

For crane operators, ground stabilization is not just about compliance. It is about keeping equipment safe and projects on schedule. Eucalyptus crane mats deliver that reliability.
