Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Eucalyptus timber mats typically last in the field?

Eucalyptus timber mats typically last about 5-7 years in service, compared with about 18-24 months for mixed hardwood mats. For most total cost of ownership calculations on powerline mats, we use 66 months for Eucalyptus versus 21 months for mixed hardwood.

Why can Eucalyptus mats cost less overall even if the purchase price may be higher?

The key number is monthly depreciation: Eucalyptus powerline mats run about $10/month versus about $25/month for mixed hardwood. That difference comes from longer service life, fewer replacements, and better freight efficiency.

What sizes of Eucalyptus mats are available?

World Forest Group manufactures 45 different solid timber mat sizes. Sizes range from 6 ft x 18 in x 6 in to 18 ft x 4 ft x 12 in, including a 7 ft wide mat.

Are test data and specification sheets available for engineering review?

Yes. This page includes a product specification sheet, white paper, maintenance guide, safety guide, sustainability report, and case studies, and ASTM D143 third-party laboratory testing is available on request.

What applications are Eucalyptus timber mats best suited for?

Eucalyptus timber mats are excellent for pipeline, transmission, renewable energy, crane mat, and heavy civil applications. You get the most benefit when you use the mats for a long time and/or move them often.

Are Eucalyptus timber mats plantation-grown and sustainably sourced?

Yes. World Forest Group uses plantation-grown Eucalyptus, and every mat has a barcode that can be traced back to the forest it came from.

How do Eucalyptus timber mats help reduce freight and handling costs?

You get about 25% more Eucalyptus mats per truck than mixed hardwood, or about 23 versus 18 mats per truck in powerline mat calculations. At $1,500 per truck and 4 moves per year, freight is about $18 per mat per move and roughly $360,000 over five years for a 1,000-mat

What kind of quality assurance supports World Forest Group Eucalyptus timber mats?

A 10-point Manufacturer’s Guarantee covers substantially no wane, rot-resistant Eucalyptus timber, metal end plates, end sealant, and uniform, true-to-size product. All product is produced in accordance with QC and production manuals.
