Pros & Cons: Checkers vs Wood vs Aluminium
TuffTrak
Pros
1. Can be recycled at end of life
2. Chemically inert - no contamination risk from chemicals, oils, or fluids
3. Impervious to water absorption
4. Strength/performance guaranteed to be consistent from mat to mat
5. Aggressive tread patterns to provide traction and grip in the most adverse weather conditions
6. Light in weight and can be deployed by two persons without heavy equipment
Cons
1. More expensive than wood alternatives
Wood
Pros
1. Can be recycled if the wood is clean and uncontaminated
2. Cheap
Cons
1. Has a short life cycle resulting in higher costs over time
2. Risk of cross-contamination due to absorption and leaching of oils, fluids, and chemicals
3. Vulnerable to insects, fungi and bacteria
4. Difficult to clean
5. Absorbs water and liquids which accelerates rotting and de-lamination resulting in inconsistent strength from sheet to sheet
6. No definitive load rating available - load rating changes from mat to mat
7. No traction - very slippery when wet. Mud or ice build-up creates hazardous conditions for vehicles or personnel.
Aluminium
Pros
1. Can be recycled at end of life
2. High load capacity
3. Very durable
4. Impervious to water and insects
Cons
1. Corrodes over time leading to environmental concerns such as rust
2. Extremely heavy requiring specialized equipment for transportation and installation.
3. May cause damage to the sensitive ground due to its heavy weight
4. Conductive posing a potential risk in areas where electrical insulation is required
5. Theft risk due to its high value as scrap
6. No traction - very slippery when wet. Mud or ice build-up creates hazardous conditions for vehicles or personnel.
