FAQs

What are aluminium trackway panels used for?

Our aluminium trackway panels provide load-bearing temporary access roads, allowing heavy vehicles and pedestrians to safely navigate all ground conditions from soft, wet terrain to steep inclines.


What weight can the Aluminium panels support?

Our panels can withstand a 250-tonne point load and a 1000-tonne gross train weight over ground with 2% CBR (all dependant on ground conditions), making them suitable for the heaviest road-going vehicles and plant machinery.


What are the benefits of aluminium trackway panels?

Aluminium trackway panels are 100% recyclable, repairable, and feature dual-sided serrated grip for strong traction. These panels are ideal for heavy vehicles and temporary access needs on challenging terrain, including muddy and wet ground.


What is the load capacity of aluminium trackway panels?

Our aluminium trackway panels can support loads of up to 15 tonnes per axle, making them suitable for even the heaviest construction vehicles and machinery. The panels are suitable for most load applications, subject to panel configuration and ground conditions.


Are the panels safe for pedestrian use?

Yes. Each panel has a dual-sided design - a low-profile, pedestrian-friendly topside for smooth walking surfaces, and a corrugated underside for extra grip, ensuring maximum traction and safety.


What makes Steerable Panels different from other panels?

They can curve up to 30 degrees, creating a seamless access surface without the need for overlapping panels, or cutting them.


How much weight can Steerable Panels support?

For use in conjunction with the Heavy-Duty Aluminium panel, the Steerable Panel is suitable for most load applications, subject to panel configuration and ground conditions.


Can the panels be configured for different site layouts?

Absolutely, the panels’ scalable design allows for flexible configurations to suit your site's layout, load-bearing requirements, and access needs. Combined with our Steerable Aluminium Panels, they can be configured to navigate around bends up to 30°.


How quickly can aluminium panels be installed?

A team of just two people can install up to 50 metres of panels in 1-2 hours, for minimal disruption and downtime on-site.


Can aluminium trackway panels be used on muddy or uneven ground?

Yes, aluminium panels are designed to provide a stable and safe surface even on soft, slippery, or muddy terrain. The corrugated underside grips onto the ground for strong traction on uneven or steep ground.


Are the panels environmentally friendly?

Unlike plastic panels that need to be discarded when damaged, our aluminium panels are 100% recyclable and feature a repairable design. This makes them more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run. Compared to aggregate roads, which require digging, hard-coring, and reinstating, our panels are quicker to install, reusable, and require no extensive groundwork.


What is the surface grip like?

The corrugated surface provides excellent traction, even in wet or slippery conditions.


What sizes of aluminium panels are available?

Our aluminium panels come in 3m and 4m widths, as well as our Steerable Panels providing versatile options for creating temporary access routes.


Do you provide professional installation for aluminium panels?

Yes, these panels are only available to hire via our professional installation service.


Are Steerable Panels compatible with other panels?

Yes, they integrate seamlessly with our 3 and 4-metre Heavy Duty Aluminium Panels, and a range of our plastic trackways and accessories, for a customisable site layout.


What types of ground can Steerable Panels handle?

They are suitable for a variety of ground conditions to create routes around obstacles like trees, buildings, or uneven terrain.


Are aluminium panels environmentally friendly?

Yes, our aluminium panels are 100% recyclable and deliver up to 80% carbon savings compared to aggregate road alternatives. Their repairable design reduces waste and eliminates the need for frequent replacements.


What accessories are available with aluminium trackway panels?

We supply a range of accessories to complement aluminium panels, including ramps, underlays, and more, for a complete and safe temporary access solution.


Why is avoiding overlap important?

Overlap can create trip hazards, which can be dangerous. Our Steerable Panels seamlessly follow curves in the land without having to overlap panels.


Are Steerable Panels eco-friendly?

Yes, they are made from recyclable aluminium, reducing waste and environmental impact.
