We’ll also cover what drivable event flooring can withstand, best practices for handling and safety, and how transport-efficient it is. Additionally, we’ll explore the different ways and places you can use drivable event flooring. So if you’re curious about drivable event flooring, keep reading for all the information you need.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Depending on the system, you can drive the soil protection over with heavy or less heavy vehicles and machines. Some drivable event flooring systems are available in different designs or colors. Moreover, they differ in material and design.

Lightweight Aluminum Withstands Heavy Loads

Therefore, they have different properties. These influence the possible applications. Aluminum, for example, is much lighter than steel. So it can withstand heavy loads. Our HD Panels and Box Panels are highly resilient. Therefore, these offer the best traction on soft floors with their profiled surface.

Weatherproof Rubber and Plastic Panels

Rubber and plastic panels are highly resistant to weathering and less at theft risk. Some are characterized by flexibility. Therefore, these ideally adapt to uneven surfaces. Others are very suitable for sensitive surfaces, such as tartan. Wooden panels such as Plywood are particularly easy to cut to size. So you can lay them down with a precise fit. However, wood is susceptible to weathering and can become slippery.

PRODUCT FEATURES: MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING

We offer pedestrian event flooring solutions that are easy to install by hand and form smooth, stable, pedestrian-friendly panels. Thanks to non-slip surface structures, they ensure secure flooring. Anyone planning a multi-day event on stadium turf should also pay attention to the light- and air-permeable texture and the recommended laying time. They can use ground protection products such as Matrax Panels, Terratrak, or Pedestrian Event Flooring. Additional note: All heavy-duty flooring solutions can combine with almost any pedestrian event flooring protection system.

For Indoor And Outdoor Use

Remopla stands out as drivable event flooring with special applications. The rubber panels are also suitable for indoor use, sports hall floors, or ice surfaces. Terraktrak is also ideal for indoor use. Besides the load, choosing a flooring system also depends on the nature of the surface to be covered. Is it a hilly and wet meadow or stadium turf? Is it artificial or natural green? Is it a riding arena, ice rink, or sports hall floor? Therefore, some solutions are more suitable for firm, level ground, and others for soft, uneven terrain.

Highly flexible: Easily mastering unevenness

Drivable Event Flooring PistEco is flexible and suitable for heavy loads. Therefore, it can bend in all directions to construct roads on uneven terrain and small corners. Highly flexible Easymats are ideal for almost any terrain. The plastic mats can cover gravel bottom run-off zones at racetracks. Moreover, Hexagon also easily withstands unevenness. Similarly, due to their honeycomb design, even asymmetrical surfaces can be implemented with the hexagonal ground protection panels.

HOW SUSTAIBANLE IS DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING?

Without a doubt, drivable event flooring is an eco-friendly solution. After all, protecting the covered subsoil is one of the key tasks in this area. Ground covers prevent damage to the soil, and they reduce soil compaction. Moreover, they help prevent soiling and damage to sensitive surfaces by mechanical impacts. In some cases, you can significantly minimize crop failures in this way. We even offer drivable event flooring solutions ideal for water conservancies. The advantages are evident if you use drivable event flooring solutions. This avoids the need to remove grounds. Time and cost-intensive renaturation are no longer necessary.

Made From 100 Percent Recyclable Materials

How sustainable are our drivable event flooring products in comparison? Our plastic panels are primarily made from recycled, reusable materials. We pay a lot of attention to leaving as small a CO₂ footprint as possible. This is particularly true in producing our specially developed aluminum panels, made from 100 percent recyclable materials. Besides recycling, durability, transport efficiency, and other criteria are considered in the product evaluation. For example, our Arena Panels, Arena Light Panels, Easymats, and Hexagon perform very well.

SUSTAINABILITY AT A GLANCE

  • Avoids field damage
  • Prevents ground compaction
  • Prevents pollution and damage to sensitive surfaces
  • Minimizes harvest failures
  • Saves expensive renaturation
  • Recycled and recyclable materials

WHAT CAN DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING WITHSTAND?

The choice of a drivable event flooring system depends on the ground conditions and its intended loads. For example, a heavy-duty panel produced from extruded aluminum can handle extreme loads. HD Panels are ideal in the construction industry and for heavy-duty transport, even on level terrain that is difficult to drive on. Box Panels also guarantee optimum distribution of high loads and are also versatile. Like our Arena Panels and Arena Light Panels, they allow access for heavy vehicles up to a maximum weight of 12 tons per axle.

The Proper System for Every Load

Sometimes laying several levels is the solution: Laying multiple layers of ground protection, such as Plywood, increases the load-bearing capacity. So this makes it possible to build a heavy-duty road. In addition to the height, the type of load also plays a role. Is a container to be parked or a stage to be set up? Do vehicles have to drive on it – and if so, which ones? Large construction vehicles place different demands on the ground than forklifts. We offer the right system for every load.

HANDLING: BEST WAYS TO USE DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING

Drivable event flooring determines the selection of the right system. For example, some aluminum panels can connect with form-fit and force-fit in all directions. Installing HD Panels, Box Panels, and PistEco requires a crane truck. Moreover, such heavy-duty systems provide highly stable surfaces and roadways. However, many ground protection systems, including our Arena Panels, can be easily installed by hand.

Manual Installation: Quick Assembly and Disassembly

The advantage of manual solutions: They enable particularly fast assembly and disassembly. Therefore, this is important in both the construction and event industries. Similarly, manual installation usually makes less noise. Some panels have elongated all-round recesses. Therefore, these do not require any screws at all. This makes handling particularly easy. You can clip them in or connect them, and you’re done. Other systems have cam locks that you can tighten with special rotary keys. Moreover, you can install rolled products such as our LD Rolls in no time by simply unrolling them.

Ramps, Transitions, and Other Extras

A combination of different systems may be possible in addition to a multi-layer installation of certain ground covers, such as Plywood, to increase the load-bearing capacity. For example, installing Box Panels on top of HD Panels in a rainy area may make sense. On request, we can provide various services such as transport, assembly, and disassembly, including the final cleaning. Moreover, our supervisors can provide on-site support. Various add-ons, such as ramps for smooth transitions, components that serve as expansion, or additional underlays, complete our range of services – to ensure maximum ground protection.

HOW DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING KEEPS YOU AND YOU MATERIALS SAFE

Safety is an exceptionally high priority for us, especially when protecting machines and materials from damage. However, people are the main focus of our considerations and measures. We want to create a safe environment for everyone involved with our products and safety precautions – whether for employees or visitors.

Walkways And Roads That Are Safe to Walk And Drive On

Drivable event flooring contributes to environmental protection and ensures that walkways and roads are safe for walking and driving. Drivable event flooring increases the load-bearing capacity of the ground and ensures perfect load distribution. In addition, non-slip surfaces provide optimum support for people and vehicles. A solid base makes stable foundations of all kinds possible. Ground protection panels prevent vehicles from getting stuck on the unpaved ground or sinking and can also reduce dust pollution during events on dry terrain.

TRANSPORT EFFICIENCY: LOADING AND PACKAGING FOR DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING

Arena Panels and the lighter Arena Light Panels stand out among the other aluminum panels. Both systems offer high transport efficiency. Also, the heavy-duty plastic cover system PistEco is transport-efficient.

Low Weight Affects The Transport

Lightweight is a factor that influences transport as well as handling. The heavy-duty systems Matrax Panels and Terratrak, which can be laid by hand, stand out as light. Therefore, this simplifies the transport of the ground panels. Plywood comes into play when protecting floors from light to medium-heavy loads. This ground cover is also highly transport- and cost-efficient.

WHERE AND HOW TO USE DRIVABLE EVENT FLOORING?

Drivable Event Flooring is primarily ideal for outdoor and short-term applications. For example, it’s perfect for creating temporary working and parking areas, access roads, and assembly platforms on construction sites. These flooring systems can also benefit mobile construction roads, transport routes, parking lots, stage foundations, or substructures for seating at temporary events. Heavy-duty systems can provide safe roads for forklifts, trucks, or other heavy transport vehicles and construction equipment.

Prepare Grounds for Large Open-Air Events

Ground protection systems play a significant role in preparing soccer stadiums, festival grounds, or other venues used for concerts to meet the high load requirements of large open-air events. These systems are ideal for use on natural or artificial turf in arenas, golf courses, parks, or other green spaces, as well as on race tracks, harness racing tracks, or tartan tracks. There are suitable solutions for every surface type, including natural, artificial, soft, and hard soils for level, uneven, and rough terrain. The right system choice depends on a case-by-case basis. However, with drivable event flooring, you can create roads and walkways with ideal load distribution and improved load-bearing capacity.
