Description

A heavy-duty cellular paving system designed for intensive usage and high-load traffic applications. The cells are filled with topsoil and seeded for grassed applications. Truckcell™ is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and is strong enough to withstand trafficking from vehicles with high wheel loadings such as trucks, buses, fire appliances and refuse vehicles.


The polymer construction is semi-flexible, giving it a greater resistance to cracking than concrete alternatives and each unit weighs 9 kg, which keeps it well within Health and Safety manual handling guidelines. This high performance, lighter-weight product facilitates simple manual installation and can greatly reduce installation time and site plant costs. Once installed, the open-cell structure is filled with a free draining material to form a pervious surface which can provide surface water source control within a SuDS design.


The cells are typically filled with a growing media and then seeded to provide a green vegetated finish in accordance with the aesthetic and maintenance requirements of the project application.


Cell infill:

  • Grass: Good quality, free-draining, friable top-soil with no contaminants or oversized debris. 35–50 g/m² amenity-blend, low-maintenance seed to specification.


Features and benefits:

  • Lightweight.
  • Flexible.
  • Environmentally friendly.
  • High loads.
  • High vegetation yield.
  • Stable.
