Temporary roadways provide a sturdy and reliable surface for vehicles travelling over soft or unstable ground. Ideal for construction sites, outdoor events, or remote locations, these panels help prevent vehicles from getting stuck while protecting the underlying ground from damage. Available in various sizes and strengths, they accommodate both light and heavy vehicles, making them a versatile solution for temporary roads, access routes, or work zones.

About Temporary Road Panels

Temporary road panels create a robust surface for vehicles and can be used for a range of situations

They’re ideal for allowing smooth, unrestricted movement across soft, unstable, or uneven surfaces. This makes them perfect for places like construction sites or outdoor events, or simply when a new access route is required. They flex and contour to gradient changes, meaning they’re even effective on hilly or bumpy terrain.

Temporary road panels also protect the ground they are deployed on, ensuring that the repeated movement of vehicles doesn’t cause long-term damage. They have a smooth side that allows them to be deployed on delicate surfaces and not leave an imprint – which is a common fault with double-sided mats.

An anti-slip chequer plate traction pattern ensures that vehicles have maximum grip while travelling over the panels, even in adverse conditions.

There are temporary road panels in varying strengths and sizes, depending on the type of vehicles that will be driving on them.

Uses for Temporary Road Panels

Construction sites

Construction sites typically require reliable, sturdy routes for vehicles to move freely. Having a stable surface is particularly important when heavy machinery is in use. Protecting the ground is also a key concern on many sites, so temporary road panels are an essential addition.

Outdoor events

Temporary road panels can be an invaluable asset for outdoor events, where soft ground can quickly tear up and become too boggy for vehicles to move across. Vehicles and machinery are vital to ensuring events like festivals function smoothly and ensuring they can travel across sites unhindered is key.

Temporary car parks

Anywhere there is a high volume of vehicle movement, temporary road panels are likely to come in handy. Temporary car parks, particularly on outdoor, uneven, or unstable terrain, can benefit massively. Having a reliable route to, from, and around a car park in all weather conditions is essential.

Agriculture

Agricultural sites can use temporary road panels, whether it’s to allow access to a field in wet conditions, protect the ground in a barn or warehouse, or provide a stable surface where heavy machinery is in use.

Key factors to consider when purchasing Temporary Road Panels

You will have to consider a range of factors when weighing up which temporary road panel is right for your demands. Keep these aspects in mind when placing an order.

Deployment

Many temporary road panels are lightweight and deployable by hand, but it’s important to double deck how easily the panels you require can be moved. For sites where machine access is limited, having man-deployable systems is ideal. You should also check if any extra clips are needed – these are sold separately.

Load capacity

If you’re looking to create temporary roadways for heavy machinery, you’ll need heavy duty panels with a high load capacity. Ensure you check the maximum load capacity of the mat you choose and cross reference this with the weight of vehicles and machinery that will be in operation.

Dimensions

Depending on the vehicles or equipment that will be using the temporary road panels you require, you will need to ensure that they are of suitable width. Some panels are best suited to wheelbarrow tracks, while others are ideal for larger vehicles and machinery.

Function

Consider where your temporary road panels will be used and what safety features they need to have. For example, you may need a high level of slip resistance, chemical resistance, or impact resistance. Ensure you check the key features of the panel you require before ordering.
