FAQs

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.


What is the surface grip like?

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


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.


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.
