Truckcell™ is a heavy-duty cellular porous paving system designed for intensive usage and high-load traffic applications. The permeable paver can be filled with topsoil and seeded, or filled with gravel to provide a structural surface for HGV traffic, trucks and coaches.
Heavy duty porous paver, allows formation of heavy duty permeable grass or retained gravel pavements.
Applications
HGV parking & access yards
Gravel access roads
Loading areas
Coach parks
Emergency vehicle access routes / Fire routes
Grass car parking
Gravel car parks
Visitor attraction car parks
Wind farms
Park and Ride schemes
Benefits
Lightweight compared to permeable concrete block paving systems
Plastic pavers resist cracking under stress
Reduces construction time compared to concrete paving
High strength alternative to concrete permeable paving
High load-bearing capacity
Produces a permeable surface
Higher quality of grass establishment compared to concrete alternatives
Source control as part of SuDS system
Manufactured from recycled plastic
Fully recyclable
Truckcell™ is a thick, heavy-duty porous paver manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and is strong enough to withstand daily trafficking from vehicles with high wheel loadings such as trucks, buses, fire appliances and refuse vehicles. The high load-bearing capacity of the porous pavers make them suitable for applications such as HGV parking and access roads, haul roads, loading areas, car parks, coach parks and emergency vehicle access routes.

The polymer construction of Truckcell permeable paving grids is semi-flexible, giving them a greater resistance to cracking than permeable concrete paving grid alternatives. Each Truckcell grid unit weighs 9kg, keeping it well within Health and Safety manual handling guidelines.
Truckcell is a high-performance, lighter-weight product than grass concrete pavers that facilitates simple manual installation and can greatly reduce installation time and site plant costs. Once installed, the open-cell structure of Truckcell paving grids is filled with a free-draining aggregate for a gravel paving surface, or a grass rootzone material to form a permeable grass paving surface which can provide surface water source control within a SuDS design. The Truckcell paving cells are typically filled with either an angular gravel or with a growing media and then seeded to provide a green finish in accordance with the aesthetic and maintenance requirements of the project.
