Product description: Flexible mats, (120cm W x 83cm L x 4cm H) largely consisting of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). PVC is virtually trouble-free (in comparison to other materials) during temperature changes, since it expands equally in all directions, and contracts into the same shape and size. (e.g. no “memory” as with many plastics). The elements are relatively pliable and flexible, UV-stabilized, durable with a long lifespan, does not decay or deteriorate, are non-polluting and resistant to acids and leaching compounds, acid rain etc. and 100% recyclable! (as per Laboratory Certificate). ProEquus® OT40™ Perforated Mat has been proven to contain no PCB, nor any other pollutants for animals, plants, groundwater, microorganisms, etc.
Uses: As secure riding surfaces in horse facilities (e.g. for riding, training, events and shows, and tournament facilities) and/or general animal husbandry, pasture entrances, paths and walkway to paddocks etc…). Due to the straight edges, the mats nest against each other snugly. ProEquus® OT40™ may be trimmed to fit using portable hand tools (saws) or power hand tools (circular saws, etc. It is not necessary to pre-cut the pieces, they may be trimmed-to-fit easily during installation, thus saving time and energy.
anti-slip surface
advantage:
• perfect traction on safe ground
• little or even *no ground preparation required
• reduced footing depth required
• less maintenance needed
• optimal stability
quick and easy
installation
advantage:
• self installation is not a problem
(a *small crew can install 800 m² in approx. 3 hours)
• Mats remain securely in place
• SAVE MONEY!
prevents compaction
advantage:
• optimum
drainage
• no more muddy conditions
• Mats remain in place - do not slide
surface remains elastic
advantage:
• treats the
tendons and joints with care
• helps reduce the risk of injury
• no more uncontrolled slipping
mats provide drainage
without sediments
advantage:
• prevents the mixing of footing material and sub base
made from elastic PVC (PolyVinyl
Chloride)
advantage:
• drivable with heavy vehicles, UV resistant
• Model OT40 - unconnected
• Model WE40 - tongue and groove connection
applications
advantage:
• outdoor- and indoor- riding arenas
• paddocks, turn-outs
• hotwalkers, round pens
• race track, training tracks, etc.

What is HoofGrid? HoofGrid™, HoofGrid-40™ and HoofGrid HD™ are the original equestrian footing & flooring grid system, German-engineered and German-Manufactured.
HoofGrid™ - the most successful soil stabilization system in Europe, widely tested and applied worldwide for years - is now available to the American livestock and equine industries.
How it works . . .
Load-bearing
capacity: up to 70,000 lbs. per square foot.:
Working on the ‘snowshoe principle,’ the grids disperse the weight of
the stock over a larger surface area (effectively, 689 square inches for
a four-legged animal).
How strong was
that? During
installation, maintenance, or normal usage – earthmoving equipment,
tractors, steamrollers or fully loaded dump trucks may be driven on top
of the grids.
Because the
entire systems interlocks,
for the horse or steer to sink into the mud, theoretically it would need
to weigh about 160,000 lbs. or more.
Permanently
retire from your paddock improvement
career, and forever forget the ‘spread 6-12 inches of gravel and replace
regularly’ system. The grids permanently separate the top layer from the
ground sub-base, preventing intermingling of the layers. In many
conditions, no foundation work is required. In the rest, much less stone
is required, and never needs
replaced!
Strong and
flexible!
The system is manufactured from Post-Consumer reinforced LDPE
(Polyethylene). It is able to withstand climate extremes from -30 to
+180 degrees Fahrenheit while remaining flexible.
Hoof-Grid or
HoofGrid HD?
Hoof-Grid:
1/3 meter square X 3 cm. High Load-bearing capacity 15.36 tons / sq ft*
HoofGrid HD:
1/3 meter
square X 5 cm. High Load-bearing capacity 35.84 tons / sq ft*
(*When correctly installed. For all practical purposes, stock cannot
damage Hoof-Grid without using power tools )
For most equestrian applications the standard Hoof-Grid is sufficient. Some climates may require HoofGrid HD. In those cases requiring heavy-duty grids, the extra cost per units is often offset by the decreased: foundation work (sub-base), top layer and maintenance requirements.
