Frequently Bought Together
Interlocking paving grid in 100% recycled PVC for permanent gravel or grass-filled HGV parking, lorry parks, car parks and yards. Each 600 x 400 x 75mm grid weighs 8kg. Manufacturer's rating: 160 tonnes GVW and 40 tonnes maximum axle weight, subject to sub-base and ground conditions.
Pro Pave is an interlocking plastic paving grid for permanent hardstanding. It is laid on a prepared sub-base and filled with gravel or soil to form a permeable surface. Each 600 x 400 x 75mm grid is made in the UK from 100% recycled PVC and is rated by the manufacturer for 160 tonnes gross vehicle weight (GVW) and a 40 tonne maximum axle weight, subject to sub-base and ground conditions.
Neighbouring grids lock together, which sets Pro Pave apart from butt-jointed cellular paving, where the units only sit side by side. The grid stabilises the infill and spreads load onto the sub-base below it, so it performs only as well as the ground preparation. Sub-base type and depth should be specified by your engineer or designer for the traffic and ground conditions.
- Size: 600 x 400 x 75mm, 8kg per grid
- Coverage: 4.17 grids per m², 120 grids per pallet
- Load rating: 160 tonnes GVW, 40 tonnes maximum axle weight (manufacturer's rating)
- Compression tests: 35 tonnes on a 300mm platen and 50 tonnes on a larger platen, without structural failure
- Material: 100% recycled PVC from UK post-industrial sources, 100% recyclable
- Surface: anti-slip, with conformity to BS 7976 stated by the manufacturer
- Infill: gravel or soil, black, stackable
Installation and infill
The grids are laid on a compacted, free-draining sub-base, for example Type 1 or Type 3. A geotextile separation layer at formation level, such as a non-woven geotextile membrane from the GT range, is usual where the ground is soft. Gravel infill gives a firm surface for parking and turning. Soil infill lets grass establish where a green finish is wanted. In both cases water drains through the open grid, giving a permeable surface rather than sealed paving.
Handling and service life
At 8kg, each grid can be positioned by one person, and the units stack for delivery and storage. The manufacturer gives a design life of 25 years, and production is carried out in accordance with ISO 9001:2015.
Typical uses
HGV and lorry parks, car parks and driveways, and verges or overrun areas where vehicles regularly park or pass over the edge, subject to site assessment. Industrial yards and loading areas are also suitable once the sub-base and expected loads have been assessed. For lighter traffic, non-interlocking cellular paving and gravel paviours are alternatives.

Is Pro Pave a ground protection mat?
No. Ground protection mats and trackway are temporary and sit on top of the existing surface. Pro Pave is a permanent paving grid, laid on a prepared sub-base and filled with gravel or soil.
Does the 160 tonne rating apply on any ground?
No. The 160 tonnes GVW and 40 tonnes axle weight figures are the manufacturer's ratings and depend on the sub-base and ground conditions. The grid spreads load onto the ground beneath it and does not strengthen poor or unprepared formation.
What sub-base does it need?
A compacted, free-draining sub-base, for example Type 1 or Type 3, with a geotextile separation layer at formation level where the ground is soft. Depth is set by your engineer or designer for the loading and ground conditions.
Should I fill it with gravel or soil?
Gravel suits parking, turning areas and yards that need a firm, free-draining surface. Soil allows grass to establish, which suits overflow parking and verges with lighter, intermittent use.
How many grids are needed for a given area?
Allow 4.17 grids per m². A 100m² area takes about 417 grids, or four pallets of 120 once cuts and edges are allowed for.
