HoofGrid

The most successful soil stabilization system in Europe, HoofGrid, is now available to the American equine, livestock and agricultural markets. HoofGrid is made of 100% recycled post-consumer polyethylene (PE) which provides long-term strength, flexibility, and durability. This smart, environmentally-friendly all season surface allows for swift water drainage, easy droppings removal, and a high degree of safety and comfort for animals and owners alike.

Thanks to the open cells of the HoofGrid system, excess water is swiftly drained and their shape and height prevent soil compaction in the tread layer. The space inside the individual cells serves to preserve moisture and thus protects the ground from drying-out. Paddocks and open stables are kept free from mud and puddles. Riding arenas may be used as required even during the wetter seasons.

HoofGrid also boasts a maximum load capacity of 35 tons per square foot, which easily supports the direct load of a hoof. This ensures a high degree of safety and stability in all areas of application. This amounts to a reduction in both maintenance costs and daily cleaning efforts. Animal droppings are easily removed from the surface of the grid using shovels or tractors, while animals remain cleaner and require less washing due to mud/water reduction.

HoofGrid‘s elasticity promotes natural horse movement. Thanks to its high degree of elasticity and good grip, it offers the horse a reliable ground surface. The extreme impact loads from horses’ hooves are especially absorbed by HoofGrid. The elastic bars of HoofGrid always resume their original shape, are crack-proof, and withstand frost (max. -65°C), as well as extreme heat.
