An Introduction to HoofGrid™ equine footing and flooring grid systems
What is HoofGrid? HoofGrid™, HoofGrid-40™ and HoofGrid HD™ are the original equestrian footing & flooring grid system, German-engineered and German-Manufactured.
Please accept no substitutes.
|
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.
|
|
What can you do with HoofGrid™? Permanently solve your muddy paddocks problems.
|
||
The setup . . .
 Certified LOAD = 22.45 Tons / axle
(resistance to pressure at the surface = +35 tons/ft²)
|
The problem . . .
 No more muddy paddocks, turnouts or drylots. Ever!
|
|
How it works . . . 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).
|
||
The solution . . .
 Perfect paddocks all year round.
|
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 reinforced PE (Polyethylene). HoofGrid™ is able to withstand climate extremes from -58° to +194° Fahrenheit while remaining flexible.
|
|
 No special equipment required,
Often only a one-man-job.
|
|
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 requirements (sub-base), top layer and maintenance costs.
