Trackway Hire
for Film & TV
Film and television productions often take crews, vehicles and equipment into locations that weren’t designed for heavy traffic. From country estates and fields to remote outdoor sets, our aluminium trackway creates reliable temporary access while helping protect the location beneath.
Whether you’re preparing a location for a one-day shoot or supporting a longer production, we work with you to plan temporary roads, parking areas and access routes for cast, crew, suppliers and production vehicles.
You find a route, we’ll find a way.
Why film and TV productions use Trackway
Outdoor locations can quickly become difficult to manage once production traffic, heavy equipment and changing weather are added into the mix. Our trackway gives you:
- Production vehicle access – create stable routes for unit vehicles, HGVs, trailers, catering trucks, cranes and other production traffic across soft or uneven ground.
- Access to remote filming locations – reach rural, off-road and difficult-to-access locations where permanent roads are limited or unavailable.
- Ground protection – help reduce rutting and surface damage across fields, lawns, estates and other sensitive filming locations.
- All-weather reliability – maintain dependable access during wet conditions, helping reduce delays caused by mud, poor ground and changing weather.
- Temporary parking and working areas – create practical spaces for crew parking, technical vehicles, equipment and support operations close to the filming location.

Temporary Roadways
- HGV, trailer and catering truck access across soft or wet ground.
- Fast-deployment access roads for rural, off-road filming locations.
- All-weather travel routes to reduce mud-related production delays.
Our aluminium roadway panels are engineered for heavy loads, with cross-serrated surfaces for traction and a heavy-duty reverse for larger vehicles.
Temporary Pedestrian Walkways
- Safe, designated footpaths for cast, crew and VIPs.
- Anti-slip, mud-free surfaces to keep costumes and equipment clean.
- Hazard-free routes connecting basecamps directly to active sets.
By turning panels to the textured side where needed, we create safe, non-slip walking surfaces that still protect the ground underneath.
Ground Protection Trackway Systems
- Surface shielding for sensitive country estates and pristine lawns.
- Heavy load distribution for large camera rigs and lighting cranes.
- Preservation of valuable landscapes to minimise post-shoot reinstatement costs.
By distributing heavy vehicle and machinery loads evenly across a larger surface area, our load-bearing panels minimise ground pressure to prevent rutting and preserve sensitive terrain.
Temporary Site Access
- Dependable off-road access to deeply remote outdoor sets.
- Robust build platforms for technical vehicles and crew parking.
- Specialist panel delivery into tight or highly sensitive filming environments.
If your venue includes Sites of Special Scientific Interest, historic driveways or other sensitive areas, we’ll design routes that minimise impact while still giving you the access you need.
How it works
A clear, managed approach from our team of trackway experts
Free site survey
We walk the site with you, calculate your required parking capacity, map out traffic flows, and assess ground conditions, gradients, gateways, and overhead services.
Bespoke plan and quote
You receive a detailed site plan showing recommended driving lanes and parking layouts, an accurate panel count, risk assessments, method statements, and a transparent quotation.
Installation by trained crews
Our operators arrive with specialist vehicles, unload the panels, and lay each one methodically, bolting them into place and configuring surfaces where extra grip or vehicle traction is needed.
On-site flexibility
If your parking footprint needs to expand due to weather changes or altered project timelines during installation, we adapt on site and only charge for the panels actually deployed.
Removal and reinstatement
Once your hire period is complete, we return to lift the panels cleanly, remove all equipment, and hand the site back to you with minimal ground disturbance and no messy clean-ups.
