Temporary Walkway Hire
Safe, accessible temporary walkways for events, construction sites, and public spaces. Non-slip surfaces, wheelchair-friendly, and quick to install anywhere in the UK.
Temporary walkways are the unsung heroes of event sites and construction projects. They keep crowds moving safely, protect sensitive ground from foot traffic, and ensure wheelchair users can access every part of your site. Without them, grass turns to mud, queues tangle, and accessibility becomes an afterthought rather than a given.
GT Trax supplies three temporary walkway systems: WalkOvers for high-traffic pedestrian routes, LuxTrax for premium hospitality flooring, and LiteTrax GridMat for lightweight grass pathways. All modular, all non-slip, all wheelchair-accessible. Delivered and installed anywhere in the UK.
How much does walkway hire cost?
Walkway hire is priced by area. Here is what determines the quote.
Length and width
The main factor. A typical crowd route might be 100-200 metres long. Wider walkways for high-traffic areas need more panels. Volume pricing applies for larger areas.
Hire duration
Weekend events are most common; construction projects may need walkways for weeks or months. Longer hires get better daily rates.
Delivery and install
Distance from our Cambridgeshire base and whether you need our crew to lay the walkway. Modular panels are quick to install if your team handles it.

Frequently asked questions
What types of temporary walkway do you offer?
We offer WalkOvers (slip-resistant panels for pedestrian routes and event crowds), LuxTrax (premium interlocking tiles for marquees and hospitality), and LiteTrax GridMat (lightweight grid mats for pathways on grass). All wheelchair-accessible, non-slip, and quick to install. Available for hire nationwide.
Are your walkways suitable for wheelchair access?
Yes. All our temporary walkway systems are wheelchair-accessible, with anti-slip surfaces and edging ramps for smooth transitions. Compliant with event accessibility requirements and the Equality Act. We take accessibility seriously — every visitor should be able to navigate your site safely.
How much does temporary walkway hire cost?
Walkway hire is priced by area covered, with lower per-unit rates for larger installations. The main factors are the length and width of walkway needed, product type, hire duration, and delivery distance. A typical event crowd route might need 100-200 metres. Call us with your site layout for a project-specific quote.
Can temporary walkways be used on grass?
Absolutely. WalkOvers and LiteTrax are designed specifically as grass protection walkways. They preserve lawns, parks, and sports fields even under heavy foot traffic while maintaining safe walking routes. The interlocking design spreads weight evenly — no dead patches, no worn paths.
How quickly can you install a temporary walkway?
Modular click-together panels go down fast — a crew can lay hundreds of metres in a day. No specialist tools required. Equally quick to lift when your event or project is over. For time-critical event builds, this speed is invaluable.
