Anyone seen or used these before?

They obviously wouldnt be as strong as proper waffle boards but for a get me out of the Sh*t easy to store solution are they worth a punt

Might be worth a punt for £20 - not sure how long they would last though?

Im awaiting delivery of 5 tonnes of heavy duty plastic conveyor belt tracks that are being ripped out of a canning line pasteuriser, I was going to use them as temporary roads in fields, I wonder if they could be used as waffle boards? They are about 1 inch thick honeycomb pattern plastic.

Seen them in use on caravan sites for pulling stuck 'vans off flat grass!

Crap, as it goes, too narrow, not grippy enough, flimsy, and distinctly not robust enough for Land rovers ...

They sell loads of 'em .. I might be wrong, but the ones I've seen aren't worth £2 ..

How grippy is blow-moulded plastic?
How grippy is blow-moulded plastice with water/mud/snow on it?
How strong is blow-moulded plastic?
How heavy are land rovers?

I wouldn't buy them for a Land rover .. I might buy 'em as a stocking filler for our lass' Mondeo so she has 'something' .. but honestly they're crap!! A dry sack, or sacks, is better!

These serve a completely different purpose to waffle boards, these are no good for off road or even green lane use.

Yes fine for snow and ice on a surfaced road, but that is about it.

Still does not make them an alternative to waffle boards, about as effective as hesian sacks.

Don't confuse sand ladders with Waffle Boards either, sand ladders are off very little use in the UK unless you are stuck on beach.
