920 m² machining shop with rolling surfaces, accessible to forklifts

The Initial Need

Hiolle Technologies operates a machining shop in northern France where machining centers, lathes, and saws are surrounded by a constant stream of Fenwick forklifts and pallet jacks loaded with very heavy parts. The shop’s existing concrete floor was suffering from this heavy traffic: an industrial floor capable of withstanding the loads was needed—one that could be installed without major construction work or prolonged production downtime.

The solution chosen: running boards

In July 2026, Hiolle Technologies’ teams installed 920 m² of MOSAIK INTENSE traffic plates directly on the concrete. Measuring 40 mm thick and capable of withstanding loads of up to 40 metric tons per square meter, these load-distribution panels spread the weight of forklifts and pallet jacks, protect the concrete, and provide a non-slip surface with raised dots. The plates are cut with a jigsaw to fit around the equipment. Traffic lanes are marked with a yellow paint stripe applied to the plates.
