Unlike metal trench plates, this composite alternative provides the same load support with a fraction of the weight—eliminating the need for lifting equipment or fixings. The 27.6in trench span supports up to 3,527 lbs, making it ideal for drive-over and access scenarios where vehicles or carts frequently pass.
Its anti-slip surface increases worker and pedestrian confidence in poor weather. No bolting means minimal disruption to road surfaces, making it suitable for temporary reinstatement works or fast-response projects. Built to BS 7976 standards, it satisfies industry expectations for stability and public safety.
Crews operating in tight areas or during night works appreciate its rapid deployment and bright yellow color. The cover’s low profile ensures accessibility for wheeled equipment while offering excellent edge visibility. It’s equally effective in telecom access, drainage upgrades, and public works where excavation areas must be covered fast but securely.
