Matching the Cover to the Traffic
Start with who or what will cross and the width of the trench. The pedestrian trench cover is marked not for use in the roadway, so where vehicles also need to cross, choose the 3.5 tonne cover.
| Cover | Size | Rated for | Covers openings up to | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pedestrian trench cover | 1125 x 1125mm, 17mm thick | Pedestrian use, 1.6t maximum load; not for use in the roadway | 700mm | 24kg |
| Pedestrian and 3.5T vehicle trench cover | 1000 x 1500mm, 37mm thick | Pedestrians, wheelchairs and vehicles up to 3.5t | 900mm | 38kg |
| TrenchGuard trench cover | 1400 x 800mm, 50mm core | 500kg per wheel; high volume pedestrian traffic | Ask us | 18kg |
| Temporary lightweight anti-slip trench cover | 1200 x 800mm or 1600 x 1200mm | Designed primarily for road repairs | Ask us | Ask us |
The pedestrian cover is hi-vis and compact, and one person can lift and install it. The 3.5 tonne cover is yellow and black and installs with two people.
Interlocking TrenchGuard Panels
TrenchGuard is a composite trench cover system with a steel reinforced honeycomb structure. Panels clip together with interlocking flange joints, so you can extend the covered area along a longer excavation. The anti-slip tread gives grip for feet and wheels, and the bright yellow finish with reflective strips keeps the cover visible by day and night. At 18kg a panel, it is lightweight and easy to handle.
Fixing Covers in Place
The temporary lightweight anti-slip cover is moulded from a single piece of glass-reinforced composite. Fix it with special adhesive or steel pins driven into the road or ground so it cannot slip and stays secure for as long as needed. The pedestrian trench cover uses a Flexi-Edge system that does not need bolting down, reducing trip hazards and installation time.
Kerb Ramps and Footway Diversions
The Safekerb and Supagrip SafeKerb wheelchair ramps are also listed here. Both are 110mm high, one-person lifts and listed for kerbs between 60mm and 160mm; see ramps and bumps for the full comparison. For a complete diversion, add safety walkways, pedestrian barriers or ground matting for soft ground.
