Trench Covers, Trench Plates & Pedestrian Walk Boards
Trench Plates & Pedestrian Walk Boards
Trench Covers are an important part of safe roadworks. Often Trenches have to be dug and left open which presents a hazard to pedestrians and potentially motorists also. Traditionally steel plates can be used though these are costly, difficult to work with and expensive to transport. We offer GRP Trench Covers and HDP covers to suit all pedestrian trench cover requirements. All of the Pedestrian Covers we offer are high-visibility and anti-slip design.

Applications For Pedestrian Walk Boards
