The trench crossing plate is a reliable solution for securing passage over temporary openings. This device effectively limits the risk of slipping, reduces the possibility of pedestrians falling, and can be installed without heavy equipment.

Installation is quick with integrated joints. There is no need to bolt the plates together.

For large crossing plates only: pins automatically deploy under the plates to prevent movement over trenches without the need to bolt each plate. All parts are replaceable. Easilift handles can be ordered to facilitate manual handling.

Its robust design ensures excellent durability, even under heavy use. It is commonly used on construction, earthworks and roadworks sites, as well as for network-related works.

The non-slip surface ensures a high level of safety for users and site teams alike, while contributing to a quieter worksite.

The central section is made from a fibreglass-reinforced composite material, offering excellent impact resistance. Patented Flexi-Edge technology reinforces edge protection and improves product longevity. Suitable for crossing trenches up to 1200 mm wide depending on the model, these plates are a durable and effective solution for maintaining safe access.

FAQ

Is lifting equipment required for installation?

No. The plates are light enough to be installed manually by one or two people. No heavy lifting equipment is required, which reduces costs, delays and risks associated with handling.

Are the slabs safe for pedestrians?

Yes. They feature a patented non-slip surface and integrated ramped edges for smooth and safe crossing. These features reduce the risk of falls and ensure compliant access for all users.

Can they withstand vehicle traffic?

Yes. Depending on the model and application, the plates can withstand: Pedestrian traffic, Light vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, Heavy traffic up to 44 tonnes on roadways.

What trench widths can they cover?

The plates allow trenches up to 1,200 mm wide to be crossed, depending on the configuration and model used.

Do the plates generate noise when vehicles pass over them?

No, or very little. Their stable and silent design limits vibrations and greatly reduces noise pollution, which helps to reduce noise complaints in urban areas.
