Why it works

Heavy-duty enough to drive over

Heavy-duty load capacity

Carries up to 4000kg with over 1-tonne of spot-loaded weight, so it takes vehicle and pedestrian traffic over the trench.

Anti-trip bevelled edges

Smooth, gradual edges reduce trip risk for pedestrians and workers crossing the board.

Grip in all weather

A textured anti-slip surface grips footwear and tyres in wet and dry conditions alike.

Secure bolt-down fitting

Four fixing holes let you bolt the board down for long-term or high-traffic installations.

100% recyclable HDPE

Blow-moulded from durable, fully recyclable HDPE, with replaceable recycled-PVC corner pieces.
