Composite demand
20 October 2014
International manufacturer Fibrelite has had an increase in enquiries for its lightweight composite access covers from industries keen to move away from traditionally used metal and concrete to composites (a future material).

According to Fibrelite, industries favour composites over traditional materials as they react to changing regulations, strict health and safety policies and concerns with whole life cost.
The design of the Fibrelite covers incorporates up to two lifting points for specially designed lifting handles that allow the operator to remove the cover without trapping fingers or bending over.
In response to customer demand, any style logo or other marking can be permanently moulded into the upper surface of the cover in single or multiple colours. Fibrelite can mould its composite covers in nearly any colour or combination of colours.
Upon request, Fibrelite can provide bespoke and custom trench covering solutions.
