Ergonomic trench covers
Fibrelite’s composite trench covers have recently been installed at a leading Premier League Stadium to replace damaged steel covers caused by heavy vehicles requiring frequent access for concerts.
The maintenance team at the Stadium also wanted to solve the manual handling and safety issues which were associated with the cumbersome steel covers previously in use, and required lightweight composite trench covers offering the best strength to weight ratio.
Fibrelite’s trench covers are proven to be ergonomically safe for men and women to remove and replace. The design incorporates two lifting points that allow operators to remove the cover without trapping fingers or bending over. The weight is kept close to the body preventing back injury.
With many lengths, widths and depths of trench covers available together with the option of UV stable colours, cover markings and customisation; Fibrelite trench covers are extremely versatile. All covers are BS EN 124 load rated, from A15 (1.5 tonne, pedestrian traffic) to E600 (60 tonne).
