These high-durability cable covers are engineered for efficient road cables protection on construction sites, highways, and utility projects. Manufactured from tough plastic and shaped with a broad hexagonal base, they help secure exposed cables and reduce pedestrian hazard around live works zones.
Each cable cover is rotationally moulded and sand ballasted for increased stability, particularly useful in high-footfall or roadside conditions. Their visibility and warning options help alert pedestrians and drivers to potential risks, serving as a physical and visual barrier.
- 1170mm height, 710mm hexagonal base – Large profile ensures coverage and clear visibility for site safety.
- Weighted at 17.2kg – Sand ballast keeps the cable cover grounded during wind or light impact.
- Available in 3 variants – Plain, “Danger High Voltage” band, or directional arrow for lane control.
- Stackable and modular – Easy storage and rapid transport to site with minimal effort.
- Rapid hazard marking – Essential for emergency response or planned works involving road cable cover deployment.
Whether marking out power lines or telecom cable trenches, this product gives contractors a dependable solution for covering critical site infrastructure. The bright yellow colour improves visual detection both day and night, helping reduce public liability. The covers are reusable and easy to clean between deployments.

This cable cover plays a vital role in keeping both workers and the public safe from exposed or vulnerable utility cables during active construction works. The high-profile structure combined with durable plastic shell makes it ideal for temporary infrastructure installations that need prominent warning signals. By creating a physical obstruction, the cover prevents accidental tripping, crossing, or vehicle interference with surface-laid cables.
The modular design ensures it can be moved, stacked, and rapidly redeployed across multiple job sites. Municipal crews, civil engineers, and utility maintenance providers frequently utilise these covers when handling outdoor electrics, road fibre installations, or pipe-laying operations.
Use in combination with HERMEQ’s road plates and traffic cones to build fully compliant work zones that minimise operational risk. With increasing attention on roadside safety and pedestrian hazard reduction, these cable covers provide an essential protective barrier and warning aid for any live-cable scenario.
