This trench cover serves as a critical pedestrian access solution in fast-paced construction environments. Whether you're managing civil engineering projects, utility repairs or groundwork excavation, ensuring safe movement across trenches is essential. The HERMEQ trench bridge offers just that — safety, stability and compliance in one.
Its anti-slip aluminium platform is ideal for wet or uneven terrains where conventional walkways fail. It helps prevent accidents by maintaining secure footing across all weather conditions. The galvanised frame resists corrosion and wear from site exposure, ensuring long-term usability even on high-traffic sites.
Easy to deploy with minimal labour, this trench bridge is a favoured option among site managers prioritising speed and safety. Fold-down handles streamline storage, while reflective rails signal presence during low visibility operations. Multiple width and length configurations are available, making it adaptable for tight urban worksites or larger rural trenches.
When installed correctly, it provides essential accessibility for diverse user groups — particularly important on public infrastructure works where inclusive access compliance is critical. For projects where safety credentials and fast deployment are non-negotiable, this trench cover ticks every box.
