For contractors and site managers who require efficient pedestrian crossing over trenches, the HERMEQ railed trench bridge is a proven trench cover that meets safety, portability and performance demands. Its durable aluminium construction offers long-term resistance to weather and site wear, making it ideal for short or extended deployments.
Unlike fixed walkways, this trench bridge folds easily, allowing it to be reused across phases or sites. The reflective handrails add crucial visibility where traffic or equipment operate nearby, reducing risks. The aluminium checker plate is engineered to perform under wet, muddy or debris-laden surfaces without compromising grip or foot stability.
Designed for real-world job sites, it’s adaptable for local authorities, contractors and utility teams. Whether spanning narrow service cuts or broader canal exposures, its width options and portable nature make it a versatile tool for civil engineering, telecom, water or road maintenance sectors.
It excels in environments where maintaining uninterrupted pedestrian flow is essential during active works. From high-street upgrades to rural trenching works, this trench cover addresses both safety compliance and practical convenience.
