Construction Site Access: Where deep trenching creates temporary access hazards, this aluminium trench bridge offers a safe passage for operatives and engineers. It provides a stable span over excavations without compromising on mobility or setup speed.

Utility and Street Works: Ideal for telecoms, gas, and drainage contractors who need rapid deployment of trench covers in urban or residential environments. Its safety rails and anti-slip surfacing meet typical site audit requirements, reducing liability risks.

Housing & Infrastructure Projects: On developments where foot traffic must be safely routed over open works, this trench bridge offers a safe and secure solution. Its compact form also suits projects where space is at a premium or where temporary access points are rotated regularly.

Safety & Handling Features: All models feature built-in hooks for secure lifting by crane or crew, reducing injury risk during manual handling. Units can be stacked efficiently, reducing vehicle loads and allowing better management of site logistics.

Compliance & Risk Management: A well-documented installation risk assessment should always be conducted, including weight load checks, placement stability, and environmental considerations such as ice or debris. This product supports compliance with most UK site safety protocols when used as intended.
