Plastic Trench Cover

The HERMEQ Plastic Trench Cover is a next-generation solution for bridging open footpath excavations, service channels or ducting zones. Designed for rapid deployment and high pedestrian safety, it combines HDPE structure with internal steel reinforcement to handle up to 400kg loading.

Weighing just 17kg, it can be installed by a single person using built-in carry handles. Its compact profile measures 1200mm x 800mm x 40mm and features four corner fixing holes for semi-permanent installation. Anti-slip surface and trip-resistant edges further enhance safety during public or on-site use.

• 400kg load capacity – Complies with industry standards for footpath trench boards.
• Steel core reinforcement – Enhances internal strength without compromising lift weight.
• Quick fit system – Can be bolted via 4 integrated fixing points.
• Bright yellow colour – Improves visibility for pedestrians and vehicles.
• 100% recyclable – Manufactured from virgin HDPE and steel for sustainable sourcing.

This plastic trench cover provides essential access control and public safety over street-level excavations, cable trenches or utility service routes. With increased awareness around site safety, contractors must select trench boards that are both strong and easy to deploy — this product meets both demands effortlessly.

The built-in steel bars enhance load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for pedestrian walkways in urban and civil engineering environments. The anti-slip patterned surface keeps foot traffic secure in wet or dusty conditions, and anti-trip bevels make it compliant with public access standards.

Where long-term setups are required, the cover can be bolted down using four corner fixing points to prevent displacement or theft. Its bright yellow finish boosts awareness even in low-light conditions. Weighing under 20kg, it supports fast-paced maintenance operations without the need for mechanical handling equipment.

Ideal for water, gas, power or telecom service access, this cover also sees use in local authority infrastructure projects where temporary trench boards are vital to site safety. Supplied as standard in high-vis yellow, it may also be ordered in custom colours (minimum quantity applies), with optional corporate embossing for branding consistency.
