Safe Cover Trench Cover - 800mm x 1200mm

Lightweight Composite Trench Cover for Pedestrian & Light Vehicle Access 

The Safe Cover Trench Cover 8×12 provides a safe, durable and easy-to-install solution for covering excavations during street works, construction and utility projects. Designed to keep footpaths and access routes open, this lightweight composite trench cover offers a practical alternative to heavy steel plates while maintaining excellent strength and durability.

Manufactured from a single piece of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), the cover is both strong and lightweight, allowing quick installation by hand without the need for specialist lifting equipment. Its anti-slip surface and low-profile design help reduce trip hazards while providing safe passage for pedestrians and light vehicles.

The 8×12 Safe Cover is suitable for bridging trenches up to 700mm wide, making it ideal for footways, driveways and temporary access routes on busy worksites.
