Fibrelite solved the manual handling issues by designing lightweight, composite trench covers in bespoke sizes, supplied complete with aluminum aluminium frames. These larger sizes allowed for fewer panels to be used to cover the openings, reducing the overall cost of replacement, while still remaining light enough for easy and safe manual handling. Fibrelite’s composite trench covers offer the best strength to weight ratio in the industry, easily achieving the BS EN124 B125 load rating required for this application. In addition to this, Fibrelite covers come as standard with an anti-skid finish, a major consideration in a rail platform environment.
