Fibrelite: The one-stop-shop for trench covers

Fibrelite’s trench panels have a standard width of 450mm, with lengths ranging from 800 to 1600mm. With lengths increasing in 50mm increments (800, 850, 900mm and so on) the customer found that all requirements for different load ratings and sizes could be catered for by Fibrelite. For this project B125, C250 and D400 panels were all used in lengths of 800, 1000, 1400 and 1600mm.
