Product Features and Advantages

 

Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity
• Heavy Vehicle Rated: Designed for H20 and H25 vehicle loading, heavy forklifts, and industrial machinery according to AASHTO and BS EN 124 standards.
• Customizable Specs: Bearing bar depths from 20mm to 100mm and thicknesses from 3mm to 8mm match any structural trench span.
• Zero Deformation: Robust structural matrix ensures long service life under continuous dynamic traffic impact.

 

Robust Resistance Welded Structure
• High Shear Resistance: Bearing bars and cross bars are fused under high voltage electro-forging, meeting ANSI / NAAMM MBG 531 standards.
• Vibration Resistant: Unified rigid structure prevents rattle, loosening, or permanent displacement over years of heavy use.
• Low Maintenance: Engineered for decades of worry-free industrial operation.

 

High-Efficiency Drainage & Ventilation
• Up to 80% Open Area: Maximizes rapid surface water and stormwater runoff during storm events or heavy washdowns.
• Anti-Clogging Design: Open mesh layout minimizes dirt, debris, and leaf accumulation.
• Enhanced Airflow: Excellent choice for underground utility channels and pit covers requiring continuous ventilation.

 

Anti-Slip Surface for High-Risk Areas
• Serrated Bar Design: Deep-notched bearing bars provide maximum traction in wet, oily, chemical, or icy environments.
• OSHA Compliance: Significantly reduces slip-and-fall risks for factory personnel and pedestrians.

 

Long-Lasting Corrosion Protection
• Heavy Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Exceeds ISO 1461 and ASTM A123 standards with an average zinc coating weight equal to or greater than 610 g/m2 (85 um).
• Harsh Environment Tested: Ideal for coastal marine facilities, chemical processing plants, and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

 

 

Product Types & Applications

 

Plain Welded Cover: Features a smooth surface ideal for standard municipal drainage, walkways, and commercial facilities. (Best For: Sidewalk drainage, commercial plazas, indoor parking areas)

 

Serrated Anti-Slip Cover: Designed with notched bearing bars for maximum anti-slip performance in wet or oily areas. (Best For: Chemical processing plants, offshore platforms, oil refineries, food processing facilities)
 

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Cover: Reinforced structural design engineered to withstand severe wheel loads from trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery. (Best For: Highways, logistics hubs, airports, container ports, warehouses)

FAQ

 

Q: How do I select the correct bearing bar size for my trench span?

A: Selection depends on three primary factors: Clear Trench Span, Load Type (Pedestrian, Light Vehicle, Heavy Truck, or Forklift), and Allowable Deflection. Send us your trench span and load requirements, and our engineering team will provide free structural load calculations within 24 hours.

Q: What is your standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and Lead Time?

A: MOQ: Flexible MOQ starting at 50 square meters or 1 standard bundle for stock specifications.
Lead Time: Standard orders are shipped within 15 to 20 days after deposit approval and CAD drawing sign-off.

Q: What is the standard zinc coating thickness for hot-dip galvanized covers?

A: Our standard hot-dip galvanizing complies strictly with ISO 1461 and ASTM A123, achieving a minimum average zinc coating thickness of 85 um (equal to or greater than 610 g/m2), ensuring a 20 to 50-year service life depending on environmental conditions.

Q:  Can you supply complete supporting angle frames and accessories?

A: Yes, we supply complete trench cover systems including embedded angle iron frames, anchor lugs, locking mechanisms, and grating fastener clips for quick field installation.

Q: Do you accept third-party quality inspection before shipment?

A: Absolutely. We regularly accommodate third-party inspection agencies such as SGS, TUV, or BV to inspect dimensions, welding quality, coating thickness, and loading capacity at our factory prior to dispatch.
