Elite TrenchCross™

Elite TrenchCross™

Altrad Generation's Elite TrenchCross™ is a durable and lightweight trench crossing solution designed to ensure safe pedestrian access across open excavations. Weighing only 20kg, this platform is easy to handle and install on-site while offering a maximum load capacity of 1000kg, making it suitable for foot traffic and light equipment. Constructed with a high-friction, anti-slip surface, it minimises slip risks in wet or uneven conditions. It is ideal for use in construction zones, utility trenches, and civil engineering works where maintaining site safety and uninterrupted movement is critical.

The compact design enables rapid deployment by one person, with built-in handles for easy manual handling. For full compliance, it works seamlessly alongside our Trench Guard Panels for edge protection, Steel Road Plates for vehicle access, and Ground Guards for stabilising footpaths and work zones.
