Altrad Generation's Elite TrenchCross(TM) is a durable, lightweight trench crossing platform built for safe pedestrian access over open excavations on construction sites, streetworks, and civil engineering projects. Weighing only 20kg with a maximum load capacity of 1000kg, this pedestrian trench bridge gives your team a compliant and fast-to-deploy crossing solution wherever open trench access is required.
The Elite TrenchCross(TM) features a high-friction anti-slip surface that reduces slip risk in wet or uneven conditions, and integrated carry handles allow a single operative to position and move the unit without additional equipment. Elite TrenchCross hire is a practical option for mobile groundworks teams who need safe crossing solutions across multiple points along a trench run.
For a complete trench safety setup, the Elite TrenchCross(TM) works alongside Trench Guard Panels for edge protection, Steel Road Plates for vehicle access, and Ground Guards for surface stabilisation in adjacent work zones.
