The Altrad Generation Trenchlink 500 Max Plate is an interlocking ductile iron mini road plate for temporary trench coverage, designed to cover trenches up to 500mm wide and allow immediate, safe passage to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. At 26kg per plate, the Trenchlink 500 is manageable for site teams to place and retrieve by hand, making it practical for rapid deployment and daily removal cycles.
A tongue and grab coupling locks adjacent plates securely together in one direction, holding the system firmly in place without additional anchoring during active site operations. The permanent integrated skid-resistant surface provides consistent grip for pedestrians and vehicles in all weather conditions, and the plates remove quickly for permanent trench reinstatement.
Trenchlink 500 Max Plates are available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.
