Modular covers for ducts used in spaces where easy access and high durability are required

Our Fibrelite trench covers are manufactured using the most modern injection technology, thanks to which a perfect technical product with a homogeneous, composite structure is created. Fibrelite covers were created with the main objective to eliminate the safety and health problems associated with the use of traditional, heavy steel covers.  The big advantage of them is their versatility.  Almost all sizes, load and colors can be created. Composite covers have always been seen as a more expensive alternative to traditional steel products. However, with the use of advanced Fibrelite production technology, together with the design of A15 and B125 covers with simultaneous increase in metal prices, composite covers can compete directly with cast-iron covers.

 

Covers can be used in various industries including power stations, sewage treatment plants, waterworks, ports, docks, public places such as stadiums, railway platforms, buildings etc. No other cover offers both high abrasion resistance and pressure resistance.

Light, Durable and Strong

With an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, lightweight Fibrelite trench covers are available in a range of load ratings (from 1.5 to 90 tonnes) to suit every application and every budget. Easy-to-remove by hand, safe and available in an almost limitless range of RAL colours, sizes and configurations, each cover is designed to deliver years of trouble-free service even in the harshest environments.

They are a great solution for closing large areas, channels – places where access is required.

Not All Composite Covers Are the Same

Although GRP composite covers are now increasingly preferred to the traditional metal or concrete options – not every composite cover performs to the highest standards year after year.

Fibrelite trench covers are a high-performance product created via resin transfer moulding (RTM) to create a durable, monolithic cover that you can truly fit-and-forget. What’s more, each one has been individually engineered in our own manufacturing facilities.
