Tuff Trench is a trench cover for Temporary Access across apertures, bores or trenches.
Tuff Trench was the UK’s first blow moulded trench cover on the market, it has been invented and manufactured in the UK with utility and highway contractors in mind.
The Tuff Trench is made from 100% virgin material and 100% recyclable, not only is it environmentally friendly but it is far more cost-effective compared to alternative materials like plywood that can fail to deal with the everyday rigorous purpose.
At just over 1 metre long, it is a compact solution to temporarily cover excavations and allow pedestrians to cross without interrupting the site project. It is easily man-handled and lifted by one person due to the inbuilt handles and needs to be fixed to the ground to maintain sturdiness.
