65 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • MAY 2018 EQUIPMENT The patented Flexi-edge system Pedestrian Trench Covers are designed to reduce trip hazards and unwanted product movement, enabling customers in a range of industries to implement safe, efficient workplaces and traffic zones. Troy Clauss, Manager of Traffic Products at Kennards Hire, said thanks to increased loading and innovative design Pedestrian Trench Covers are incredibly stable without bolting, helping to reduce installation time and the costs of reinstatement. “While installation isn’t required in most cases, Pedestrian Trench Covers can be fixed in place if site conditions are poor,” Troy said. “A patented Flexi-edge system helps minimise unwanted movement, greatly reducing trip hazards for pedestrians. The central section of the Pedestrian Trench Cover is glass reinforced composite. Making worksites safer for pedestrians with trench covers Glass reinforced composite Pedestrian Trench Covers capable of covering a 900mm trench for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and 1200mm for weights up to 400kg have been added to Kennards Hire’s traffic product range. “While heavier than traditional trench covers due to the PVC anti-slip edge and higher load rating, the Pedestrian Trench Covers are much lighter than steel plates, making them easier to manoeuvre and transport for driveway applications. “Kennards Hire continually strives to expand its collection of traffic management products and offering access to safe and innovative products is something we greatly value," Troy said. “The Pedestrian Trench Covers have helped to improve the efficiency of traffic management, making roadwork zones and construction sites significantly safer for both workers, pedestrians, and motorists. “When hiring through the Kennards Hire network, customers will have complete access to our traffic control and management service. Our highly trained and experienced traffic control professionals also help deliver and set up equipment according to the necessary safety regulations.” Visit: www.kennards.com.au or in NZ: www.kennardshire.co.nz The Pedestrian Trench Covers are incredibly stable without bolting Call now for your nearest dealer. 1300 582 582 | kubota.com.au Visit us at Hire18 May 30-31st, 2018 at Stand 37/38.
