High Load Ratings
Our trench grates for highways are engineered to support the high stress induced by heavy delivery vehicle traffic, which is why you can count on them to be incredibly durable. These heavy-duty grates — built to accommodate the rigorous demands of highways and roads — must prevent damage to the underlying trench drain systems.
The integrity of these systems is vital, as they are continuously subjected to the immense weight and frequent passage of large vehicles. Ensuring that these grates have sufficient load ratings is imperative to maintain their function and structural soundness over time and serve highway drainage for years to come.
Effective Runoff Prevention
The primary function of trench grates on highways is to manage surface water effectively by channeling it into trench drain systems. These systems, designed to handle significant volumes of water, rely on grates that cover the trench while allowing water to pass through into the trench drain.
Properly sized and strategically placed grates capture runoff from rain, preventing accumulation on the surface area of roads. This design is key for making the road safe — especially during storms — as it helps to keep the highways clear of water hazards that can impair driving conditions or damage road infrastructure.
Low Maintenance
Choosing our low-maintenance trench grates for use on highways offers substantial benefits when it comes to cost and labor efficiency. Trench grates that demand less frequent servicing help reduce the operational costs needed for ongoing maintenance.
These grates are made with high-quality materials and are designed to withstand the test of time and harsh environmental conditions without compromising performance. The durability of these grates ensures they remain effective with minimal upkeep, which is vital for their continuous use in busy highway environments where performing maintenance may be difficult.
Better Drainage for Paved Areas
While rainwater is normally absorbed into the soil, this naturally can’t happen on highways. As such, trench grates serve as essential components in the design of highway drainage systems. By facilitating the flow of water into the trench drain, these grates help maintain optimal driving conditions and reduce the risk of accidents caused by slippery surfaces. The strategic placement and careful consideration of the depth and size of the trench ensure that water is quickly diverted away from parking areas.
