When trench grates are used in areas that will be exposed to traffic they must meet the required H-20 load rating. J.R. Hoe trench grates are manufactured in the USA to the highest quality standards. When load rating exceeds that of normal traffic, trench grates are available in ductile iron and may be engineered for superior durability.

Security

Cast iron items such as trench grates can be targeted for theft due to their scrap value, which increases the importance of trench grate security. Various solutions are offered by J.R. Hoe to increase grate retention and trench grate security. The Penta-Lok device provides excellent theft-resistance and allows easy removal for maintenance or inspection in pedestrian areas, and traffic rated trench grates may be bolted to fabricated or cast iron frame.
