Durability
The durability of trench grates is an important element in any trench drain installation. J.R. Hoe manufactures trench grates suitable for both pedestrian and traffic applications. 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.
