TRAFFICABLE TREE GRATES
18 Jun 2014
Do your grates measure up? Load certified tree grates are giving peace of mind and saving clients $$$$ in replacement and maintenance costs.
If you are doing anything for City Council, you need Tree Grates that are classified to ensure durability and safety for the public.
At Urban+, we are one of the few companies with the certification to supply load ratings and requirements to Australian Standards AS3996:2006. Our Australian made tree grates are far more superior to the aluminium grates currently on the market. Using heavy duty laser cut steel, Urban+ tree grates are certified by structural engineers.
It’s not just about the thickness of the grate, but a combination of grate, sub frame and sub soil, which are correctly designed to achieve this certification.
There are many things to consider before purchasing a tree grate to ensure it’s going to be a worthwhile investment. The intended location, type of traffic, consistency and potential maximum size and weight will all be hindering factors.
The concern for non-rated tree grates is not only the trip hazard and potential litigation, but also being non cost-effective when having to replace cheaper alternatives that don’t last. A damaged tree grate is unsightly and can bring down the whole appearance of a streetscape.
You can take comfort in knowing Urban+'s durable trafficable tree grates will provide everlasting style to any area.
Specialising in laser cut, custom and off-set grates, our products are hard wearing, reliable and stylish. We can supply tree grates up to 20 tonne or Class F, as well as non-rated grates.
Our latest addition to the collection is our anti-slip coating to meet the needs of increasing pedestrian safety. This finish is available in a range of colours and can be used for a W rating for footpaths.
All of our grates can be made in any existing design or custom size and patterns, and can be used with new or existing trees.
