Weber South Pacific’s trafficable cable pits are suitable for a wide range of applications from the smallest cable access point to large HV pits and culverts under padmounted transformers. Sizes range from 250mm x 250mm to 4,400mm x 2,200mm with depths varying up to 3,000mm.
Pits are manufactured using 100% recycled modified polycarbonate. They can be delivered to site complete or in pieces for ease of handling. Where site access for heavy lifting equipment is difficult on site assembly can carried out by two people. Lid options using composites rather than cast iron assists this process.
The modular system includes a wide range of sizes for trafficable applications similar to class E to AS3996. While this standard sets the criteria for pit lids only, Weber’s partner Langmatz has had the pit range tested to ensure it is fit for purpose without further bracing or reinforcement.
The German civil engineering organisation DiBT has independently confirmed the suitability of these products for trafficable applications.
Locking
