Kidsafe grate pits are ideal for all areas where stormwater pits and gully traps are needed, from garages, basements and roads to pools and driveways.
Kidsafe grate pits reduce the risk of accidents that can occur with metal grates. With metal grates, sharp metal edges can cause deep cuts, bike tyres can get caught, high heeled shoes can get stuck, and dropped keys can be lost forever. The risk of injury is also heightened for children who are more likely to fall over and land on the grate with open hands. When this happens, fingers can become stuck and knees can get cut.
Children are less aware of what they should avoid in order to prevent injury, and are rarely aware that the grate could be considered dangerous. Kidsafe grate pits are designed to minimise this risk to children. For added safety and security, the lids are lockable and heel proof.
Made from durable anti-shock PVC, the grates have a raised non-slip walking surface and self extinguishing characteristics. This means the PVC is not flammable. It is also resistant to all kinds of weather, ice, chemical and atmospheric agents.
Halgan’s kidsafe grates come in a range of sizes and load bearing capacities, making them compatible with the wide range of stormwater and electrical pits stocked by Halgan.
