Stainless Steel
The HDS Series Heavy-Duty Vehicular expansion joint covers with stainless steel cover plates are designed for heavy‑duty vehicular applications. Incorporated gasket seals reduce traffic noise and vibration in vehicular aplications. They can accept heavier traffic (subject to the load and the span), such as EWPs, and regular vehicular traffic, such as cars and vans. For more load information, contact Latham Australia who can supply point loads to suit various traffic loads and wheel sizes.
