Cable and Hose Ramps
- HR3, interlocking solid rubber ramps, solve the problem of how to protect large cables from traffic and allow all types and weights to drive over safely. The ramps simply sit on the road surface slowing down all the traffic as they pass over them. Each section snaps into each other using “jigsaw” designed connectors, the male plug snaps securely into the female socket. There are two connectors on each side of the ramp so you can assemble a ramp to any length.
- it is an important safety feature to have a critical mass using 3 or more sections of HR3 or HR5 to make a stable Cable and Hose Ramp. In some cases it is not necessary to cover the complete roadway, small sections of assembled ramps (3 or more) can be laid inline with the wheels of the oncoming traffic. It is important to use warning signs to warn and make oncoming drivers aware of the hazard.
- each section of the HR3 or HR5 Cable and Hose Ramp has two slots. The standard has 90mm slots and the larger model has 125mm slots. There is also a choice when installing the ramp sections; standard has slots facing upwards or for pedestrian traffic, slots facing down. For temporary use in a supervised situation Cable and Hose Ramp sections interlock together so they can be simply laid on to the road surface.
- anchor bolts work in all surfaces, asphalt, concrete or blocks. There’s no marking out, you just drill through the holes in the galvanised fixing plate, hammer the nylon plug in place and tighten the bolts. Security collars are available if you want to make the installed Cable and Hose Ramp tamper proof.
- Modular Speed Ramps (MSR), paired black and yellow rubber sections have a small slot 60mm x 30mm. They must be bolted securely in place for an installation that will protect cables and slow down traffic safely.
Questions and Answers
My cable is 50mm in diameter, which cable ramp do I use?
HR3 moulded interlocking sections will take two hoses up to 75mm each.
Can I just lay the HR3 Cable Ramp on the road surface?
Yes, but it takes a critical mass of at least 3 units to be stable.
