04 / The practical details
Questions about custom steel cattle stops and access grids.
Can you build one for tractors and heavy trucks?
Yes. Matt has extensive experience with rated fabrication and can build the grid for the specified traffic. Send vehicle and axle loads along with the support design so the complete crossing and required verification can be agreed.
Can you replace a grid over an existing pit?
Yes. We can make a replacement around the measured pit and suitable supports. The condition and capacity of those supports are checked alongside the new grid design, particularly if heavier vehicles now use the crossing.
Can the grid lift out for cleaning?
Yes. Removable sections and handling points can be included in the design. Tell Matt how you will clear the pit and what lifting equipment is available so the section size and handling arrangement suit maintenance.
What needs to be ready before it is installed?
The support levels, foundations, drainage and approach must match the agreed design. Send the site drawings and contractor details early so the metal frame, fixing positions and installation sequence can be coordinated.
