Steel Pit, Drain & Trench Cover | 1.2m x 1.2m x 20mm | Australian Made
Australian-made steel pit covers, drain covers and trench covers β manufactured in Sydney and cut to your exact opening size. Whether you need a heavy-duty cover for a service pit, stormwater drain, sump, trench opening, or excavation on an active worksite, we cut to spec and deliver fast. Built to the same standard as our steel road plate range, our covers are trusted by civil, construction and infrastructure contractors across Australia.
We proudly manufacture using BlueScope mild steel as our primary material, the benchmark for structural steel in Australia, ensuring consistent grade and performance across every order.
Every cover plate is cut in-house at our Sydney laser cutting facility β no outsourcing, no third parties, just quality steel cut to your spec and ready when you need it.
Steel pit covers, drain covers and trench covers are used wherever an open ground void needs to be safely secured on a worksite or public area. Common applications include:
- π§ Service pits and maintenance pits
- π§οΈ Stormwater drains and drainage pit covers
- π³οΈ Trench and excavation openings

- π° Water and sewer inspection pits

The 20mm cover is our most popular specification β heavy enough to handle vehicle traffic and plant loading, while remaining practical to handle and position on site. Ideal for covering active pits, drains and trenches in construction zones, road works, and civil infrastructure projects where vehicle and pedestrian access is required overhead.
Need a lighter option? Our 10mm covers suit pedestrian and light vehicle applications. Need something heavier? We manufacture steel pit and drain covers up to 50mm β just ask.
Full range: 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm through to 50mm. Contact us for thicknesses outside our standard range.
