Heelguard trench grates are a specialised type of trench grate designed for high foot traffic areas, distinguishing themselves from regular trench grates with their unique pattern. This design minimises the openings on the grate's surface, making it difficult for heels or small wheels to get trapped, hence the name 'heelguard'. These grates are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, fitting seamlessly into various landscapes and urban designs.

The classes and compliance standards for heelguard trench grates are set to ensure they meet specific safety and durability requirements. These standards vary depending on the application but often include load-bearing capacities, slip resistance, and material quality. For instance, heelguard grates used in driveways or roads must comply with higher load-bearing standards than those used in pedestrian areas. This ensures the safety and longevity of the installation, regardless of where it is applied.
Civilcast Heelguard Trench Grate is slip rated to P2 and are AS3996-2019 compliant.
