TRASH GATE ACCESSORIES
Trash Gates are reinforced rod assemblies which attach to the headwall structures to control
debris on inlet headwalls; available for Series 3, 4 and 5 standard and weir headwalls.
Also available in vertical, municipal, and beaver rod configurations to offer performance
requirements in different environments.
All vertical members of the trash gates are pultruded composite reinforced
polymer concrete rod 1.5" diameter. These rods have approximately the same load
to failure resistance as 20mm diameter steel rod, the added benefit is that they have
memory and will always spring back after impact as opposed to permanent bending
of the steel rod which is more common on traditional headwalls.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Class 1 FIRE RETARDANT pultruded rod, tubing and polymer concrete are combined
resulting in a proprietary process to fabricate the structural design profile of the Trash
Gates.
The material exhibits chemical resistance with high mechanical and electrical
properties. The mechanical properties are further enhanced by the incorporation of
proprietary polymer concrete into the tubing profile. The result is an integral gridwork
that is exceptionally strong with high load bearing and impact strength capabilities.
All hinge hardware is non-corrosive UHMW c/w stainless steel fasteners and inserts.
The resulting product would be very hard on beaver teeth due to the abrasive polymer
concrete incorporated in the tubing supports. Low maintenance is a result of all
components exhibiting superior physical and chemical properties.
**Custom trash gates or stainless steel and composite locking mechanisms available
upon request. Colour coated in safety or hazard designated colours available on
request.
