Exterior cable protectors are vital to ensure you follow the Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice. The products in our range of outdoor cable covers are designed and tested to ensure that they meet the required safety standards, including for fire resistance. They are made from high-quality materials such as rubber elastomer, which can withstand heavy loads, as well as having flexibility.

Road Surface cable protectors

When works require cables to be laid temporarily on the road surface, a Heavy Duty Cable Protector has the advantage of making it smoother for vehicles to drive across them, as well as keeping the cables safe. Our cable protectors are manufactured to be able to tolerate different loads. It is important to know what traffic loads will be travelling through the area concerned before you choose the cable covers for your event or work.

Lightweight loads

Where loads are not going to be heavy, you can opt for a more lightweight solution. This is particularly suitable where there will be primarily pedestrians, with very few vehicles crossing. Ramp covers work well in these areas as well as on roads, as they make it easier for pushchairs and wheelchairs to get across cables. Our Highly Visible Anti-Slip Outdoor Rubber Cable Protector works well either indoors or outside, and you can simply clip on more parts to extend the cover. The tread on the surface means that it is not slippery even when wet, and its yellow colouring makes it easy to spot at a distance, giving pedestrians and drivers plenty of warning before they cross it.

Heavyweight loads

For larger hoses, we recommend the Hose Protection Ramp. This is ideal for use in garages, construction sites and fire stations. It is a twin channel hose ramp, with a ribbed surface for extra grip, and it can sustain up to 44 tonnes of weight from a moving vehicle. This product has a secure linking feature, so you can easily create an extended cover by joining additional units to it.

Protection for Traffic Signals

An example of a situation where cable protectors are needed is during temporary traffic signals or road works, when electrical cables have to be positioned on the road – for example, to supply power to temporary traffic lights or other equipment. In order to avoid accidents, and to protect the cables from the elements, use our specialist Heavy Duty Cable/Hose Protector. The protector comes with a Department of Transport certification and conforms to BS476 Part 7, Class 3 regulations, so you can be assured of its quality. It is made from materials that are UV stabilised to make it suitable for prolonged periods of use outdoors.

Low-speed vehicles

If you have areas where it is important to reduce the speed of the traffic passing through, the Traffic Calming Cable Protectors are ideal. They are available in a choice of three heights, to accommodate different sizes of cables. For your convenience, you can cut the Traffic Calming Cable Protectors to the required length for your job. This cable protector features a bright yellow stripe along the length, which makes it more obvious in the road and warns drivers to reduce their speed. The colours are designed for extensive use, so they will not fade quickly even when used outdoors for long periods. The bright colours are important to alert drivers and pedestrians that a cable cover is ahead. This gives drivers a chance to slow down to travel more safely through the works, and it warns pedestrians to tread carefully.
