Sanral Median Grid for U- Channel DISCONTINUED

Although this is a SANRAL specification precast concrete grid, it is not a good product. When a vehicle wheel drives onto this Median Grid, it moves. The results are breakages and grids that are dangerously out of position. This is irrespective of which company manufactured the grids. More ...

Vanstone discontinued the mass manufacture of the Median Grids. To help cover large numbers of  breakages along the roads, Vanstone will keep a few in stock for spares.
Size: 370mm wide x 85mm deep x 600mm (module) long
Mass: 35kg each
Static test load (ultimate) across two ribs 60kN
Prod. no.: P4-8002

 

Square Grid for U- Channel

High specification reinforced concrete Grid. Two per channel
Concrete Strength 40MPa (ave 28d), Reinforcing: hot dipped galvanized
Size: 370mm wide x 135mm deep x 600mm (module) long
Mass: 58kg each
Test load (ultimate) across two ribs 150kN
Prod. no.: P4-8003

Applications: For limited vehicle crossing i.e. occasional traffic moving very slowly. If used as such the grid must be firmly bedded on the channel with strong cement mortar. Rocking movememnt must not be possible. It can carry a lot more than the Median Grid and has a much improved shape.

Contra-indications (Do not use): For heavy vehicles other than rarely and at crawl-speed; high frequency traffic; vehicles moving other than very slowly. Heavy vehicles manoeuvring with the possibility of wheel scuffing.
