Off Road Covers

Due to the simplicity of our Off Road Cover solution, they are designed as a stock off-shelf solution. SVC maintains high volumes of Off Road Covers in sizes compatible with our 300x300 poly pits, 450x450 and 600x600 precast pits.

Unfortunately, Off Road Covers are not available as a customisable cover solution.

SVC's Off Road Covers are designed as a no-fuss, simple cover solution for small pits. They are easy to implement in backyards, nature strips, business parks and any domestic or commercial project that requires a solid pit cover that is lightweight and easy to access.

It is important to note that Off Road Covers are only load-rated to Class B as per AS 3996:2019; they are able to withstand the loading of slow-moving traffic only, and should not be used in applications requiring Class C or higher loading.

Off Road Covers (Class B) are designed to withstand slow-moving domestic traffic only, and are suitable for use in driveways or garden areas. They are not designed for road use and should not be installed adjacent to heavy traffic.

In contrast, highway covers or covers suited for road use are typically rated Class C, D or higher, depending on their specific application. SVC offers ductile iron covers and VicRoads covers in Class C and D as part of our standard range. We can also supply Class E, F or G covers on a made-to-order basis, depending on specific project requirements.

The clear opening refers to the size of the open space or void beneath a cover or grate, and typically matches the internal size of the pit chamber below. It is the most critical dimension when ordering pit covers.

Access covers and grates are usually larger than the clear opening size in order to sufficiently cover the pit beneath. It is important to note that any dimensions in the product descriptions typically refer to the nominal clear opening, not the external dimensions of the cover or grate itself. For specific product dimensions, SVC can provide technical datasheets or product drawings for accuracy.
