Cable Trench Moulds

Removable covers for power cable trenches, metro and tunnel troughs

Cable trench covers protect underground power and telecom cables while giving maintenance crews repeatable, removable access. Our moulds precast the concrete cover slabs that seat on top of a cable trench — most with moulded lift handles or lifting slots so the slab can be lifted for cable pulling and inspection, then seated flush again.

The range covers everyday lift-handle power/utility covers from 60×40 to 170×50cm, notched and cobblestone-tread variants, plus heavy ABS metro/subway platform covers and 20–26cm deep-burial tunnel trough covers, including multi-part T-junction assembly sets supplied with demoulding diagrams. Standard catalogue sizes and OEM designs from your drawings or sample photos can both be reviewed before quotation.

Cable Trench Cover Mould Buyer Guide

Choose cable trench covers by the trench clear opening, seat width, required thickness/load environment, how often crews need to lift the slab (lift-handle vs fixed) and whether the project is a substation, metro or tunnel.

Common cable trench mould choices

  • U-shaped cable trench moulds: open concrete cable channels for power, telecom and industrial utility lines.
  • Deep utility trench moulds: larger components for cable protection, inspection and repeated installation dimensions.
  • Trench cover moulds: matching covers with holes, ribs or anti-slip patterns.
  • Double-slot duct moulds: used when different cable or service lines need separation.

Engineering details that matter

For cover moulds, the seat detail, notch, lifting-hole positions, tread pattern and slab thickness decide whether the finished concrete cover seats correctly and can be lifted safely.

  • Provide inside and outside dimensions if available.
  • Confirm whether the trench needs a separate cover mould.
  • Tell us if the product is for power, telecom, railway, substation or municipal corridor use.

What to send for a fast quote

Cable trench cover orders depend on the trench opening, how the cover seats and the application. Clear dimensions help us quote faster.

  • Finished cover length × width × thickness, and the trench clear opening + seat width
  • Cover type: lift-handle removable, notched, cobblestone/striped tread, metro panel or deep-burial tunnel slab
  • Application: substation/power, telecom, industrial park, metro/subway or railway/road tunnel
  • Lifting-slot or handle positions, notch, drainage slots, anti-slip tread and any marking (e.g. UP orientation)
  • Material preference (PP/ABS), quantity, destination country and mixed-size packing requirements

U-Channel and Cable Trench Moulds — From Drawing to Finished Unit

Several U-channel and cable trench mould sizes, shown with the CAD section drawings and 3D models they were built from. A trench mould is always quoted from a section: internal width, internal depth, wall thickness and length. Send the section and we will confirm whether it matches existing tooling or needs a new mould.

Cable Trench Mould With Interlocking Accessories 30×20×20 cm

An M-profile utility trench with matching joining/end fittings. Cable ducts run in long straight runs — if the locating lugs do not match between batches the run wanders, so order trench, cover and junction/turn fittings together.

Cable Trench Cover Moulds FAQ

Are these cable trench body moulds or cover moulds?

This page is our cable trench COVER programme — removable lift-handle (提手) covers that seat on top of a concrete or brick cable trench, plus metro and tunnel trough covers. We supply the cover moulds; if you also need the U-shaped trench body mould, those are quoted separately from your section drawing (see our Drainage Channel / U-channel range).

What is a lift-handle (提手) cover and why use one?

A lift-handle cover has moulded lifting slots or pull points (e.g. 8.5×3.5cm slots) so maintenance crews can lift the slab to pull or inspect power/telecom cables, then seat it flush again — no cast-in iron frame needed. It is the standard removable cover for substations, industrial parks and utility corridors.

Which size fits my cable trench — 80×50, 138×40 or 170×50?

The cover size is set by your trench clear opening plus the seat/bearing width on each side, not by the trench width alone. A 170×50cm cover, for example, typically seats over a narrower trench. Send the trench inner width, wall/seat width and required cover thickness and we will match the mould.

PP or ABS for cable trench covers?

PP (polypropylene) is the lower-cost choice for standard lift covers up to ~80cm and high-cycle yard production. Use ABS for large 100–170cm panels, deep 20–26cm tunnel sections and metro/T-junction assembly sets, where extra rigidity and demoulding stiffness matter.

Can the cover have a notch, drainage slots or an anti-slip tread?

Yes — notches (e.g. 20×1cm frame-clearance notch), lifting holes, drainage slots and cobblestone/striped anti-slip treads are all moulded directly into the part. A notch must be moulded, not cut on site, or it will crack under load.

What are the metro T-junction assembly and deep-burial tunnel covers?

For subway and tunnel troughs we supply multi-part assembly sets (e.g. the 60.8×59×34.4cm T-junction set, supplied with a demoulding diagram) and ultra-thick 20–26cm deep-burial covers (60×50×26, 85×49×20). These are engineered to railway/metro drawings and quoted as sets.

Do you quote load ratings for the covers?

We do not stamp a load class on the mould — load capacity is a property of the finished reinforced concrete (rebar design, concrete grade and cover thickness). We provide the mould geometry and wall/rib design to your drawing; the structural rating is set by the precaster's concrete design.

Can you make cable trench covers from our project drawings?

Yes. Send the finished cover drawing (length × width × thickness), seat/notch detail, lifting-hole or handle positions, tread pattern and material preference (PP/ABS). We confirm whether it matches existing tooling or needs a new OEM mould before quotation.
