Temporary Access Accessory Hire

Our Temporary Access Accessories

Explore our range of temporary access accessories, available to hire as part of a complete temporary roadway solution.

Slide Protection Barrier

Our Slide Protection Barrier adds additional safety to temporary access roads, creating a barrier to prevent vehicles from veering off the trackway. Designed for quick installation, it connects directly to existing panel connection points while maintaining a 3000mm clearance, with a bright yellow finish for increased visibility. Made up of base plates, tubes, and end caps, the modular system can be assembled to fit any length or configuration. Its lightweight components allow single-person handling, eliminating the need for machinery during setup.

Aluminium Ramps

Our aluminium ramps provide a seamless connection between the ground and Heavy-Duty Aluminium Panels for vehicles accessing your site. Crafted from 6063 T6-grade aluminium, the ramps are structurally engineered for durability and load-bearing performance. Their lightweight yet robust design makes installation quick and straightforward, offering compatibility with a range of temporary roadway layouts. Whether dealing with heavy machinery or light vehicles, these ramps deliver safe, efficient access with minimal disruption. Backed by TPA’s extensive stock of traditional aluminium panels, they integrate seamlessly to create a complete temporary access solution.

Sponge Underlay

The Sponge Underlay System provides essential ground protection to help prevent marks on underlying surfaces from heavy-duty panels. Made from partially recycled materials, it offers a reliable solution for protecting surfaces, reducing noise, and absorbing vibrations. Designed to handle diverse ground conditions, the system enhances stability, prevents slippage, and ensures long-term durability. Its lightweight 1m square sections allow for quick and straightforward installation, while the open-cell structure facilitates airflow beneath the panels.

GS6 Height Restrictor

The GS6 Height Restrictor provides crucial protection for personnel working near overhead power lines. Fully HSE GS6 compliant, it meets Health and Safety Executive guidelines and features high-visibility red and white alternating sections for clear and effective hazard marking.

EPZ Demarcation

The EPZ Demarcation System is designed to meet safety and compliance needs in the electricity transmission sector. It provides reliable protection for workers around Electrically Protected Zones (EPZs), overhead lines (OHLs), towers, or substations. This system solves the challenge of inadequate demarcation by clearly defining safe work zones and secure working areas, controlling access and egress. Its modular design allows for easy customisation to meet the specific needs of any site or project.

Safe Kerb Ramps

Safe Kerb Ramps provide a practical, cost-effective solution for safe access and egress when transitioning from one level to another. Available in 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm heights, these high-visibility ramps come with fixings for tarmac and concrete. Each ramp features two channels for cable access and supports loads up to 20,000kg, allowing goods, vehicles, and HGVs to overcome kerbs with ease.
