The Latham HDS Heavy Duty Vehicle expansion joint covers are specifically intended for areas of light vehicular traffic and heavy pedestrian traffic. With the spring steel centring bar acting as a shock absorber, the Series withstand the impact and vibration generated by light vehicular traffic travelling at speeds up to 20 kph.

The Series is designed to be set into a pre-formed recess, in conjunction with mechanical fixings. The Series is available with stainless steel or aluminium (ribbed) cover plates and this series can carry a water gutter if required. When the expansion joint width is 50mm or wider, the recess can accommodate the Latham Fire Barrier System.
