Trellex Ramp and Cope Protectors are special wedge-shaped rubber elements which are fitted together to form a flexible extension to steel and concrete structures. Their internal steel plate gives a strong connection and the grooved rubber face provides a high friction surface that prevents slipping.

Ramp Protectors

Used as Ramp Protectors, they allow easy loading and unloading of vehicles and trailers whilst protecting the front edge of the ramp from wear. Noise levels are also much lower compared to steel ramps. Ramp Protectors weigh much less than steel too - so they are easier to install and place less stress on the structure.

Cope Protectors

Used as Cope Protectors, the elements form a flexible extension to the cope or top edge of the quay. This reduces the gap between quay face and ship where loose or bulk cargoes can fall into the harbour. Cope Protectors are also flexible, so will bend out of the way if hit by a ship during berthing.
