When the load is heavy and the traffic is relentless, MEGAGUARD™ delivers. The Class D rating under AS 3996:2019 makes this the highest-rated galvanised heelguard grate in the Vincent Buda and Company range, built for heavy commercial, industrial, and civil drainage where nothing less will do. The heelguard pattern keeps bar spacing tight enough to be pedestrian-safe even under the heaviest loads, while the bolt-down frame locks the grate securely to eliminate movement under vehicle impact. Since 1957, Vincent Buda and Company has been trusted by Australian builders to supply drainage that performs under pressure.
Available in 200mm wide and 300mm wide profiles, both supplied in 1500mm lengths, MEGAGUARD™ is a drop-in system that lets you form the concrete channel surround to whatever depth your project requires. Both profiles cut on site with an angle grinder to suit any trench run. Vincent Buda and Company stocks both profiles for same-day or next-day delivery within the Sydney Metro. Courier delivery available Australia-wide.

Class D is one of the highest load class under AS 3996:2019, rated for heavy commercial vehicles, forklifts, and industrial traffic. If your drainage is in the path of trucks or heavy machinery, specify Class D as the minimum requirement.
The heelguard pattern spaces bars closely enough to stop high heels and small wheels from penetrating the grate, even at Class D load ratings. MEGAGUARD™ is the only Class D galvanised grate in the Vincent Buda and Company range that is both pedestrian-safe and heavy-industrial rated.
Form the concrete surround around the frame to whatever depth your project requires before pouring. The drop-in system accommodates shallow and deep channels without modifying the grate or frame.
Yes, the 1500mm lengths cut cleanly with an angle grinder to suit your trench length. Always wear appropriate PPE and cut the frame at a clean right angle for a secure end fit.
