Cable Ramps Hire
Heavy-duty cable and hose protectors for events, construction, and industrial sites. Keep your cables safe from vehicles and your pedestrians safe from trips — nationwide hire.
Cables across the ground are a problem on any working site or event. They are a trip hazard for pedestrians, they are vulnerable to damage from vehicles and foot traffic, and they make the place look untidy. Cable ramps solve all three problems at once — cover the cables, protect them from crushing, and create a safe, smooth surface over the top.
Our ramps are heavy-duty rubber with hinged yellow lids — the kind you will recognise from construction sites and festival build areas. They take vehicle weight without cracking, connect together to cover any length of cable run, and the high-visibility yellow markings make them obvious even in low light. Simple kit, but it makes a real difference to site safety and organisation.
How much does cable ramp hire cost?
Cable ramp hire is straightforward to quote. Here is what determines the price.
Length of run
Priced per ramp section. The more you need, the lower the per-unit rate. We will help calculate the right length for your cable routes.
Hire duration
Daily rates drop for weekly and monthly hires. A weekend festival costs less per day than a single-day job. Long-term construction rates are the most economical.
Delivery
Distance from our Cambridgeshire base affects transport cost. Ramps stack efficiently so even large orders ship economically.

Protect your cables and your people
Exposed cables and hoses are a trip hazard and a damage risk. Our heavy-duty rubber cable ramps create a smooth, safe surface over the top while protecting what is inside. Interlocking sections let you cover any length of run.
- Multiple channels accommodate cables, hoses, and pipes together
- Hinged yellow lids for easy access during setup and teardown
- High-visibility yellow markings — clear even in low light
- Interlocking ends for continuous, gap-free runs
- Vehicle-rated — HGVs and plant can drive straight over
Where cable ramps are essential
Events and Festivals
Protect power, audio, and lighting cables crossing walkways and vehicle routes. Keeps the show running and the crowd safe.

Frequently asked questions
What are cable ramps used for?
Cable ramps protect power, audio, lighting, and data cables crossing walkways and vehicle routes. They prevent trip hazards for pedestrians and protect expensive cables from being crushed by vehicles. Common on event sites, construction projects, film sets, and anywhere temporary cables run across traffic areas.
Can vehicles drive over your cable ramps?
Yes. Our ramps are heavy-duty rubber and vehicle-rated — HGVs and plant machinery can drive straight over them without damaging the cables inside. The ramps distribute vehicle weight across their full width, protecting both the cables and the ramp itself.
How many channels do the cable ramps have?
Up to 5 channels per ramp, accommodating cables, hoses, and pipes together in a single run. Hinged yellow lids allow easy cable access during setup and teardown without lifting the entire ramp — practical when you need to add or remove a cable mid-event.
What does cable ramp hire cost?
Cable ramp hire is priced per ramp per week, with volume discounts for larger orders. The main factors affecting cost are how many ramps you need (length of cable run), hire duration, and delivery distance from our Cambridgeshire base. Call us for a project-specific quote — we will need your site location and approximate cable run length.
Where are cable ramps typically used?
Events and festivals (power and audio cables across walkways), construction sites (site power and water hoses across vehicle routes), film and TV production (generator and lighting cables on set), and industrial warehousing (temporary power and data runs in loading bays). Anywhere cables cross traffic, cable ramps are essential.
