Measure what goes in the channels
Record cable outside diameters and connector dimensions within the route. The lid must close without pressing on poorly positioned joints. Channel count is not the same as cable count.
A load rating includes an area
Defender MICRO 2 lists approximately 2 t over 20 × 20 cm. SLIM 5 lists 5 t over 25 × 30 cm. These are not permissions for any vehicle mass under any crossing condition.
Ground changes the conditions
Defender’s manual ties declared capacities to firm, level ground. Check the whole route, lid closure and movement of sections during use.

Can a protector sit on soft ground?
