The BK Trimurti is Brahma the creator, Vishnu the sustainer, and Shankar the destroyer. It is used to refer to the three acts of creation, sustenance and destruction by God. Their God is known as "Trimurti Shiva", an conept that would not resonate with Hindus.
The BK use is similar to the Hindi Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, except that the BKs distinguish between Shankar and Shiva (which are the same deity to Hindus), and portray Shiva as the supreme soul shining over all three of the trimurti.
Thus the Trimurti is symbolic - a representation of three interrelated aspects of life/existance.
