Road plates and trench covers have a range of uses including road construction, excavation, vehicle traffic or pedestrian access ways.

Our road plates (aka trench covers) are made from 350 premium grade steel, using a higher grade steel ensures strength and durability. All our plates come standard with lifting eyes and fixing holes, we also fit them with a lift plate in the centre. Using a ranger lift hook makes it easy and safe to move the plates around.

Common applications of steel road plates:

  • Trenches - covering open trenches during construction or maintenance.
  • Potholes - in severe cases covering large potholes.
  • Pedestrian access - providing safe walkways for pedestrians during excavation or construction.
  • Driveways - covering a ditch or smoothing out steep driveway entrances.
  • Construction excavation - Covering large holes during excavation works.
