Trench Plate Hire Auckland

Hire heavy-duty 2400 x 1200 x 25mm steel trench plates for roadworks, drainage, excavations, driveway access and temporary vehicle crossings across Auckland.

Trench plate hire

Cover open trenches safely, quickly and professionally.

When a trench, excavation or temporary opening needs to stay trafficable, steel trench plates are one of the fastest ways to keep vehicles, pedestrians and contractors moving safely.

Kiwi Plate Hire supplies steel road plates suitable for covering trenches on roads, footpaths, driveways and construction sites. Plates can be delivered by flat deck where your site has a forklift or excavator available, or by hiab where lifting support is needed.

Our plates are fitted with central ranger lifting plates, standard lifting eyelets and fastening points in each corner, making them practical for busy Auckland civil, drainage and utility projects.
