Altrad Generation's Anti-Skid Road Plates are designed for safe, temporary trench cover in areas with high pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Manufactured from 3/4" thick steel and coated with a premium anti-skid bauxite surface, these road plates offer both strength and superior slip resistance - critical for maintaining site safety in wet or urban conditions.
The high-friction surface uses 1-3mm Chinese bauxite aggregate bonded with a two-part polyurethane resin system, Type 1 BBA Approved. This delivers excellent traction underfoot and under tyre, helping prevent accidents on busy or exposed sites. For road plate hire UK operations, this coating makes anti-skid plates the preferred choice over standard steel plates in high-traffic areas.
Each plate includes four lifting holes for easy transport and positioning, and anchor holes to secure the trench cover plate in place after coating. Available in 6' x 4' and 8' x 4' sizes, these plates are ideal for streetworks, trenching, utility maintenance, and access over concrete formwork during curing or protection stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do anti-skid road plates differ from standard steel road plates?
A: Anti-skid road plates include a BBA-approved coating with a textured bauxite surface, making them far safer in wet or high-traffic environments than standard steel road plates. The anti-slip finish provides significantly higher traction for both vehicles and pedestrians, reducing accident risk on live sites.
Q: Are anti-skid road plates suitable for use over fresh concrete or formwork?
A: Yes. The plates are suitable for use over concrete formwork as protective access bridges, helping to distribute load and prevent surface damage during curing or protection stages.
Q: How do I secure an anti-skid road plate on site?
A: Each plate comes with pre-cut anchor holes so you bolt the plate securely into place after installation. This prevents movement from vehicle traffic and ensures the plate stays correctly positioned throughout the works.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Altrad Generation's Anti-Skid Road Plates are available in 6' x 4' and 8' x 4' sizes. Both sizes include four lifting holes and anchor holes as standard.
