Altrad Generation Steel Road Plates provide heavy-duty temporary coverage over open trenches and excavations, giving vehicles and pedestrians safe passage across construction and utility sites. Manufactured from 3/4" thick steel, these plates carry substantial loads and withstand repeated use across multiple projects.
Available in two sizes, the 6' x 4' plate weighs 338kg and the 8' x 4' plate weighs 515kg. Each plate includes four integrated lifting holes for safe handling and positioning by crane or forklift. Anchor holes allow the plate to be secured in place once positioned. An anti-skid coating option is available for sites where surface grip in wet conditions is a priority.
