Heavy Duty GRP Road Plates 1500mm

Heavy Duty GRP Road Plates are a modular system of composite sections which link together to cover potentially dangerous excavations on construction and maintenance sites. They have an innovative flexible edge which reduces unwanted noise, which is particularly useful in residential areas. 

SafeSite’s GRP road plates are a cost-effective and efficient safety solution for your site. A lightweight and long-lasting alternative to steel, at 44kg, they are lighter and easier to handle than steel road plates. There is no need for specialist lifting equipment as GRP road plates can be installed in minutes with a two-person lift.

Installation

The GRP Road Plate is a modular system of composite sections which link together. Unlike steel plates, they don’t need to be moved with lifting equipment and can be installed with a two-person lift. The end sections are equipped with anchor holes so the road plates can be secured to the road. Heavy duty linking connectors lock the road plates together securely.

Weight capacity

Our GRP road plates’ integrated anti-skid surface exceeds current road plates’ standards and provides positive traction, for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. They are weight tested to 44 tonnes.

Weight tolerance for road plates depends on the site and conditions, so always check with our team first or consult a structural engineer to make sure you install the right solution for your needs.
