Key Benefits of Our Composite Trench Plates & Road Covers
- Lightweight
- The lightweight construction of these road plates mean that they can all be easily deployed, removing the requirement for heavy lifting equipment normally needed to deploy traditional steel road plates.
- No Theft Incentive
- As these road plates are made almost entirely from non-metallic materials there is no incentive for metal thieves to steal them. Theft of metallic objects for scrap is becoming more and more of an issue with current metal prices.
- Anti-Slip
- The textured surface low profile edges and high visibility color of our road plates makes them far more pedestrian friendly, reducing the risk of slipping and tripping.
- Quieter Operation
- Traditional steel road plates do not always lie flat on the roads surface, this makes them very noisy when traffic passes over them. The modular road plate 15/5 with its interlocking design is stable, and far quieter under heavy traffic than steel plates.
