Steel Road Plate Hire Sydney

Our steel road plates for hire, also known as traffic plates, are heavy duty, perfect for roadworks, plumbing works, building and construction sites.

What is a road plate used for?

Road plates are used for street crossings, covering trenches, covering road potholes, pits in roadways, temporary access over unstable or muddy terrain and they can also be used to temporarily cover holes to avoiding unnecessary back filling. This can enable continued vehicle access during road works and excavations.

When you hire road plates, consider whether you will also need some traffic management equipment which we also supply such as barricades, barriers, temporary fencing and road safety signs. Our “Steel Plate Ahead” signs are a popular from our hire supplies. Hiring from The Plant Yard is a much more cost effective alternative than to buy steel road plates.

How to secure steel road plates

It is important to ensure that the heavy duty road plates fixed in place during works for hazard mitigation. If they are not properly installed, they can move and displace, creating a hazard to potential motorists or pedestrians. The ideal ways to secure the plates are to pin them to the ground through the available holes using road plate pins. They can also be recessed into the surface or secured with temporary asphalt wedges around the perimeter.

Recessed plates are generally better for highway use are easier to drive on and less reliant on the performance of the pins. We recommend testing the road plates out for displacement under load before continuing works.

Steel road plate sizes

What size and thickness is used will depend on your job. Our range of steel road plates come in various sizes, from 0.5m to 6m long, ranging from 16mm to 45mm. They are also AS3679 compliant. The smaller sizes are typically used for footpaths, pavements and driveways. Our 2.4m range is our most popular, most commonly used for streets, highways and construction sites.

They can also be used for covering hardened areas such as non reinforced concrete with heavier trucks, cranes and machinery. Our 6m range is more commonly used in larger continually flat zones. This includes areas such as playing fields, lawns, airports, dockside and large industrial areas.

We carry a large range of heavy duty steel plates. Our standard steel plate sizes can be found below. If centre lifting plates are required, please let us know. Also, if you would like to know the steel plate weight, we can assist.
