Steel Road Plates – 3.6m x 1.5m
Hireline heavy-duty steel road plates are designed to provide safe and reliable temporary ground cover over trenches, excavations, underground services, and damaged surfaces on construction, civil, utility, and roading projects. Measuring 3.6 metres long by 1.5 metres wide, these plates are ideal for maintaining vehicle and pedestrian access while protecting open excavations and improving site safety.
Manufactured from durable heavy-duty steel, these road plates feature 50mm round corner holes for handling and positioning, along with a centrally located 25mm threaded lifting point compatible with lifting eyes for safer and more efficient unloading, loading, and repositioning around site.
Unlike traditional road plates that often require crowbars, pinch bars, chains, and awkward lifting methods to move them safely, our centre lifting eye system allows fast and controlled lifting directly from the centre of the plate. This significantly improves site safety, reduces manual handling risks, and makes installation and relocation much quicker and easier for operators, truck drivers, and civil crews.
The centre lifting eye design also helps eliminate the need to pry up plate edges to attach chains or lifting gear, saving valuable time on site while reducing damage to road surfaces and surrounding areas. Ideal for busy civil works, utility projects, emergency repairs, trenching, and temporary traffic management applications throughout Auckland and New Zealand.
Perfect for use on roads, driveways, construction sites, footpaths, trench works, and emergency utility repairs.
Delivery and collection available Auckland wide.
