2.5m x 1.25m x 20mm (8ft x 4ft x 3/4 inch) – Steel Crossing/Pit Cover Plate
Typical applications
- To cover trench up to 800 mm wide for highway traffic loadings and similar masses
- To bridge trench or void up to 400 mm wide for lorries, medium construction plant and medium forklifts
- Ideal for skating and/or rolling heavier loads across terrain that is hard but not flat and smooth.
- Suitable for traversing with steel tracked machinery
- Also used for covering hardened areas (block pave, tarmac and non reinforced concrete) for heavier traffic such as trucks, cranes and machinery
- As with all roadplates/crossing plates, the loadings for whatever passes over them will be transferred to the areas bearing the edges of the plate. Adequate measures to shore the underlying substrate should be taken
