Steel Road Plates ·

Trackway mats made of steel - in 21 different sizes, from 2.0m² to 10.8 m² and 160 kg to 1728 kg, incl. two holes of 40 mm each for craning or lifting by means of slings or loops. Colloquially, trackway mats made of steel is also known as a road plate or drive-over plate, heavy steel plate, roadway plate, or Mobile access road for load distribution, trench crossing and construction site equipment. trackway mats made of steel are a useful addition to trackway mats and plastic ground protection plates.

Spoilt for choice: trackway mats made of steel or plastic.

trackway mats made of steel are a useful addition to trackway mats and plastic ground protection plates. Many of our customers buy and use trackway mats made of steel as well as trackway mats plastic, even at the same time on the same construction site / project, depending on the respective product advantages and properties. It is therefore less a question of whether to choose either steel or plastic slabs, but rather where and when the use of trackway mats made of steel or plastic makes more sense.

Steel plate made to measure, with or without company logo

We can also add your logo or lettering to the steel plates or even individual perforations to make it easier to Installation the steel plates using crane vehicles, excavators or wheel loaders.

Steel plates for load distribution on paving and asphalt

A tip from us: If you are using steel plates on hard and sensitive floors or surfaces such as paving, asphalt, sidewalks, etc., we recommend our rubber mats in 3 mm, 6 mm or 8 mm thickness as a cushioning, separating and insulating carpet pad. In addition,   rubber mats contribute effectively to noise reduction and reduce the risk of marks being left by movement and shifting of the steel plates.

What are the advantages of trackway mats made of steel compared to trackway mats made of plastic?

Probably the biggest difference between trackway mats made of steel and trackway mats made of plastic, apart from the high weight, is the high rigidity or bending stiffness or, in other words, the lack of elasticity. The bending stiffness makes it possible to cover a trench with steel plates to allow pedestrians and machines to cross a trench safely. This is why the steel plates are regularly called crossing plates, as they allow you to cross a trench even with a heavy excavator, truck, crane or other construction machinery.

In addition, the steel plate can optimally distribute point loads, such as the wheel load, over the entire surface due to its bending stiffness.

• Higher dead weight
• Lower elasticity
• Better weight transfer

What are steel plates suitable for?

Due to the aforementioned effect, trackway mat made of steel has proven to be particularly suitable for the use of heavy machinery and vehicles on heavily softened, unsurfaced and/or poorly load-bearing soils. In addition, trackway mats made of steel are often used as a temporary access solution or access route for construction sites. Access routes for construction sites as mobile construction roads, Mobile access road or heavy-duty access roads. This is also the origin of the alternative terms commonly used in the industry, such as road plates (due to heavy plate), roadway plates, drive-over plates or road steel, which all refer to the same product or solution. Furthermore, we always recommend our steel plates if the plates are to be driven over with steel chains.

Compared to profiled plastic trackway mats, the steel counterpart has a smooth, unprofiled surface. When driving on plastic slabs without the steering movement of a steel tracked vehicle, it is still uncritical. If steering movements are carried out with steel chains on profiled plastic trackway mats, they will withstand the wear, but increased wear must be expected until the profiling is completely worn away.

• For heavy machinery
• Roads
• Vehicles with steel chains
