e:tek PRO · Road Plates Set

The e:tek PRO Road Plates are available in four different drive-over plate set sizes, as a set of 10, set of 20, set of 30 incl. steel pallet with corner angle set or folding angle set. The precisely fitting and loading space optimized drive plate box (steel pallet + 4 angles), is thereby  hardly larger than the Road Plate itself. The e:tek PRO  plastic Road Plates or drive-over plates are 3000×1000×20 mm, cover an area of 3.00 m² and are about 55 kg light. On the top of the driving plate there is a approx. 2 mm thick anti-slip profile structure, the underside is without profile. 

Which road plate set sizes are available and what do they contain?

There are usually 3 set sizes to choose from. Usually there are sets of 10, sets of 20 or sets of 30, where the number indicates how many driving plates the set contains. In addition to the drive plates, the set always includes a drive plate box consisting of a SmartStore steel pallet and 4 SmartStore corner brackets. You will find a detailed list or set parts list for the respective set  in the "Technical data" tab under "Set contents". 

• sets of 10 driving plates
• 20er driving plates sets
• sets of 30 driving plates
  
  

Why does the moving platen set not include any connectors or connecting clips?

On the one hand, the choice of the right connector depends on the surface on which the panels are to be laid, and on the other hand, the number of connectors required depends on how the panels are to be laid out. Plastic connectors must always be used when a firm, hard, sensitive floor covering such as paving, concrete, porcelain stoneware, hall floors or coated industrial floors is to be protected from damage. Round steel connectors, in turn, may only be used on soft, unpaved ground such as, lawn, meadow, gravel, farmland, etc. To answer the question of how many connectors are needed per driving plate, we recommend the following quantities as a rough guide based on experience:

Recommended number of connectors, per plate:   

• Lane, 1-lane = 2x "2-fold connectors" 
• Lane, 2-lane = 2x "2-fold connector" + 1x "4-fold connector
• Platform / Flat = 1x "4-way connector"  + 1x "4-way connector"
  
  

Do the e:tek PRO drive-over plates have an anti-slip profile?

Yes, the 20 mm thick e:tek PRO drive-over plates made of LDPE plastic have a structure profiling on one side. The profile thickness on the upper side is approx. 2 mm and, thanks to the checker plate structure, ensures improved safety and slip resistance for man and machine, on any terrain, in any season, in any weather.

• One-sided profiling
• Chequer plate structure
• Easy to clean
  
  

Do the e:tek PRO driving plates have grip holes and also holes for connecting? 

The plastic driving plate has connecting holes at each corner for easy coupling of the plates by means of driving plate connectors made of plastic (for firm floors) or connectors made of steel (for soft floors). There are 2 finger holes in the short side of the plate. Thanks to the total of 4 grip holes and the low dead weight, plastic plate is very easy to carry and just as easy to lay. The load capacity** is up to approx. 45t on paved & dry ground, up to approx. 18t on unpaved & dry ground and up to 5t on unpaved & wet ground.

• 4 grip holes (2 per short side)
• 4 corner holes for connecting
  
  

In which applications have the e:tek PRO drive-over plates proven themselves?

The extremely robust and solid plastic driving plate reliably protects the ground, no matter if it is meadow, pavement or other soils from loads. Our driving plates, soil protection plates and heavy-duty plates are often used as temporary access solutions, drive-over plates, load distribution plates, mobile driveways, makeshift roads or as access routes for excavators, trucks and construction machinery in construction site equipment and construction logistics. Drive-over slabs protect the subsoil, serve to distribute the load, prevent vehicles, machines and pedestrians from sinking in, and thus effectively reduce costs for costly ground reworking.

• Turf protection & pavement protection
• Driveways & construction roads
• Site equipment & construction logistics
• Storage areas & assembly areas
• Landscaping & Earthworks
• Events & functions
  
  

Why are plastic panels better than wooden panels?

The big advantage of plastic panels compared to wooden panels is that plastic panels do not rot, are heat- and frost-resistant, break-proof and extremely flexible and therefore reusable. Due to the profiling and connection options, the e:tek driving panels allow for improved safety and mobility. The particularly easy-to-handle plastic panels can be installed and removed in no time at all.

• Durable and frequently reusable
• Will not splinter, rot or weather
• Weather resistant & UV stable
• Frost & temperature resistant
