The "ultimate discipline" for plastic ground protection pads and road plates is their use under special conditions, such as when heavy goods vehicles cross a traffic island. This often results in the need for so-called traffic control measures (TCM). As the definition suggests, traffic must generally be directed or guided by specialists. Of course, this only happens in compliance with strict official regulations. These regulations include, on the one hand, the handling of traffic signs, traffic equipment, and traffic lights, and, on the other, the safety of the road infrastructure.
Road plates for heavy transport
This is precisely where floor protection or road plates come in. As already mentioned, only specialists are employed for such heavy transports, who in turn ensure smooth operations. Therefore, it's not surprising that when selecting ground protection mats, road plates, and heavy-duty panels, one must meticulously separate the wheat from the chaff.
Up to 30 road plates in the escort vehicle / advance vehicle
Any planning error, any shortage of equipment, or any delay in the process can have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, escort vehicles and/or advance vehicles (usually Sprinter vans, transporters, etc.) are deployed for heavy-duty transport operations with the aim of responding to any eventuality in advance.
These advance vehicles naturally also carry the necessary equipment for ground protection. The s:tek ground protection plate, the x:tek road plate, and the MaxiTrack heavy-duty road plate not only meet all requirements in this "ultimate discipline," but they also offer space-saving storage.
Laying road plates for driving over traffic islands
Up to 30 panels can be carried on a support vehicle, allowing for quick and easy installation at critical locations such as curbs, kerbs, traffic islands, or roundabouts.
In addition to this special feature, both plates also offer other properties that clearly distinguish them from other products and make them the first choice for professionals who are responsible for escorting heavy transport.
Of particular note here is the quick and easy connection of the panels. Many other panels on the market either have no or only inadequate connection options, which naturally results in the panels slipping and thus failing to fulfill their core function.
Of course, these aren't the only features that set these two panels apart from all others. The extreme flexibility of both systems is also worth mentioning. Especially for heavy-duty transport, this is another key feature that customers repeatedly emphasize.
