An interconnected surface
Solid Base Medium Duty road plates are an effective alternative to traditional steel plates. Our robust plastic road plates are bolted together to create a solid access road that provides optimal load distribution. Their lower weight compared to steel plates offers significant advantages in transport and handling, streamlining logistics. A non-slip surface profile ensures excellent traction in most conditions.

Old vs. new
Steel road plates have been used for over 100 years, while composite plates are relatively new.
What are the advantages of steel road plates vs. composite road plates?
Steel plates
- Traditional solution
- Widely available
- Ideal for bridging
MD Plastic Road Plates
- Lightweight
- Low maintenance
- Interlocking system (Bolts)
- Minimizes ground damage
- Reduced tire wear and damage
- Improved working environment
Alternative – Can be installed by hand!
Solid Base Medium Duty (Small) road plates are designed specifically for easy handling; they can be lifted and installed by two people without the need for cranes or special tools (weight approx. 43 kg). This makes them ideal for the quick deployment of temporary access and effective ground protection for medium-duty applications. The plates, made from 100% recycled HDPE, are securely connected using integrated metal connectors and standard M12 bolts via a 10 cm overlap, ensuring optimal load distribution (up to 130 tonnes). The non-slip Isotraction™ surface provides excellent grip, and the plates are reversible with a different profile on each side.*
