Plain Steel Road Plate - Chamfered Edges

Key Features & Benefits

The HERMEQ Chamfered Edge Steel Road Plate is engineered for strength, stability, and smooth integration across a wide range of construction, excavation, and temporary access applications. Built to withstand heavy loads, it features sloped edges that allow for safer and quieter vehicle transitions, making it particularly effective in busy traffic zones.

Designed with four precision-cut lifting eyes and available in multiple sizes and thicknesses, this plate is suited to a variety of worksites—from utility repairs in urban settings to infrastructure-heavy demolition zones.

• Chamfered edge design – Reduces impact, noise, and tyre wear during vehicle crossings, ensuring smoother transitions over trenches and excavations.

• Heavy-duty steel construction – Delivers high load-bearing capacity, ideal for use under plant machinery and constant vehicular movement.

• Integrated lifting points – Allows safe and efficient handling with cranes, chains, or magnetic lifters.

• Flexible size and thickness options – Meets the varying needs of different trench widths, traffic loads, and project environments.

• Compatible with site accessories – Works with securing collars or magnetic lifting gear to improve onsite stability and safety.

 

Product Information

Tailored for UK roadworks, infrastructure projects, and groundworks, the HERMEQ Chamfered Edge Road Plate combines robust steel construction with user-friendly design. Its bevelled perimeter eliminates harsh edges, helping to minimise trip hazards and vehicle jolts—making it a preferred option where roads remain active during works.

Each plate is manufactured with four 60mm diameter lifting holes, spaced 50mm from the edges for balanced handling. These features enable quick installation and retrieval with magnetic lifters, chains, or mechanical systems.

This plate variant does not include an anti-slip coating, making it ideal for use in dry or managed conditions where surface grip is not the primary concern. For added friction in wet or high-risk areas, HERMEQ offers anti-slip and anti-skid versions.

 

Popular Uses & Applications

• Roadway trench bridging – Provides a safe, smooth transition for vehicles over utility trenches in active highways.

• Urban construction sites – Protects temporary excavations while reducing noise and surface disruption.

• Demolition & plant operations – Withstands substantial vehicle and equipment weight across unstable or open ground.

• Utility service access – Offers rapid deployment for telecom, energy, or water infrastructure maintenance.

 

Handling & Installation

Each plate is equipped with four reinforced lifting eyes to ensure controlled, balanced movement using magnetic or mechanical lifting tools. For added security and compliance on high-traffic worksites, plates can be secured using HERMEQ collars to prevent unwanted displacement from frequent vehicle crossings or vibration.

 

Alternative Options

For a heavier-duty alternative, we also stock Anti-Skid Road Plates with a much rougher finish where greater traction is required. For compact trenches, holes or pits, consider Steel Plate Hole Covers or our Steel Trench Covers.

 

HERMEQ stocks a wide range of Vehicle & Pedestrian Access solutions, including Vehicle Access Mats, Ramps, and Foot Ramps & Trench Covers.
