From heavy road plates to lightweight heavy-duty road plates
Road plates are suitable for creating temporary access routes to construction sites located some distance from the public road network. These access routes are subjected to heavy loads from lorries, cranes and other heavy traffic. Due to the heavy load, heavy-duty road plates, such as steel road plates or dragline mats, are often chosen. The disadvantage of heavy-duty road plates is that they sink into soft or wet ground and are difficult to handle and susceptible to theft. That is why Ferex has introduced ‘lightweight heavy-duty’ road plates.
