Site Installation Guidelines

■Minimum Overlap:
Steel road plates must overlap firm ground on either side of the trench by a minimum of 300mm.
■Trench Shoring:
Ensure underlying trench walls are adequately shored to support the plate's bearing weight and vehicle loads.
■Edge Ramping:
For public roadway use, edges should be ramped with cold-mix asphalt to allow smooth transitions for cars and bicycles.
■Unloading Gear Required:
Plates cannot be moved manually. A forklift, digger, or Hiab truck must be present at the delivery site.
