Steel Road Plate Hire – 2400 x 1200 x 18mm

If you're looking for a durable, reusable, and cost-effective solution for temporary ground or trench cover, our steel road plate hire service is the perfect choice. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, this heavy-duty 2400mm x 1200mm x 18mm steel road plate is designed to provide reliable surface protection and support for both vehicles and pedestrians in high-traffic or hazardous work areas.

Our road plates are engineered to offer exceptional strength and stability, allowing vehicles to pass safely over excavations, trenches, or other open areas during groundworks. Whether it's for utility maintenance, civil engineering, or construction sites, this plate size is ideal for covering medium-width excavations and ensuring load-bearing stability on a range of surfaces.

The 18mm thickness ensures that the plate can withstand the weight of cars, vans, and light construction vehicles, helping to minimise ground disruption while keeping your site accessible. Pedestrian safety is also a key benefit, with the steel surface providing a stable walking path around or across open areas.

This particular steel plate measures 2400mm (length) x 1200mm (width) x 18mm (thickness), making it one of the most commonly used dimensions for road plate rental. Its manageable size offers excellent coverage without being too large to handle in confined spaces.

All of our steel plate rentals come with pre-drilled lifting holes as standard, allowing for easier and safer handling using lifting equipment. Due to the weight of the plate, we strongly recommend using appropriate machinery for loading, unloading, and positioning on-site.

The steel plate ensures load-bearing support for vehicles while maintaining ground stability and pedestrian safety, making it an essential part of any site safety strategy.

Steel road plates are essential on a wide variety of projects where temporary access is required over unsafe or uneven terrain. This plate size is particularly suitable for:

Excavation and trench covers
Utility and drainage works
Demolition and construction sites
Pedestrian walkways and vehicle crossings

Whether it’s a short-term hire for emergency works or a longer-term requirement on a large infrastructure project, our steel road plate hire service ensures that your site remains accessible, compliant, and secure.

We understand that construction and maintenance projects operate to tight schedules. That’s why we offer fast, reliable delivery across the UK, ensuring you get the steel plates you need, when you need them.
