Reusable Road Plate Securement
Plate Locks provide a reusable alternative to cold mix around steel road plates. The system is designed to reduce repeated cold-patch installation, removal, cleanup, and material waste when plates are moved or reset.
The shims are used as needed to help provide full bearing beneath the road plate, while the ramp sections are positioned around the exposed perimeter and anchored in place.
Common Applications
The Plate Locks 30 ft. Kit can be used for steel road plate installations associated with:
- utility excavation and repair work;
- roadway and street construction;
- temporary trench and excavation crossings;
- construction zones using steel road plates; and
- projects where a reusable alternative to cold mix is preferred.
Basic Installation
Installation begins by positioning the Plate Lock ramps along the exposed road plate edges. Anchor holes are drilled using an SDS Plus 3/8 in. x 12 in. drill bit, and the ramps are secured with the supplied THD anchors and washers.
Plate shims are then used as needed to help provide full bearing and stabilize the road plate.
Plan the Complete Road Plate Installation
Important: Road plate securement requirements depend on the plate layout, pavement or supporting surface, excavation geometry, traffic conditions, plate bearing, and jobsite requirements. Confirm the complete installation and required quantities before ordering.
