HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
SAFETY CENTRIC, SIMPLICITY DRIVEN.
Anti skid road plates and steel road plates must be moved and handled with care alongside the mechanical assistance of a forklift or a crane. It is not recommended to manually handle road plates due to their size and weight, doing so, is at your own risk.
Anti skid road plates and steel road plates must always be maneuvered into position with mechanical assistance. Once in the correct location and position the road plate can be lowered to the ground and secured.
Securing or fixing road crossing plates to a road surface is done so by using the anchorage points located at each corner.
Where and when applicable, tapered edge ramps / toe ramps must also be installed and securely fixed to avoid displacement or movement.
Where and when applicable, handrails and guardrails must also be installed. This will not be required in all situations, however; events and public areas may require additional safety measures.
All road plates, steel or anti skid are required bylaw to be securely fixed to the road surface to avoid any movement, accident and injury. It is also a requirement by law, all authorities and or, contractors must also incorporate regular in-service checks ensuring the road plates are in a fit for working condition and free of any defects, damage and remain securely in place.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
SAFETY CENTRIC, SIMPLICITY DRIVEN.
Road Plates, steel or anti-skid treated should not be handled by one person. Appropriate lifting equipment must be implemented for loading, unloading and installation.
Anti skid road plates and steel road plates must be removed from area of installation using the appropriate cranage or lifting equipment. Road plates must then be stowed correctly for transport, stacked one on top of the other, with 4″x 3″ battens placed between the plates to prevent aggregate and edge defects and damage.
Anti skid road plates and steel road plates must be stored correctly when not in use. Failure to do so, will result in defects and damage – rendering your road plate unfit for purpose.
Road plates, whether that be steel or anti skid should be stowed in the following manner;
Road plates should be stacked neatly when not in use on a suitable, firm level surface
Road plates should be stacked on top of each other, with 4’ x 3’ battens in between each road plate
Road plates should be mechanically maneuvered using cranage or a forklift
Road plates should be regularly checked for damage or defects and kept in a dry area
Other tools, equipment and machinery should not be stored on top of, or leaning against road plates in storage – this will cause warping and damage over time
We also recommend road plates are kept in a secure, lockable area – ideally undercover to help preserve longevity and condition when stored.
Anti skid road plates should be stacked as detailed above, before being securely chained to the transport vehicle. Road plates must be securely fastened to prevent any movement and damage during transit. We strongly advise time is taken to correctly load and secure your road plates – steel edges of road plates can become easily bent, warped and damaged during transit.
