Plastic road plates can last for years. However, you will need to use them correctly. Otherwise, they may break or develop cracks if subjected to heavy loads on sharp bends like kerbs or railway sleepers.

How long do steel road plates last?

   Steel road plates can bend under very heavy loads. Fortunately, we can always roll them straight again. As long as they are not too deeply rusted, you will be able to use them for many decades

   What are the advantages of plastic road plates over steel road plates?

   The advantages of plastic road plates are as follows:

   1.Plastic road plates are lightweight, which makes them easier to move, transport and store.

   2.The single- or double-sided anti-slip tread makes vehicles less likely to skid.

   3.The plastic road plates of ATS-rijplaten are made from recycled plastic and are therefore sustainable. That means fewer kilos of raw material are used for production.

   4.As an option, you can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 handles milled in, making the plastic road plates easy to lift. For ergonomic lifting, you can use our handy tool, the Lifting hook.

   5.The price of plastic road plates is much lower than that of steel road plates. The price of steel road plates also fluctuates considerably along with the steel price.

    6.Your company logo and name can be milled into the A-quality and Premium HMPE plastic road plates. That gives them a professional look while reducing the risk of theft.

   7.Plastic road plates do not rust.

   What differences are there in the types of plastic road plates?

   We have three plastic road plate types: A-quality, Premium HMPE and Budget. All three are available in various sizes, thicknesses and anti-slip treads. Here are the main properties by type:

   A-quality: There are different sizes available, and the plates always retain shape. The road plates can be supplied with milled-in company logos and names.

   HMPE: These road plates are also available in different sizes. What sets them apart is that they can withstand very high weight loads and an uneven, jagged surface. This plate is ideal for laying on demolition rubble.

   Budget: These road plates are available in different sizes with a load-bearing capacity of up to 45 tonnes. It is not possible to mill in a company logo or name. However, they do feature a double-sided anti-slip tread (coarse and fine).
