Road/Crossing Plates for Rent

United Rentals has one of the largest inventories of steel road plates for rent, in sizes ranging from plates 5 feet by 8 feet to plates 10 feet by 20 feet. Rest assured that we can cover more ground to fit your project needs. Made from ASTM A-36 steel, our road plates are safe and durable for traffic and pedestrians, and they are outfitted with either a quick-connect lifter or screw-in style lifter, leaving no protrusions above the plate surface. We also offer screws, ramps and beams to make your road work safe. Choose between skid-resistant surfaces for non-slippery jobsites or untreated road plates depending on the project. Cover and protect your ground excavations or broken road projects safely with the best quality road plates for rent from United Rentals.

FAQs About Road Crossing Plates

What is a road plate?

  • A road plate is a large, flat surface that provides temporary covering over streets, allowing the flow of pedestrians and traffic to remain unbothered. Road plates can allow heavy machinery to pass over potholes and rough terrain, protecting the jobsite and preventing damage to equipment.

How heavy is a steel road plate?

  • Steel road plate weights can vary based on the size and thickness of the plate. Plates that are 1 to 2 inches thick and around 5 feet by 8 feet can weigh approximately 1,650 pounds while plates that are 8 by 20 feet can weigh a little more than 6,500 pounds.

What is the formula to calculate road plate weight?

  • A basic and easy formula to find the weight of a road plate is weight = width X length X thickness X density.
