Protect Roads and Crews with Steel Trench Plates
Road plates are used to cover open excavations, allowing traffic or equipment to safely cross over trenches. In many Rhode Island cities, these plates are required by law for any trench that crosses public pavement or pedestrian areas.
Steel trench plates provide:
- A strong surface bridge over active trenches
- Compliance with local road safety codes
- Reduced downtime for active road cuts
- Safer passage for vehicles, pedestrians, and crews
These plates are commonly used in utility installation, road repair, and temporary site access. Their strength and ease of placement make them essential for trench safety and jobsite continuity.

We offer a range of standard-size steel road plates to accommodate different jobsite needs. All equipment is cleaned and inspected before delivery.
