The recommended minimum vehicle clearance is 150mm, and a maximum speed of 5mph is advised when driving over the plates - suitable road signs should be erected to inform drivers of the flow plates and to enforce a slow speed limit
It is important to note that these Ground Submerged Flow Plates are not recommended for use with vehicles exceeding one tonne per axle or Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs).
We recommend a staggered installation layout rather than a straight line. Staggering the plates distributes vehicle loading more effectively, reducing wear and tear, especially for heavier vehicles. Proper layout helps maintain performance and extends the lifespan of your plates. To maximise the life of your Flow Plates, vehicles should drive over the product in a straight line as demonstrated in diagram above. Vehicles turning on the Flow Plates can cause excessive discomfort to the passengers and will also damage the Flow Plates, springs, fixings and can affect the position on the surface.
For safety reasons we recommend using speed ramps placed before the flow plates - To purchase suitable & recommended speed ramps please click HERE
