HGV Traffic Control Flow Plate

Our Flow Plate for Traffic Control is a robust and heavy-duty solution designed to manage vehicle flow effectively in high-traffic areas

Suitable for both HGVs and cars, this product features alternating black and yellow sections for enhanced visibility, ensuring optimal traffic management

The traffic control plate is meticulously engineered to promote mono-directional traffic flow while deterring unauthorised access by vehicles entering areas via the wrong direction

Constructed from robust heavy steel plate, it is equipped with a sophisticated in-built counterbalance or heavy-duty spring action mechanism, ensuring it returns to its upright position after a vehicle passes over it

Its yellow or black finish not only enhances visibility but also provides a speed ramp effect, further aiding traffic control efforts

Our flow plates can be installed on both tarmac and concrete surfaces - For tarmac surface fitting, rubber expanding bolts are recommended, Concrete surface fitting requires the laying of a concrete raft to provide a stable foundation for the flow plates

Tarmac Surface Fitting Instructions:

1. Preparation: Ensure the asphalt surface is older than 6 months and has a crust of asphalt depth of 50mm or greater. For newly laid tarmac, a concrete raft should be laid with concrete fixings used
2. Placement: Set out all flow plates on the tarmac in the desired position
3. Drilling: Mark out holes for all plates on the tarmac surface. Remove all plates and drill holes to the full depth (100mm). Do not fit any plates until all surface holes are drilled out
4. Fixing: Fit the rubber fixing to the underside of each plate using the steel bolt, tightening by hand
5. Installation: Lay all plates over the holes and gently tap them to slot the rubber fixings into place using a mallet or similar tool
6. Final Fixing: Once all plates are in position, tighten them with an impact driver or socket. Avoid over-tightening the fixings

Important Notes:

• The rubber plugs and fixing bolts should be fitted to the product prior to being dropped into location to save time
• Ensure plates are aligned correctly using a string line

Tools and Equipment Required:

1. Robust drill capable of handling a 24mm masonry drill bit
2. 24mm masonry drill bit
3. 19mm spanner or impact driver with a 19mm socket
4. String line to ensure plates are aligned correctly

Concrete Surface Fitting Instructions:
Where tarmac surface conditions are inadequate, it's recommended to lay a concrete raft for the flow plates to be installed onto
