Why Choose KUNDEL’s Composite Road Plates?

✅ Lightweight & Easy to Handle

Significantly lighter than steel, our composite plates simplify transport and installation, reducing labor costs and minimizing worker strain. Designed to replace steel plates and wooden boards, they offer a hand-installable solution, making excavation coverage quick and quiet.

✅ Built to Last

Don’t let the weight fool you—these plates are tough. Tested to ensure a 2:1 safety factor, our LowPro range is designed for longevity with minimal maintenance costs. Built to withstand heavy traffic and harsh job site conditions, they provide a durable, long-lasting solution.

✅ Enhanced Safety

Lighter plates mean safer handling, reducing the risk of injuries. Their non-conductive properties make them ideal for utility and electrical projects, ensuring the safety of both workers and residents. Additionally, their slip-resistant design provides a stable surface for vehicles and pedestrians.

✅ Versatile for Any Project

From small sinkholes to large utility trenches, KUNDEL road plates ensure safety and minimal traffic disruption for temporary excavations.
Ideal for:

  • 🏗 Residential & Commercial Construction
  • 🛣 Infrastructure Projects

✅ Perfect for Municipal Projects

In busy city environments, efficiency is key. Our composite road plates streamline installation, reduce road closures, and minimize disruption—making them a smart choice for municipalities and contractors.

Another major benefit? Noise reduction. Unlike steel, plastic road plates dampen vibrations and lower noise levels from passing vehicles—perfect for urban areas and residential neighborhoods.
