Why should I choose Flow Plates?

Directional flow plate ramps are designed to slow vehicles and encourage the flow of one-way traffic. Commonly used in car parks, private residential areas and industrial estates, they discourage drivers from exiting or reversing through an entrance.

Directional flow plate ramps retract below ground level when a vehicle is approaching and access control unit providing safe access or authorised vehicles.

All vehicles can drive over the lowered Flow Plate.

The units are finished as powder coated yellow with the 'teeth' and rotating mechanism galvanised to ensure long life.

They can be supplied with a sloping 'end' unit pair, each 250mm long, which is attached as an alternative to the standard square end. There are no spikes in the 'end' unit.

When the vehicle has passed, the teeth return to the active position, ensuring a deterrent from unauthorised vehicle intrusion from the wrong side.

Built for heavy-duty use, they accommodate all vehicles, from cars to HGVs. These surface-mounted one-way traffic control flow plate are made of steel with a durable chequered plate surface for added strength. The yellow finish, along with highly reflective red cat's eyes, ensures visibility in all weather conditions. 

The plates are easy to install with 4 fixing holes provided per plate and single per inter-lockable end cap to allow this to be easily secured with our universal fixings supplied with these into tarmac or concrete surface. Installation and maintenance details can be found here: Installation Guide
