How many steel plates do I need for a stabilized entry, stabilized exit?

Standard track out plates and track out grates are 8’ wide x 10’ long. A 10’ wide entry will require three for proper track out control. An entry of 20’ wide will require six. A correct stabilized entry / exit will have at least 30’ of track out control.  This can often times be supplemented with aggregate depending on your specific project.  Give Extreme Plates a call today to discuss your specific needs.

 

How much are shaker plates?

Can I use plastic FODs instead of steel Extreme Plates?
