The Surface Mounted Flow Plate is perfect for creating one-way directional traffic. Most commonly used for entrances and exits on car parks and one-way roads but is also a perfect solution for stopping drivers using roads as a cut through.

This Surface Mounted Flow Plate is the first and original design of surface mounted flow plate, manufactured for over 25 years it was designed to offer many advantages over the sunken design. Eliminating the inconvenience of digging holes and piercing roads surfaces. Their simple bolt down installation, creates and easy yet effective traffic control solution. Additionally, unlike the sunken flow plate, these can be used on upper levels in multi-storey car parks, as the damp membrane risk, is substantially reduced.

If you are wondering if this Flow plate is suitable for vehicles with low ground clearance like some sports cars, it is, but we recommend for these types of vehicles to ensure safety that speed reducing ramps are used in conjunction that are 5cm high. For compatibility either purchase with combination bundles now or if you prefer to buy later see this link which shows the speed ramp range on its own: Speed Ramp Kits

Note too, this model flow plate is not suitable for HGV's as the maximum load tolerance is one tonne per axle. But if you need HGV Suitability please click: HERE

Can I lock the plates down for emergency vehicles?

The Flow plate Locking bar is available to temporarily lock the plates down to allow two-way traffic such as, emergency vehicles to gain access from both directions. We do advise that these are only a temporary measure and must not be used as a permanent fixture.
