Are your Steel Road Plates Slippery When Wet?

OmniGrip Direct’s High-Friction Surface Treatment for Trafficked Steel Road Plates is a game changer for rider safety.

OmniGrip Direct is the leading provider of high-friction surface treatments for skid-resistant steel plates, with its long-established calcined bauxite coating product meeting the requirements of the new Victorian State Specification, ‘Section 767’.

Preparation of Standard Section 767 was funded by Victoria’s Motorcycle Safety Levy. The project description was ‘to mandate the use of skid-resistant temporary metal plates when temporarily covering road openings, reducing the risks riders face when they travel over these plates.’

“Slippery steel road plates are a real hazard for riders and pedestrians,” said Justin Strunk, National General Manager for OmniGrip Direct. “Our high-friction surface treatment significantly reduces the risk of slipping and skidding, which can lead to serious crashes and injuries.”

“Wet steel road plates hold water on their surface long, even after it has stopped raining and the surrounding road surface has dried back.  The texture of OmniGrip Direct’s high-friction surface treatment improves grip even when the plate remains wet.”

OmniGrip Direct’s high-friction surface treatment is a durable, long-lasting coating that is applied to steel plates. The coating is designed to provide excellent grip, even in wet conditions.

“We are committed to providing products that improve safety on roads and paths,” said Justin. “When applied to the steel road plates used across Victoria on construction projects and utility works, our high-friction surface treatment will make a real difference for riders and pedestrians in Melbourne.”

OmniGrip Direct’s high-friction surface treatment for steel road plates is applicable to both public roads and footpaths, making it a valuable tool for both State and private contractor works.
