Spreader Plate questions

What does a spreader plate do?

It controls how thermoplastic material is laid down — the width of the line and the thickness of the film — so the marking is even from start to finish.

Will it fit my applicator?

The sleeve mounting fits standard applicator handles. Send us the make of your applicator or a photo and we will confirm.

How long does a plate last?

Plates wear against the road surface, so they are a consumable. Ours are machined from hard-wearing material for daily site use, and we keep replacements available.

Can you make a plate to a specific line width?

Yes. We machine and fabricate them ourselves, so tell us the line width you need and we will quote it.
