Lee Jensen Sales maintains one of the largest inventories of steel road plates in the Midwest, providing essential site access and trench coverage for municipalities and utility contractors. Available in sizes ranging from 4′ x 4′ to 8′ x 20′, our A-36 steel plates are engineered with flush-mounted pick points for balanced handling and easy installation without protrusions. These plates are critical for maintaining traffic flow over open excavations and protecting underground utilities from heavy vehicular loads. To ensure job site safety and compliance, we provide comprehensive tabulated data for all our street plates, helping you determine the correct thickness and overlap required for your specific road speeds and load-bearing needs.
For projects requiring superior ground protection or temporary access over unstable terrain, we offer advanced composite matting and turf protection solutions. Our inventory includes AlturnaMATS and VersaMATS, which feature slip-resistant tread designs that support vehicles up to 120 tons while virtually eliminating damage to lawns, landscaped areas, and soft soil. These rugged, interlocking mats are an environmentally friendly alternative to plywood, providing a stable “instant roadway” that won’t warp or rot. Whether you need a massive fleet of steel plates for a city street project or clear composite mats for a sensitive landscape job, our locations in Crystal Lake and Mokena offer these products for both sale and rental, with flexible rent-to-purchase options available to suit your long-term equipment strategy.
