Bobco Metals 6×6 Hot Rolled Steel Base Plate 1/4 Inch Thick Pack of 4

Description

Product Overview

The Bobco Metals 6″ x 6″ hot rolled steel base plate is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Made from structural‑grade hot rolled steel, each plate measures 1/4″ thick and weighs 2.25 lb, providing a solid foundation for loads and equipment. The smooth, stained‑grey finish resists corrosion and serves as an excellent surface for painting, ensuring long‑term durability. Four precisely placed ½” diameter holes at each corner simplify installation and allow for secure anchoring.

Usage

These plates excel as base plates for heavy machinery, road plates for temporary traffic control, trench coverings, and protective pads in construction sites. Their compact size and generous surface area distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points on underlying surfaces. Ideal for contractors, maintenance crews, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, reusable steel platform.

FAQ

Can I paint the steel plate?

Yes, the smooth grey surface is designed for painting. Apply a rust‑inhibiting primer followed by a topcoat for optimal protection.

What is the load capacity of each plate?

While exact capacity depends on load distribution, the 1/4″ thick structural steel typically supports several hundred pounds when evenly spread.

Are additional hole patterns available?

Standard plates come with four corner holes. Custom drilling can be arranged through our technical support team for an additional fee.

How many plates are included in the pack?

Each package contains four identical 6″ x 6″ plates, allowing you to cover larger areas or keep spares on hand.

Is the steel rust‑proof?

The steel is not stainless, but the hot‑rolled finish resists corrosion. For outdoor or wet environments, we recommend applying a protective coating.
