The Lock-N-Lift system sets the standard for road plate handling on civil and construction sites. Designed around worker safety from the ground up, it eliminates the need to place hands, feet, or tools under a plate at any stage — including during installation.

⚠️The lifting tool is sold separately.
📦 Choose Your Installation Option
⭐ RECOMMENDED
Fitted by us — welded before dispatch
The #500F receiver plate is welded flush into your road plate at our Sydney facility before it ships. Nothing to install on site — arrives ready to use. Sits level with the plate surface, no raised edges, no trip hazard.
DIY OPTION
Plate only — weld yourself
#500F receiver plate supplied loose. Welding must be carried out by a qualified welder to AS 1554.1:2014 SP or AS 1554.5:2014. Full weld procedure included — download the Townley installation guide.
📐 For plates 3m or longer: Two receiver plates and a spreader bar are recommended. Position each plate at the one-third point along the longest dimension.

⚠️ Vertical straight line lifting only. Do not drag, pull, push or side-load. Exceeding the WLL or misuse will void the warranty and the working load limit will become unknown.
⚙️ How the System Works
Dovetail locking connection
The lifting tool engages via a dovetail mechanism — no bolts, no chains through holes, no hands near the plate edge.
Elongated eye for rigging
Accepts chain slings, hooks, or shackles — compatible with standard lifting equipment already on site.
Weld-in installation
Welded directly into the road plate per the supplied weld procedure. Becomes a permanent, flush part of the plate.
No trip hazard
Sits flush with the plate surface when fitted — no raised edges, nothing protruding above the plate.
🔩 Construction & Quality
Forged, not cast
Forging eliminates porosity that makes cast fittings a liability in high-load applications. Grain-aligned for maximum impact resistance.
AISI 4340 Chrome Moly steel
Normalized, quenched and tempered — the same alloy used in aerospace and heavy structural applications.
Licensed manufacture
Produced under licence from Townley, the original patent holder — full design compliance, not an imitation product.

Independently tested and certified to Australian standards. WLL and batch ID marked on every plate.
