Hook On Square Plate
Hook on square plates for securely mounting field gates and timber gates while allowing easy gate removal for maintenance and access.
What is a hook on square plate?
A hook on square plate is a heavy duty gate fixing designed to support field gate bands and allow gates to be lifted on and off when required. Commonly used on agricultural gates, timber field gates, and driveway gates, they provide a strong and reliable hanging point for gate installations.
The square fixing plate mounts securely to timber posts or gate structures, while the hook supports the gate band and hinge arrangement.
Easy gate removal for maintenance
Hook on square plates allow gates to be removed quickly without dismantling the entire hinge setup. This makes them ideal for gates that may need regular maintenance, repair, or seasonal removal.
As a result, they are widely used on farms, paddocks, agricultural entrances, and rural properties.
Can hook on square plates prevent gate removal?
Yes. When installed upside down, the hook arrangement prevents the gate from being lifted off. This provides additional security and helps reduce unwanted gate removal or unauthorised access.
Therefore, they offer both convenience and flexibility depending on the installation method used.
Hot dipped galvanised finish
This range features a hot dipped galvanised finish for excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. The protective coating helps defend against rust and weather exposure, making the fitting suitable for long term agricultural and external use.
As a result, they are ideal for gates exposed to rain, mud, and changing weather conditions.
