Bearing Plates

Bearing plates are structural steel plates designed to distribute concentrated loads across a wider surface area. Commonly installed beneath beams, posts, sill plates, and structural members, bearing plates help prevent wood crushing and ensure proper load transfer into concrete, masonry, or supporting framing components.

At Fasteners Plus, we stock high-quality bearing plates engineered for dependable performance in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Whether you're supporting a structural beam or reinforcing a foundation connection, bearing plates provide the strength and stability your project demands.

What Are Bearing Plates Used For?

When heavy loads are applied to a small surface area, the risk of material compression and structural failure increases. Bearing plates solve this problem by spreading the load evenly across a larger footprint.

  • Post & Column Support: Distribute loads at the base of structural posts.
  • Beam Bearing Applications: Prevent crushing at beam-to-concrete or beam-to-masonry connections.
  • Sill Plate Reinforcement: Improve load distribution between framing and foundation.
  • Concrete & Masonry Installations: Enhance anchor performance and structural stability.

Why Use Structural Bearing Plates?

  • Improved Load Distribution: Reduces point loading and compression damage.
  • Increased Structural Safety: Strengthens critical support connections.
  • Durable Steel Construction: Built for demanding load conditions.
  • Multiple Sizes & Thicknesses: Designed to accommodate various project requirements.
  • Code-Compliant Performance: Suitable for structural applications when installed per design specifications.

Built for Contractors & Builders

Professional contractors rely on bearing plates for structural framing, foundation work, steel-to-wood transitions, and load-bearing installations. DIY builders use them to reinforce deck posts, pergolas, and other heavy-load applications where added support is essential.

With thousands of structural connectors and reinforcement products in stock, Fasteners Plus ensures fast shipping and dependable availability. Orders placed before 4:00 PM CST ship the same day from our centrally located distribution centers.
