Common Types of Chequered Plates
HL Metal offers several material options so you can select the most suitable chequered plate or tread plate for your application, balancing weight, corrosion resistance and cost.
- Steel Chequered Plate: Durable, heavy-duty and impact-resistant; ideal for industrial floors, machine platforms, staircases and loading docks.
- Mild Steel Chequered Plate: Cost-effective and easy to weld; perfect for general-purpose checker plate flooring, fabrication and retrofitting projects.
- Galvanized Chequered Plate: Zinc-coated for high corrosion resistance; suitable for outdoor, marine and coastal environments where long-term protection is critical.
- Aluminum Chequered Plate: Lightweight and naturally corrosion- resistant; commonly used in transport vehicles, trailers, steps, ramps and architectural features where weight saving is important.
- Hot Rolled Chequered Plate: Produced by controlled hot rolling; combines a robust surface with reliable mechanical properties for demanding anti-slip steel floor plate applications.
Advantages of Using Chequered Plate
Chequered plate and tread plate offer multiple functional and economic benefits, making them a preferred solution for anti-slip floor systems and heavy-duty access areas.
- Anti-Slip Performance: Raised patterns significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet, oily or contaminated environments such as workshops, engine rooms and service platforms.
- High Load-Bearing Capacity: Despite relatively low weight per m², checker plates provide excellent stiffness and strength, handling substantial loads without excessive deformation.
- Versatile Customization: Available in various thicknesses, sheet sizes, patterns and finishes, chequered plate can be tailored to almost any floor or stair design.
- Corrosion Resistance: When produced as galvanized chequered plate or from aluminum, tread plates offer enhanced resistance to rust and weathering in harsh conditions.
- Easy Fabrication: The base materials are suitable for cutting, drilling, welding and bending, ensuring seamless integration into new builds and refurbishment projects.

Tread Plate, Steel Chequered Plate, Mild Steel Chequered Plate, Galvanized Chequered Plate, Hot Rolled Chequered Plate
Tread plates are widely favored across diverse industries due to their functional and mechanical advantages. Here are some of the most common application areas:
Industrial Stair Treads and Walkways
The anti-slip properties of chequered plates make them ideal for manufacturing industrial staircases, platforms, and catwalks in factories, warehouses, and production facilities. The raised pattern provides extra grip, reducing the risk of accidents in high-traffic areas.
Transportation and Vehicles
Tread plates are extensively used in the construction of truck beds, trailers, and loading ramps. Their durable, impact-resistant surface can withstand heavy-duty operations and constant wear, making them indispensable in the transport sector.
Marine and Shipbuilding
Ships and marine vessels utilize chequered plates on decks, walkways, and gangways where moisture and slippery conditions are common. The embossed surface ensures crew safety and adds structural reinforcement to ship components.
Construction and Architecture
Beyond functional use, chequered plates are increasingly incorporated into architectural designs. From decorative wall panels to flooring solutions in commercial buildings, these plates add both visual appeal and practical benefits.
Machinery and Industrial Equipment
Machine bases, protective covers, and platforms in manufacturing plants frequently use chequered plates for their robustness and ease of maintenance.
Superior Quality, Versatile Applications, and Unmatched Durability
Also known as tread plates, are highly durable steel sheets embossed with a regular pattern of raised diamonds or lines on one side. This textured surface not only enhances the plate’s aesthetic appeal but, more importantly, provides excellent anti-slip properties, making it an essential material across various industrial, architectural, and transportation sectors.
Manufactured in top-grade materials such as ST37 and S235JR, tread plates are engineered to meet both local and international quality standards. With thicknesses ranging from 1.50 mm to 10.00 mm, widths between 1000 mm and 1500 mm, and customizable lengths up to 6000 mm, these plates can be tailored precisely to meet specific project requirements. Whether you need standard sizes or custom cuts, tread plates deliver unmatched versatility and performance.
