Aluminum Checker Plate
Aluminum Checker Plate, also known as tread plate or diamond plate, is a high-strength, non-slip metal sheet that is ideal for truck beds, ramps, stairs, walkways, and industrial floors. Aluminum Checker Plates are available in a variety of alloys and thicknesses to meet customer requirements for durability, ease of fabrication, and low maintenance.
Anti-Slip Functionality
Aluminum Checker Plate features raised patterns, such as five-bar or diamond designs, which offer exceptional slip resistance, particularly in environments exposed to moisture, oil, or debris.
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum Checker Plate naturally forms a protective oxide layer that provides outstanding resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for marine, industrial, and outdoor applications.
Lightweight Strength
Aluminum Checker Plate offers structural support and impact resistance while being significantly lighter than steel, which facilitates easier handling, installation, and transportation.

Pattern Type | Description | Protection | |
Willow leaf (2-bar and 5-bar tread plate) | Features two or five parallel raised bars arranged at a 45° angle to each other | Pattern height: 1.0mm±0.4mm Pattern length: 34-45mm, ±3.0mm |
Paper interleaved, PE/PVC filming (if specified) |
Diamond pattern (single-bar tread plate) | Raised diamond-shaped lines across the surface | Pattern height: 1.0mm, ±0.4mm Pattern length: 33mm, ±2.0mm |
Surface Protection | Waterproof Sealing | Securing and Palletizing |
The surface of the Aluminum Checker Plate is covered with a protective layer of polyethylene (PE) film, laser film, or oil to prevent oxidation and dirt accumulation. | Aluminum Checker Plates are securely wrapped in waterproof materials, including plastic film, shrink wrap, or waterproof kraft paper. Desiccants may be placed inside the packaging to prevent moisture buildup. | The wrapped Aluminum Checker Plates are securely strapped to wooden or metal pallets using durable steel or plastic bands, ensuring stability and safety in transit. |
