Aluminium treadplate, often called chequer plate or checker plate, is a highly versatile material known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and slip-resistant properties. Manufactured with a raised surface pattern, it provides enhanced grip underfoot, making it ideal for various industrial, commercial, and transport applications.

At IMS, we stock high-quality treadplate aluminium, including grade 5754 aluminium treadplate, which offers improved strength and corrosion resistance compared to standard grades. Our aluminium tread plate options are available in various thicknesses and sheet sizes to suit everything from flooring and walkways to vehicle cladding and protective surfaces.

Grade 5754 aluminium treadplate offers a robust solution for demanding applications, combining high strength with exceptional corrosion resistance. Its raised pattern provides superior slip resistance, enhancing safety in critical environments. Notable features include:

  • Superior corrosion resistance in marine and industrial settings.
  • High strength and durability, exceeding grade 5251.
  • Excellent slip resistance: the raised pattern provides safe footing in wet, oily, or hazardous conditions.
  • Lightweight yet strong: easier to handle and install compared to steel alternatives, without compromising strength.
  • Easy to fabricate: suitable for welding, cutting, and forming, allowing flexible use in different projects.
  • Low maintenance: resistant to staining and corrosion, requiring minimal upkeep over time.

Aluminium Treadplate FAQs

What is the difference between aluminium treadplates and standard sheet aluminium?

Standard sheet aluminium has a smooth surface and is typically used where appearance and light structural support are required. In contrast, an aluminium treadplate features a raised pattern, providing increased slip resistance and impact protection, making it more suitable for flooring, ramps, and protective surfaces.

How do I cut aluminium treadplates without damaging the pattern?

Aluminium treadplates can be cut using tools such as a jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade, a circular saw with appropriate settings, or a guillotine. To maintain a clean finish, it is important to use sharp blades and steady pressure during the cutting process.

Is an aluminium treadplate suitable for outdoor applications?

Yes, aluminium treadplates are highly resistant to corrosion, especially grade 5754, making it suitable for outdoor environments, including marine and coastal installations. Its low-maintenance properties make it ideal for long-term external use.

Can aluminium treadplate be welded?

Yes, treadplate aluminium is easily weldable. Grade 5754 aluminium offers excellent weldability, making it ideal for fabricators who need strong, seamless joints in structural or aesthetic applications.

How do I maintain aluminium tread plate surfaces?

Maintaining aluminium treadplate is straightforward. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient. For tougher stains or corrosion spots, specialised aluminium cleaners can be used without damaging the material’s surface.
