Our aluminium chequer plate is supplied in 5754 grade with a raised five-bar tread pattern for anti-slip grip. Available in 2000x1000mm and 2500x1250mm (8x4ft) sheets, in thicknesses from 1.5mm to 6mm. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy to fabricate, with a 3-5 working day lead time to mainland UK.

Aluminium Chequer Plate – 5754 Five Bar Tread Plate

Our aluminium chequer plate (also known as tread plate or five-bar plate) is supplied in 5754 grade aluminium with a raised five-bar anti-slip pattern. Available in two sheet sizes — 2000x1000mm and 2500x1250mm (8x4ft) — across thicknesses from 1.5mm to 6mm. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and widely used for flooring, ramps, vehicle lining, kick plates and decorative applications, with a 3-5 working day lead time to mainland UK addresses.

Available Sizes and Thicknesses

2000x1000mm — available in 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm. From £99.99 per sheet.

2500x1250mm (8x4ft) — available in 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm. From £134.99 per sheet.

Thickness refers to the base sheet, measured excluding the raised tread pattern.

Material Grade

Our chequer plate is supplied in 5754 grade aluminium (H114 temper). 5754 offers excellent corrosion resistance, good strength and reliable weldability, making it well suited to transport, marine, flooring and industrial use. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments with minimal maintenance.

Common Uses

Aluminium chequer plate is widely used for trailer and van floors, vehicle lining, toolboxes, loading ramps, stair treads, kick plates, wall and corner protection, workshop and garage flooring, shop fitting and decorative interior applications. Its low weight relative to steel makes it ideal where weight saving and corrosion resistance matter.

Aluminium Chequer Plate vs Steel Durbar Plate

Aluminium chequer plate is significantly lighter than steel and naturally corrosion-resistant, making it the right choice for vehicle, marine, decorative and weight-sensitive applications. Mild steel durbar plate is stronger and heavier, better suited to heavy-duty structural flooring, loading ramps and high-traffic industrial use. If load-bearing strength is the priority, steel durbar is usually the correct material; if weight saving and corrosion resistance matter more, choose aluminium.

Cutting and Fabrication

Aluminium chequer plate can be cut, drilled, shaped and fabricated using standard metalworking tools. It is lighter and easier to handle than steel of equivalent size, and requires no protective coating for most applications thanks to its natural corrosion resistance.

Delivery Information

Lead times are currently 3-5 working days to mainland UK addresses, with a maximum of 10 working days to remote areas. Larger sheets may require assistance with unloading depending on order size. Contact us for a custom quote on bulk or trade quantities.

FAQ

What is the difference between aluminium chequer plate and steel durbar plate?

Aluminium chequer plate is significantly lighter than steel and naturally corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for vehicle, marine, decorative and weight-sensitive applications. Mild steel durbar plate is stronger and heavier, better suited to heavy-duty structural flooring, loading ramps and high-traffic industrial use. Choose aluminium for weight saving and corrosion resistance, or steel durbar where load-bearing strength is the priority.

Can aluminium chequer plate be cut and welded?

Yes — aluminium chequer plate can be cut, drilled, shaped and fabricated using standard metalworking tools. It is lighter and easier to handle than steel of equivalent size, and its natural corrosion resistance means no protective coating is needed for most applications.
