Common Uses
5754 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 and high-traffic industrial use. Choose aluminium for weight saving and corrosion resistance, or steel durbar where load-bearing strength is the priority.
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 for mainland UK, with a maximum of 10 working days to remote areas. Mainland UK delivery only. Larger sheets may require assistance with unloading depending on order size.

What grade is your aluminium chequer plate?
Our aluminium chequer plate is supplied in 5754 grade aluminium (H114 temper) with a raised five-bar tread pattern. 5754 offers excellent corrosion resistance, good strength and reliable weldability.
What is the difference between aluminium chequer plate and steel durbar plate?
Aluminium chequer plate is significantly lighter and naturally corrosion-resistant, ideal for vehicle, marine and weight-sensitive applications. Steel durbar plate is stronger and heavier, better for heavy-duty structural flooring. Choose aluminium for weight saving, steel durbar for load-bearing strength.
Can aluminium chequer plate be cut and welded?
Yes - it can be cut, drilled, shaped and fabricated using standard metalworking tools, and its natural corrosion resistance means no protective coating is needed for most applications.
