5754 Aluminium Chequer Plate Overview

Aluminium chequer plate, also known as tread plate or five-bar aluminium sheet, is designed to improve grip and surface durability while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

The raised pattern helps reduce slip risk, making it suitable for walkways, vehicle flooring, ramps, steps and protective surfaces. Aluminium also provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for damp or outdoor environments.

Available Sizes and Thicknesses

Available sheet sizes:

A note on sizing: These sheets are sometimes referred to as "8x4" in the trade, which traditionally refers to 8ft x 4ft (approximately 2440 x 1220mm). However, the sheets supplied by Rackerman are 2500 x 1250mm and 2000 x 1000mm — metric sizes commonly stocked by UK aluminium suppliers. Please order based on the metric dimensions stated. If you require the exact imperial 2440 x 1220mm size, please contact us before ordering.

Thickness options include 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm depending on the selected variant.

Please note: thickness is measured excluding the raised chequer pattern unless otherwise stated.
