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.
