Checkered plates

Checkered plates, also known as diamond plates or tread plates, feature a pattern of raised diamonds or other shapes on their surface. This design provides enhanced traction and slip resistance, making them ideal for various applications.

Grades:

1. IS 2062:
   • E250, E350: Standard grades for structural applications in India, also applicable for checkered plates.
2. ASTM A786:
   • Grade 36: Common grade used for checkered plates, offering good strength and durability.
3. BS 4360:
   • Grade 43A: Provides structural steel with good performance for checkered plates.

Sizes:

• Thickness: Typically ranges from 3 mm to 12 mm
• Width: Commonly available in widths from 1000 mm to 2000 mm
• Length: Typically available in lengths from 2000 mm to 6000 mm

Applications:

1. Industrial Flooring: Provides a non-slip surface for walkways, ramps, and loading docks.
2. Automotive: Used in vehicle floors and steps for added grip and safety.
3. Construction: Employed in platforms, stair treads, and other structural elements where slip resistance is required.

Checkered plates are valued for their durability, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications where safety and performance are critical.
