Industrial Checkered Plate
Heavy-duty traction for demanding surfaces
Our safety tread program encompasses two engineered families: raised-pattern checkered plate (diamond, two-bar, or five-bar ridges rolled directly into the plate surface for heavy-duty multi-directional grip) and perforated anti-slip plate (sheet metal punched into raised fish-eye or crocodile-mouth openings to combine high-traction footing with rapid drainage and ventilation). Both solutions deliver dependable slip resistance and structural durability across industrial walkways, access platforms, vehicle running boards, and hazardous stairways.
- Cold or hot rolled uniform traction surface
- Multi-directional anti-slip traction; slip resistance confirmed per project
- Processing options can be coordinated through selected in-house production or partner factories, subject to project requirements and confirmation.

Applicable standards
Listed as reference standards only, never certificates held by MutualMetal. The applicable standard, material grade, and documentation are confirmed per product and project.
GB/T 33974, ASTM A786/A786M, and DIN 59220 cover hot-rolled patterned steel plate with different pattern designations and units; ASTM B632/B632M covers aluminum alloy tread plate. Punched anti-slip profile plates (such as fish-eye and crocodile-mouth profiles) are punched/formed sheets outside these hot-rolled standards. Slip resistance is confirmed per project.
