Raised diamond-lug plate for high-traction surfaces
Choose rolled carbon steel, stainless steel 304/316, or aluminum plates built for secure footing and clean architectural lines.
Angled diamond pattern provides equal grip across lateral and longitudinal directional slip paths.
Continuous flat base channels speed up sweeping, power-washing, and chemical washdown cycles.
Rolled lugs remain ductile for 90-degree brake bending and punch operations without cracking.
Self-cleaning continuous channels direct liquid runoff away from contact points.
