Galvanised Checker Plate

Galvanised checker plate, also known as diamond plate or tread plate, is a steel plate with raised diamond or linear patterns on the surface. This design enhances the anti-slip properties. Its durability, corrosion resistance, and load-bearing capacity make it an ideal material for industrial, construction, and transportation applications. Wanzhi Steel specializes in the production of high-quality galvanized checkered plates. The patterns can be customized, and a variety of lengths, thicknesses, and widths are available.

What is galvanised checker plate?

Galvanized checker plate is a hot-dip galvanized steel plate with raised patterns (usually diamond-shaped) printed on the surface. A protective zinc layer is plated on the surface of the steel through the galvanizing process, which significantly improves its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It combines the advantages of galvanizing technology and pattern design, and has the characteristics of anti-slip, corrosion resistance, high strength, etc. It is widely used in industry, construction, transportation, and other fields.

Main Features

• Anti-slip: The diamond-shaped, round bean-shaped, and other patterns formed by rolling significantly increase friction, and can still maintain the anti-slip effect under humid, oily or low temperature conditions, which is suitable for high-risk workplaces.
• Strong corrosion resistance: Through hot-dip galvanizing or electro galvanizing process, a dense zinc layer is formed on the surface of the steel plate, which effectively isolates oxygen, moisture, and corrosive media.
• Long service life: The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes first to protect the substrate, which is suitable for corrosive environments such as coastal and chemical industries.
• High strength: Carbon steel is used as the substrate, with high tensile strength and yield strength, and can withstand heavy loads and impacts.
• Visual beauty: The pattern design is both decorative and can enhance the appearance and texture of buildings or equipment.
• Low maintenance cost: Corrosion resistance reduces the need for regular maintenance, and anti-slip design reduces the risk of accidents.

Weight calculation formula

There are two calculation methods here.

Calculate by volume

Weight (kg) = length × width × thickness × density 7.86Kg/m³.

 

Calculate by area

Weight (kg) = length × width × theoretical unit weight (kg/m²).
Note: The theoretical unit weight is the weight of 1 square meter of board. The unit weight of 2 mm thick diamond embossed board is about 16kg/m², and 3mm thick board is about 25kg/m².

Common Applications

Cross-industry Uses

1. Industrial field

• Platforms and walkways: factory workshops, oil platforms, and other work areas that require anti-slip.
• Equipment housing: mechanical housings, control cabinet, and other protective parts that require corrosion resistance.

2. Architectural field

• Stair treads: anti-slip stairs in public buildings and commercial places.
• Architectural decoration: applications that take into account both function and aesthetics, such as exterior wall decorative panels and awnings.

3. Transportation field

• Vehicle decks: truck compartments, ship decks, and other scenes that require load-bearing and anti-slip.
• Transportation facilities: bridge anti-skid plates, bus stop,s and other public transportation facilities.

4. Agriculture and animal husbandry

• Farming equipment: facilities that require corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, such as animal pen floors and feed troughs.
• Agricultural machinery: anti-slip covers for equipment such as harvesters and tractors.

5. Municipal engineering

• Drainage ditch covers: anti-slip and anti-theft covers for urban drainage systems.
• Public facilities: scenes with high durability requirements, such as park benches and trash can bases.

Recommended Board Thickness for Different Uses

1. Choose 4-8mm thickness
Factory workshops, oil platforms, logistics warehouses, and other areas that need to carry heavy machinery or frequent personnel traffic. Pattern height ≥1.5mm, diamond pattern spacing ≤50mm.
2. Choose 2.5-4mm thickness
Public buildings, commercial places, and residential stair treads. Pattern depth must be ≥1mm.
3. Choose 3-6mm thickness
Truck compartments, ship decks,and  container floors.
4. Choose 2-3mm thickness
Corral floors, feed troughs, and agricultural machinery protection.
5. Choose 3-5mm thickness
Drainage ditch covers, bus stops, and park trails.
6. Choose 0.8-2mm thickness ultra-thin boards
Interior decoration, equipment housing, and non-load-bearing partitions.

Manufacturing process

There are two different production processes.

1. Rolling by rolling mill

This kind of checker plate is flat on one side and the other side is embossed.. It is often used in the chemical industry, railway vehicles, platforms, and other occasions where strength is required.

2. Mechanical stamping

Another type of non-galvanized checker plate is made of hot-rolled or cold-rolled galvanized steel plate, which is made by mechanical stamping. One side is concave and the other side is convex. It is often used for decorative purposes.

Galvanised Checker Plate Manufacturer- Wanzhi Steel

Galvanised checkered plate is a must-have material for industries that require durable, non-slip, and anti-corrosion surfaces.

• At Wanzhi Steel, we stock a complete range of galvanized steel checkered plates and coils. As a wholesale supplier, we offer checkered plates in different sizes, zinc layers and pattern designs.
• Compared with stainless steel, galvanized steel has excellent mechanical properties. Moreover, it is more cost-effective than other types of metals.
• If you are looking for an affordable solution, galvanized steel will be a better choice. Stainless steel checkered plates are more corrosion-resistant and suitable for more demanding projects.
• With the most affordable prices, the fastest delivery time, and rich export experience, our products have been put into use in more than 120 countries.
