Checker Plate Fabrication
What is Checker Plate?
Checker plate, also known as chequer plate, tread plate or durbar plate, is a type of metal sheet with a raised pattern of diamond-shaped projections on its surface. The pattern provides increased traction and slip resistance, making it ideal for applications where safety and durability are paramount. The pattern is also very resilient making it a choice for taxes and enclosures as well.
Advantages of Checker Plate for Fabrication
-
Slip Resistance: The raised pattern on checker plate provides excellent grip, making it suitable for flooring and stair treads in industrial, commercial, and outdoor settings where slip resistance is essential.
-
Durability: Checker plate is made from robust materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, or mild steel, making it highly durable and resistant to corrosion, impact, and wear.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional benefits, checker plate adds a distinctive and visually appealing texture to surfaces, making it a popular choice for architectural and decorative applications.
-
Versatility: Checker plate is versatile and can be fabricated into various products such as panels, covers, cladding, and vehicle decking, serving a wide range of purposes across different industries.
-
Easy Maintenance: Its rugged surface is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep to keep it looking its best.
Great uses for Checker Plate
Checker Plate Flooring:
-
Checker plate is commonly used as flooring in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, refrigeration units and industrial workshops due to its slip-resistant surface, providing a safe working environment for employees.
Checker Plate Stair treads
-
Checker plate stair treads offer enhanced grip and traction, making them ideal for staircases in manufacturing facilities where workers need to navigate safely between different levels.
Platform Checker Plate Walkways:
-
Checker plate is often used to create durable safe walkways and platforms for accessing machinery, equipment, and elevated areas within manufacturing plants.
Catwalks and Mezzanine Checker Plate Floors:
-
Checker plate is used to construct catwalks and mezzanines, providing elevated platforms for maintenance, inspection, and monitoring of manufacturing processes.
Vehicle Decks and Loading Docks:
-
Checker plate is employed on loading docks to provide a durable and non-slip surface for loading and unloading materials, equipment, and products. It is also suitable for trucks, trailers, and forklifts within manufacturing facilities, providing a robust and slip-resistant surface for transporting goods and machinery.
Checker Plate Accessibility ramps
-
If ramps are needed to provide safer accessibility for the disabled or to bridge a step for easier movement of trollies or equipment - then checker plate is a fantastic material to use to reduce slipping.
Checker Plate Benches, Workstations & Racking:
- Checker plate is utilised for tool benches and workstations, offering a durable and easy-to-clean surface for assembly, repair, and maintenance tasks. Checker plate shelves and racks provide sturdy and corrosion-resistant storage solutions for organising materials, tools, and products in manufacturing environments and lining trolley surfaces with checker plate makes them last longer.
Checker Plate Cladding and Panelling:
-
Checker plate is used as decorative wall cladding and panelling in manufacturing facilities, adding a modern and industrial aesthetic while offering durability and easy maintenance.
