The lightweight 3003 chequered aluminium plate has good corrosion and wear resistance, and is widely used for top walkways and steps in oil tankers, platforms.

The 3003 H14/H32 chequered aluminium plate is a high-performance material combining corrosion resistance, workability, and anti-slip functionality.

The chequered aluminium plate is also named aluminum checkered plate , aluminium tread plate or aluminum diamond plate, the front side of the plate is always has some pattern or ribbed, like one bar, three bar, five bar plate, the backside is a smooth surface.

3003 H14 or 3003 H32 chequered aluminium plate manufactured by Top Metal / RAYIWELL are popular tread plate for USA and Canada market, because of its excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and moderate strength . It is widely used in marine, automotive, and architectural applications.

3003 Aluminum alloy is the most widely used of all aluminum alloys. It is essentially commercially pure aluminum with the addition of Manganese which increases strength some 20% over 1100. With excellent corrosion resistance and workability it can be deep drawn or spun, welded or brazed.

There are some difference between 3003 H14 and 3003 H32 tread plate

  • Tensile Strength: 130–165 MPa (H14) | 125–150 MPa (H32) .
  • Yield Strength: ≥110 MPa (H14) | Slightly lower than H14 but with better stress relaxation .
  • Elongation: 4–6% (H14) | Slightly higher than H14 due to stabilization treatment .
  • Hardness: 45–55 HB (annealed), increasing to 60–70 HB after H14/H32 processing .

3003 Chequered aluminium plates are usually used for the top walkway and door steps of tank trucks. The chequered aluminium plate has good anti-slip performance and decorative effect, and is suitable for places where walking is required. They provide a safe non-slip surface for operators to walk on in wet or slippery environments.

In addition, the aluminum checker plate also has a lower weight, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the tanker.

More application of 3003 H14 / H32 Chequered aluminium plate

  • Industrial Flooring: Truck beds, walkways, and machinery platforms requiring anti-slip surfaces .
  • Transportation: Cabin flooring, toolboxes, and structural components in marine and automotive sectors .
  • Architectural: Decorative panels, stair treads, and signage due to its corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal .
  • Refrigeration: Cold storage units and refrigerated vehicles, leveraging its thermal conductivity and moisture resistance .
