- 84
As global construction, transportation, and industrial projects continue to expand, the demand for aluminum checker plates—also known as tread plates or diamond plates—is seeing a significant increase. According to Xuntai Aluminum, one of China’s leading manufacturers and exporters of aluminum sheet and coil products, orders for checker plates have grown steadily throughout 2025, especially in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
🌍 Growing Popularity in Flooring and Vehicle Applications
Aluminum checker plates are widely used for anti-slip flooring, vehicle steps, toolboxes, and decorative wall panels. Their lightweight yet durable nature makes them a superior alternative to traditional steel plates, particularly in environments where corrosion resistanceand easy maintenance are important.
In industrial facilities, warehouses, and ships, five-bar aluminum tread plates are commonly used for anti-slip surfaces. In transportation, they serve as flooring material for trucks, buses, and trailers. In addition, many architects and designers now use aluminum checker plates for interior decoration due to their modern metallic appearance.
