This 1/2" x 48" x 120" hot rolled diamond plate is manufactured from durable A36 steel, conforming to ASTM A786 standards. It combines a robust 58,000 PSI tensile strength with a functional, slip-resistant surface, making it ideal for high-traffic industrial applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A786 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Durability
Hot rolled diamond plate, also known as floor plate, is produced from A36 structural steel for a combination of strength, formability, and functional slip resistance. It conforms to ASTM A786 for pattern and A36 for material properties. The hot rolling process gives it a durable mill scale finish, making it suited for demanding industrial environments where safety and durability are key.
Classified as a large thickness plate, this 1/2" sheet provides exceptional rigidity and load-bearing capacity. It is primarily used for heavy equipment mounting, base plates for machinery, structural flooring in high-impact zones, and heavy-duty loading dock ramps where strength is paramount.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-grey, slightly rough surface scale. This finish protects the steel from minor corrosion. For painting or powder coating, the mill scale should be removed via grinding or sandblasting. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Diamond plate thickness is measured from the base of the plate, not including the height of the raised pattern. The dimensions are specified as Thickness x Width x Length.
Example: To order this plate, specify "A36 Diamond Plate, 1/2 inch x 48 inch x 120 inch".
