- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A786 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Maximum Skid Resistance
Hot rolled diamond plate, also known as tread or checker plate, is produced from A36 structural steel. The hot rolling process creates a durable, slip-resistant raised pattern while conforming to ASTM A786 standards. It combines the strength and excellent weldability of A36 steel with a functional, high-traction surface, making it a reliable choice for industrial environments.
As a large thickness plate, this 5/16" size is specified for heavy-duty applications. It is ideal for base plates on heavy equipment, wear plates in high-traffic zones, trench covers, and structural ramps where both load-bearing capacity and slip resistance are critical.
