Aluminium 5 Bar Treadplate - Cut to Size

Specifications

Product Overview

Aluminium 5 bar treadplate is a patterned aluminium sheet featuring five raised parallel bars across its surface. The raised profile creates a reliable anti-slip surface, making it a practical material for flooring, ramps, walkways, and any application where grip and underfoot safety are priorities. At Click Metal, each sheet is cut to your specified dimensions, removing the need for on-site trimming and reducing material waste.

The treadplate is manufactured from Grade 5754H111, an aluminium alloy recognised for its toughness and corrosion resistance. These properties make it suitable for both interior and exterior use, including environments exposed to moisture or variable weather conditions. The material is also lightweight relative to its strength, which keeps overall load and handling requirements manageable during installation.

Ordering cut-to-size treadplate means your sheet arrives ready to fit. Whether you are covering a ramp, lining a vehicle bed, or adding stair treads, receiving material to your confirmed measurements eliminates the need for on-site cutting equipment and reduces the likelihood of measurement error. Each piece is cut to a tolerance of -0/+2mm, giving you confidence in the final fit before work begins.

For larger volumes or commercial supply requirements, Click Metal can refer projects to Doré Metals. If your project calls for quantities beyond what is available through standard online ordering, our team can discuss the options available through that route.

If you are unsure which thickness is best suited to your application, our team is available to help. A quick enquiry will point you towards the right option for your load requirements, fixing method, and finished surface expectations.

Applications for Aluminium 5 Bar Treadplate

Flooring in Commercial & Industrial Spaces

• Hard-wearing floor surfaces in warehouses, workshops, and commercial units are subject to heavy foot traffic and occasional spills. Aluminium treadplate provides a grip surface that reduces the risk of slips, particularly in areas with moisture. Its corrosion resistance also means it holds up well in environments that are difficult to keep dry.

Ramp Coverings

• Ramps used for wheelchair access, loading, or vehicle movement can become hazardous when wet. Treadplate surfacing adds grip underfoot and extends the working life of the ramp structure beneath it. The raised bar pattern channels water away from the walking surface, maintaining traction in poor conditions.

Stair Treads

• Staircases in public buildings, industrial sites, and external structures benefit from a defined anti-slip tread surface. Aluminium 5 bar treadplate is regularly used for this purpose, offering a consistent grip profile across the full width of each step. Its light weight also makes installation manageable without specialist equipment.

Vehicle Beds & Trailer Floors

• Truck beds, trailer floors, and van load areas are subject to abrasion from shifting loads and regular loading activity. Treadplate provides a protective surface that resists wear and reduces load movement during transit. Grade 5754H111 is well-suited to outdoor and exposed environments where corrosion resistance is important.

Toolboxes & Workshop Storage

• Aluminium treadplate is widely used in the construction of toolboxes for trucks, vans, and workshop use. Its surface texture adds grip when accessing tools, and its resistance to wear keeps the unit looking presentable through extended use. The material is also straightforward to drill and fix, making fabrication practical.

Walkways & Access Platforms

• External walkways, viewing platforms, and access structures in industrial or agricultural settings require a surface that performs reliably in wet conditions. Aluminium treadplate suits this application due to its anti-slip properties, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements over time.

Kick Plates & Door Protection

• High-traffic doors in commercial buildings and public spaces are prone to scuffing and impact damage at the base. Treadplate kick plates protect the lower section of the door, reducing maintenance costs and extending the door's working life. They can be cut to the exact width and height required for a clean, fitted finish.

Boat Docks & Poolside Areas

• Areas permanently exposed to water require materials that resist surface degradation without frequent upkeep. Aluminium treadplate performs well in these conditions, combining corrosion resistance with an anti-slip surface that remains functional when wet.
