Steel Plate

Plain hot-rolled steel plate and raised-pattern checker plate for fabrication, workshop and commercial project enquiries — quoted to your nominated requirements.

Two distinct options

Plain plate or checker plate

Plain hot-rolled steel plate

A flat steel plate without a raised tread pattern. Typical enquiries include fabricated brackets, base plates, workshop components and commercial assemblies, subject to the project design and nominated specification.

Enquiry example: 5 mm × 1500 × 3000 mm

Checker plate / chequer plate

Steel plate with a raised surface pattern. Typical enquiries include access covers, steps, platforms and workshop or commercial floor panels where the project design calls for patterned plate. A raised pattern does not establish a slip rating or suitability for a particular use.

Enquiry example: 4 mm base plate × 1200 × 2400 mm

These sizes are enquiry examples only, not listed stock items. Grade, size, thickness basis, finish, stock, tolerances, certification, lead time and order minimums must be confirmed on quote.

Project specification

Nominate the details that matter

Grade and applicable standard

Nominate Grade 250 or Grade 350 if required, along with the project’s applicable specification and nominated standard. Tell us whether mill test certificates are required. Grade and certification are confirmed on quote; no blanket compliance or structural suitability is implied.

Thickness and sheet dimensions

State thickness, sheet width and length in mm, and quantity in sheets or tonnes. For checker plate, specify whether the nominated thickness is base metal thickness or includes the raised pattern. If unknown, select “Unsure” for confirmation.

Cut-to-size, holes and countersinks

Cut-to-size, drilled holes and countersinks can be assessed against drawings, with feasibility and tolerances confirmed on quote. Include hole quantity, diameters, locations and countersink details, together with drawing references and required tolerances.

Finish, delivery and application

Include finish or processing requirements, delivery postcode and optional requested delivery date. Confirm application suitability with the project designer, including access, loading and any slip-resistance requirements. Stock, lead time and order minimums are confirmed for each enquiry.
