If you are kitting out a work van, upgrading a Land Rover, or building a custom trailer, the flooring material you choose matters. Aluminium Checker Plate (also known as Treadplate) is the industry standard for vehicle modifications, and for good reason.
Durability on the Road Work vehicles take a beating. Heavy tools are dropped, muddy boots stomp in and out, and equipment slides around. A wooden ply floor can rot and splinter over time. In contrast, Aluminium Chequer Plate is virtually indestructible in this setting. It protects the vehicle's original chassis from dents and scratches, preserving the resale value of your van or 4x4.
Easy to Clean Mud, grease, and oil are no match for Checker Plate. Unlike carpet or wood which absorbs spills, aluminium can be simply wiped down or jet-washed. This makes it incredibly hygienic—a massive bonus for catering vans, dog walkers, or medical transport vehicles.
Lightweight Performance Weight is a crucial factor in vehicle design. Adding heavy steel plates decreases your fuel efficiency and payload capacity. Aluminium is approximately one-third the weight of steel, giving you the heavy-duty protection of Treadplate without weighing your vehicle down.
