Aluminium plate question
Brett Jones - 13/2/13 at 05:55 PM

I'm trying to purchase some aluminium tread plate, but can not find the type I'm looking for, I'm looking for the mini 3 bar plate. Does anyone know if it's called tread plate or another name and where can I purchase this from?


If some could explain how to upload a pic, I will.

Thanks
Brett

We call it rice grain at work but I dont know if thats the right name or what you are after but if you google it you will see what I mean!

What size sheets are you looking for? I have some offcuts of 1.5mm checker plate

Hi All,

Thanks for all the replies and what I was refering to is called rice grain tread plate. (Thanks to BigFaceDave)

If anyone has some off cuts about 400mm x 500mm of 2 - 3mm thick I would interested. (Thank Ernie but I think 1.5 will be too thin.)


Thanks
Brett
