4 mm MS Chequered Plate

Product Description

A 4 mm MS (Mild Steel) Chequered Plate is a type of steel plate that features a 4 mm thickness with a raised diamond or other patterned surface. This pattern is designed to provide improved traction and is commonly used in environments where anti-slip surfaces are essential. Mild steel is the primary material used in these plates due to its cost-effectiveness and strength.

Key Features of 4 mm MS Chequered Plate:

1. Thickness:

   • With a 4 mm thickness, this chequered plate is strong enough to handle moderate to heavy loads while remaining flexible for use in various applications.

2. Pattern Design:

   • The diamond pattern or other raised designs on the surface create a non-slip feature, making these plates ideal for use in high-traffic or hazardous environments.

3. Material:

   • Mild steel (MS) is the base material, which is durable, economical, and relatively easy to fabricate and weld. It may require a coating, such as galvanization, for enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments.

4. Weight:

   • A 4 mm thick plate typically offers a good balance between strength and weight. It is heavy enough for durability but not overly cumbersome for handling and installation.

Applications of 4 mm MS Chequered Plate:

1. Flooring:

   • Commonly used in industrial flooring, such as factories, warehouses, and workshops, where an anti-slip surface is necessary to prevent accidents.

2. Walkways and Platforms:

   • Ideal for outdoor and indoor walkways, stairs, and platforms, providing extra grip and reducing the risk of slipping.

3. Truck and Trailer Flooring:

   • Used in the floors of trucks, trailers, and cargo vehicles to ensure a strong, slip-resistant surface for loading and unloading materials.

4. Construction Sites:

   • Construction and scaffolding platforms frequently use 4 mm MS chequered plates for safety and stability.

5. Heavy Machinery:

   • Often utilized in machinery or equipment platforms, offering support and traction in heavy-duty settings.

Advantages of 4 mm MS Chequered Plate:

1. Non-Slip Surface:

   • The raised pattern enhances traction, reducing the chances of slipping, making it ideal for wet or oil-prone environments.

2. Durability:

   • Mild steel is known for its strength and toughness, ensuring the plate is capable of withstanding high-impact and heavy-load applications.

3. Corrosion Resistance:

   • While MS is prone to rust, it can be coated with galvanization or painted for extra protection against corrosion, especially for outdoor use.

4. Cost-Effective:

   • Mild steel is one of the most affordable materials for chequered plates, making it an economical choice for large-scale applications.

5. Customization:

   • Available in different sizes and patterns, 4 mm MS chequered plates can be customized to meet specific needs, including cutting, welding, or bending for particular applications.

Specifications:

• Material: Mild Steel (MS)
• Thickness: 4 mm
• Width: Typically available in 1000 mm, 1250 mm, and 1500 mm widths.
• Length: 2000 mm to 6000 mm or more, depending on the manufacturer and customer requirements.
• Surface Pattern: Diamond pattern or other raised geometric shapes.

Considerations:

1. Weight:

   • Although 4 mm thick, the weight can vary based on the plate's size and material thickness, making it important to ensure proper support for handling and installation.

2. Maintenance:

   • Mild steel plates may require periodic cleaning and re-coating if they are used in corrosive environments to maintain their anti-slip properties and structural integrity.

3. Surface Finishing:

   • It may need surface finishing treatments (such as galvanizing or powder coating) to prevent rust and enhance its longevity in harsh environments.
