Quality Laser Cut Tread Plates
Tread plates, also known as checker or diamond plates, are robust metal sheets with raised surface patterns designed to provide friction and slip resistance. Manufactured from sheets of aluminium, mild steel, or stainless steel, tread plates have incredibly versatile applications, such as walkways, ramps, and decorative features.
At The Laser Cutting Co., we specialise in delivering exceptional laser cutting for a broad spectrum of industrial and commercial applications, achieving remarkable cut quality and efficiency. Our advanced fleet of flatbed lasers is complemented by smart design production services, implementing a range of additional processes, including bevel cutting, flow drilling and tapping.
With over 40 years of experience in metal profiling expertise, we facilitate industries with market-leading laser cutting services. Our cutting ability allows us to handle everything from simple cut-outs to highly complex geometries, delivering fast, accurate results at scale.

What are the Benefits of Laser Cutting Tread Plates?
Laser cutting delivers reliable tread plate manufacturing within the metal profiling sector. Some advantages of laser cutting tread plates include:
Exceptional Precision
Laser cutting delivers highly accurate cuts, often working within fine tolerances of +/- 0.1mm, even on textured surfaces.
Versatility
A broad range of complex shapes and geometries can be delivered with the assistance of smart design production, offering excellent versatility for various applications.
Clean and Burr-Free Cuts
A high-grade finish with clean and smooth edges can be achieved without compromising quality and the need for additional processes.
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium and steel are renowned for their corrosion-resistant properties, ensuring tread plates are highly effective at withstanding varying environments.
Strength and Durability
Tread plates are formulated from incredibly robust and reliable sheet metal while maintaining formability. They withstand daily use with a high resistance to damage.
Cost Effectiveness
Tread plates maintain a long life span and are considered inexpensive to procure and fabricate, making them an economical solution in laser cutting.
In-House Bending and Pressing Solutions
At The Laser Cutting Co., we complement our flatbed cutting services by offering in-house metal bending and pressing capabilities, ideal for shaping tread plates into custom components such as ramps, stairs, panelling, and walkways. We operate 24/7, ensuring we maintain rapid turnaround times while delivering the same high standards of precision and quality across every stage of production.
We accommodate a range of materials from aluminium, mild steel, or stainless steel tread plates, equipped to handle a range of thicknesses and specifications. Our bending and pressing services can emboss and stamp patterns for tread plates, delivering turnkey services under one roof.
Exceptional Bevel Countersinking on Tread Plates
Due to our advanced laser systems, we can perform precision bevel countersinking directly on tread plates, a process that’s traditionally considered difficult due to the raised pattern. This non-contact method avoids tool snagging and eliminates the need for secondary machining, making it ideal for flush-fitting fasteners on complex or patterned surfaces.
