Five-bar aluminum tread plate is manufactured from premium aluminum alloys including 3003, 5052, 5083, and 6061. It offers outstanding slip resistance, corrosion resistance, light weight, and high strength.
Five-bar aluminum tread plate is a commonly used anti-slip embossed aluminum product. It is widely used for anti-slip flooring in containers, buildings, vehicles, ships, prefabricated houses, and cold-storage facilities. Common materials include 1060 aluminum tread plate, 3003 aluminum tread plate, and 5052 aluminum tread plate.
Zhengzhou HAOMEI Aluminum Co., Ltd. supplies standard five-bar aluminum tread plates in 1220 × 2440 mm and 1500 × 3000 mm sizes. Non-standard sizes, extra-wide and extra-large five-bar aluminum tread plates, and aluminum coils can also be customized.
Five-bar anti-slip aluminum plate, also known as willow-leaf patterned plate or aluminum alloy tread plate, features five raised ribs arranged in relatively parallel rows on the aluminum surface. The angle between each pattern and adjacent patterns is typically 60–80 degrees.
The pattern height can reach approximately 0.8-1.2 mm. With its full, raised, and distinct pattern, this plate provides excellent anti-slip performance.
Based on pattern length, five-bar tread plates can be divided into:
Large five-bar tread plate: Pattern length of 42 mm
Small five-bar tread plate: Pattern length of 34 mm
This product is available in 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, and 6xxx aluminum alloy series. Thicknesses range from 0.8 mm to 12 mm, while widths can be customized up to 2650 mm.
Five-bar aluminum tread plate is designed primarily for slip resistance. It provides stable and reliable traction even in wet or oily environments, and is widely used in transportation, construction, industrial manufacturing, marine, and offshore applications.
Five-bar aluminum tread plate has a highly recognizable surface pattern. Its texture consists of five raised ribs arranged diagonally, creating a neat and balanced visual appearance. It combines the strength of industrial materials with the distinctive metallic texture of aluminum.
1. Clear Pattern and Strong Three-Dimensional Effect
The raised patterns are full, even, and smoothly formed, creating an effective anti-slip contact surface.
2. Orderly Arrangement, Attractive and Practical
The five-bar pattern is regularly distributed, delivering a clean and modern visual effect. It is suitable for industrial environments as well as decorative applications.
3. Clean Surface and Distinct Metallic Texture
Aluminum has a natural silver-white luster. Its clean and bright surface can enhance the overall quality and appearance of products or spaces.
4. Customizable Surface Treatments
Depending on application requirements, the plate can be anodized, coated, brushed, film-laminated, or polished to suit different environments and design styles.
Five-bar aluminum tread plate is available in multiple alloy series to meet the requirements of different applications.

1. Excellent Slip Resistance
The relatively parallel five-bar ribs and specific angles between the patterns significantly increase surface friction. Even in wet or oily environments, the plate provides stable and dependable traction.
2. Lightweight and High Strength
With a density of approximately 2.7 g/cm³, aluminum weighs only about one-third as much as ordinary steel. Using five-bar aluminum tread plate significantly reduces structural weight. Lightweight construction lowers structural load while improving fuel efficiency and cargo capacity.
3. Superior Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum alloys naturally form a dense oxide protective film, making them resistant to rust in rainy and humid environments. Among them, 5xxx aluminum-magnesium alloys, such as 5052, are commonly considered marine-grade aluminum alloys due to their excellent salt-spray and seawater corrosion resistance.
They are particularly suitable for highly corrosive environments such as ship decks and coastal chemical plants. Unlike ordinary steel plates, they do not require frequent painting or anti-corrosion treatment, resulting in lower life-cycle maintenance costs.
4. High Strength and Wear Resistance
The five-bar pattern not only improves surface wear resistance but also increases overall rigidity. Aluminum-magnesium tread plates such as 5052, 5754, and 5083 offer higher strength and better fatigue resistance, making them suitable for demanding applications such as vehicle flooring, ship decks, and industrial platforms.
5. Excellent Fabrication Performance
Five-bar aluminum tread plate supports a variety of processing methods, including laser cutting, shearing, bending, punching, and welding.
6. Attractive Appearance
In addition to practical performance, five-bar aluminum tread plate offers a strong decorative effect. Its orderly surface texture and natural metallic luster create a clean, modern, and visually appealing finish after installation. It provides protection while improving the overall appearance of the application.
7. Easy to Clean and Low Maintenance Cost
Five-bar aluminum tread plate does not easily accumulate rust and is simple to clean. Dust, mud, water stains, and light oil contamination can generally be removed with clean water or a neutral detergent. Compared with wood boards, steel plates, or ordinary coated boards, aluminum tread plate has better moisture resistance and aging resistance, making it easier to maintain over the long term.
8. Recyclable
Aluminum alloy is a highly recyclable material. At the end of its service life, five-bar aluminum tread plate retains high recycling value, supporting energy conservation, environmental protection, green manufacturing, and circular-economy development.

1. Mill Finish
Mill finish is one of the most common surface conditions for five-bar aluminum tread plate. It retains the natural silver-white metallic luster of aluminum, with clear patterns and a natural plate surface.
2. Protective Film Lamination
Protective film lamination applies a layer of protective film to the aluminum surface to prevent scratches, abrasions, and contamination during transportation, handling, fabrication, and installation.
3. Anodizing
Anodizing creates a dense oxide film on the aluminum surface through an electrochemical process. It significantly improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and surface hardness. Anodized surfaces can be produced in silver, champagne, black, gold, and other colors.
4. Coating
Coating involves applying a protective or decorative layer to the aluminum surface. Common options include polyester coating, powder coating, and PVDF coating. Coated five-bar aluminum tread plates are available in a wide range of custom colors to meet project requirements.
5. Brushed Finish
Brushing creates fine, uniform linear textures on the aluminum surface, providing a stronger metallic appearance and decorative effect. Brushed five-bar aluminum tread plates have a more refined appearance and are suitable for high-end decorative applications.
6. Polished Finish
Polishing increases the brightness of the aluminum surface, giving the five-bar tread plate a brighter and cleaner appearance. Polished plates offer stronger reflectivity and a more pronounced decorative effect.
