Gwangyang Aluminum's Premium 5086 Checker Plate - the Ideal Flooring for Trailer and Truck Bodies
As the transportation industry seeks to increase payload capacity and reduce overall vehicle weight, aluminum checker plate is emerging as the flooring material of choice for trailer and truck bodies. Gwangyang Aluminum, a leading South Korean manufacturer of rolled aluminum products, produces a wide range of high-performance 5086 aluminum checker plate tailored to the demanding requirements of commercial vehicle flooring applications.
Gwangyang's 5086 aluminum checker plate demonstrates key attributes that allow it to outperform traditional steel plate flooring:
High strength-to-weight ratio: Aluminum checker plate can weigh up to 50% less than steel, freeing up payload capacity within gross vehicle weight limits.
Corrosion resistance: 5086 aluminum forms a stable oxide layer that protects it from corrosion caused by moisture, chemicals and abrasive cargo.
Formability: Aluminum checker plate can be bent, rolled and formed into complex shapes to fit around cross-members, stringers and other structures.
Weldability: Aluminum checker plate components can be easily spot welded, seam welded or stitch welded during trailer and body assembly.
Durability: Aluminum checker plate withstands impact and abrasion from cargo while retaining its surface finish.
Sustainability: Aluminum checker plate can be fully recycled at the end of a vehicle's service life, supporting a circular economy.
To ensure performance in the harshest environments, Gwangyang's 5086 aluminum checker plate undergoes a stringent production process with strict controls on:
Dimensional tolerances
