Kloeckner Metals supplies ASTM A786 floor plate, a durable metal flooring option that provides non-slip traction.
ASTM A786 floor plate, which covers carbon, low-alloy, high-strength low-alloy, and alloy steel hot-rolled floor plates intended for use in various structural applications available in different product types and thickness ranges.
Steel floor plate dates back to the early 20th century when it was engineered to address safety concerns. This is by and large the biggest advantage of this metal flooring product, as its distinct skid-resistant diamond tread pattern enhances functionality in various industrial and commercial applications by making walking easier and safer, especially in wet and slippery environments. One possible disadvantage is that the tread or the raised diamond pattern on this metal flooring product can make cleaning more difficult.
You will likely see this steel floor plate in industrial and military use. It is also commonly used in the construction, transportation, mining, and marine industries.
A786 floor plate is utilized in walkways, stair treads, truck beds, trailer floors, ship decks, machine equipment decks, docks and loading bed, and other areas where slip resistance and durability are critical. It can also be selected for purely aesthetic applications in architectural and design contexts to add interior/exterior charm, as in signage or for furniture.
ASTM A786 is generally durable, and machining is possible. However, the raised pattern can pose challenges, and additional care is needed during machining processes.
This metal flooring product is weldable. However, consideration should be given to the thickness of the floor plate. Preheating may be necessary for thicker plates, and proper welding techniques should be employed to maintain the material’s structural integrity.
Unless specified, this steel flooring product does not require heat treatment.

ANSWER:
Common thicknesses for steel floor plate range from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch, and sheet sizes might be 4×8 feet or larger.
ANSWER:
Steel floor plates are typically made from carbon steel, and the surface pattern is created through a process of hot rolling or pressing. The ASTM standard for A786 specifies the requirements for carbon, low-alloy, high-strength low-alloy, and alloy steel floor plates including the yield point, tensile strength, dimensions and tolerances, thickness, width, length, and pattern/texture. Material properties usually do not include the chemical composition.
