Once the leaves start coming down across Cobb and Cherokee counties, every smooth metal step, loading ramp, and trailer deck gets a lot slicker. Wet leaves and heavy morning dew on flat steel or aluminum are a fall slip hazard that shows up every year right about now.
Tread plate, also called diamond plate, is the go-to fix. The raised pattern gives boots something to grip, and it's commonly used for trailer floors, truck boxes, stair treads, ramps, and work platforms. Aluminum tread plate is lighter and won't rust, which makes it popular for trailers and toolboxes, while steel tread plate is the heavier choice for high-traffic steps and loading areas.
Our Marietta location stocks tread plate and can shear or cut it to the exact size of your step, ramp, or deck, so you're not wrestling a full sheet home. No minimum order, so a single stair tread is no problem.
Which surface around your shop, job site, or trailer turns into a slip-and-slide once the leaves and dew show up?

Authentic close-up of aluminum and steel tread plate on the racks at the Marietta location, or a customer's trailer deck or stair treads finished in tread plate. A shot with a few fall leaves on the diamond pattern would tie the visual to the season. Real photos strongly preferred over stock. No Google Drive image folder is set up for this client yet, so request a real photo from the Marietta location.
