Build your mobile cleaning rig on the ultimate foundation with this heavy-duty Aluminum Checker Plate Skid Base. Measuring 175.0 cm x 125.0 cm with a 7.5 cm reinforced peripheral lip, this 3mm thick marine-grade platform provides a rigid, rust-proof, and high-impact mounting base for commercial pressure washers, softwash chemical tanks, hose reel racks, and generator sets.
Engineered specifically for custom ute tray, trailer, and modular skid configurations, the lightweight aluminum construction eliminates the heavy weight penalty of traditional steel frames while delivering superior corrosion resistance against harsh softwash chemicals and weather. The textured checker plate pattern provides slip resistance during maintenance, while the perimeter lip adds structural strength and helps contain equipment vibration and localized liquid drips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of using an aluminium skid plate for custom rig builds?
Aluminium provides a completely rust-proof foundation that withstands daily exposure to water and aggressive softwash chemicals while offering a high strength-to-weight ratio that helps keep your ute or trailer under payload limits.
Will this 1750 x 1250 mm skid plate fit standard ute trays and trailers?
Yes. The 1750mm (L) x 1250mm (W) dimension is engineered specifically to suit standard Australian single-cab, extra-cab, and dual-cab ute trays as well as commercial trailer layouts.
What function does the 75mm outer lip serve?
The 75mm perimeter lip significantly increases the overall structural stiffness of the aluminium sheet, preventing flexing under heavy equipment like engines and water tanks while helping contain minor fluid spills and equipment mounting hardware.
Can I mount heavy machinery like Honda engines and poly tanks directly to this plate?
Yes. The 3mm thick commercial-grade aluminium checker plate is engineered as a structural base capable of supporting heavy pressure washer engines, pump boxes, hose reels, and high-density chemical tanks.
