Steel Expanded Metal Standard 1-1/2″ #6 (Raised) is a heavy-duty raised expanded steel mesh designed for loading ramps, utility trailers, industrial walkways, equipment platforms, and demanding fabrication applications. Manufactured from carbon steel sheet that has been slit and stretched into a continuous diamond-shaped pattern, this expanded metal provides an excellent combination of strength, rigidity, traction, and durability.
The 1-1/2″ diamond pattern and #6 designation identify a heavy-duty expanded metal style with larger openings and substantial steel strands. Its open mesh construction allows water, dirt, mud, and debris to pass through while reducing weight compared to solid steel plate, making it a popular choice for trailer ramps, equipment loading platforms, and industrial access surfaces.
Unlike flattened expanded metal, standard raised expanded metal retains its original three-dimensional strand profile, creating a textured surface that provides additional grip and traction. This raised design makes it particularly useful for ramps and access areas where improved footing is important.
Its durable carbon steel construction and excellent fabrication characteristics make it suitable for welding into steel frames, trailer gates, loading ramps, and custom industrial assemblies.
