XLERPLATE® steel benefits
Consistent Quality
For every plate application, the Consistent Quality of XLERPLATE® can enhance your business and the reputation of your products. XLERPLATE® hot rolled plate steel is manufactured to tolerances that conform to Australian Standards and ISO 9001 International Quality Standards. There are no suprises, just consistent quality.
"Because of our quality procedures, we can't afford to use anyone else's plate. There is never any problem with the quality of XLERPLATE."
Stephen Richer, S J Cheeseman Engineering
Speed of Delivery
For XLERPLATE®'s General Range, the lead time is three weeks, despatched ex-works.
Commonly ordered thicknesses in the XLERPLATE® Standard Range continue to be despatched ex-works in a lead time of two weeks and also stocked in market by our distribution network.
Ordering your XLERPLATE® products on short lead times, means you can better tailor your stock mix, ensure valuable sales are not lost due to stock-outs, improve stock turn, cash flow, and reduce cost of possession.
"Without BlueScope Steel's help, we probably would not have won this contract, we would not have been able to get the steel in time."
Jimmy Trambas, Managing Director, Doric Engineering
Australian Made
XLERPLATE® is a true blue Australian product that has been manufactured by BlueScope Steel for more than forty years. Used in a wide variety of end-use applications ranging from hot plates for BBQs to plowing discs for farming the land, XLERPLATE® plays a vital part in everyday life.
The advantages of being a local supplier are our easily accessible sales and technical personnel, our short, flexible lead times across a range of hot rolled products, which are unmatched in Australia. Our products are made to Australian Standards and enjoy a long history of proven performance to meet the unique Australian environment.
"We are an Australian company and would always prefer to keep the dollar in Australia. We use as much Australian made material in our products as we can."
Neil Harrison, Production Director, Transtank
Flexibility of Supply
When you are up against tight deadlines and need more time to optimise designs and reduce project costs, you can rely on the flexibility of supply from BlueScope Steel. Flexibility also means that deliveries of XLERPLATE® may be 'flowed' to meet your project needs and minimise sorting, handling and storage. The result is a reduction in headaches and costs for you.
"A lot of our success can be attributed to the fact that BlueScope Steel has been such a good supplier."

Diverse Product Range
With a comprehensive XLERPLATE® product range, suitable for structural, pressure vessel, and heat treatable applications, you can source steel plate to meet your exact processing, fabrication or manufacturing needs.
Our XLERPLATE® range is available in thicknesses from 5mm - 150mm and greater, up to 3200mm wide and 18.3 metres long. The XLERPLATE® Standard Range encompasses the most frequently used grades in varying sizes.
This range is stocked "in market" by BlueScope Steel's national distribution network and is the most economic choice for many common applications. By specifying tailored sizes and grades from the XLERPLATE® General Range, you may be able to reduce costs associated with processing, testing, blasting and painting, welding or material waste.
The XLERPLATE® range also encompasses special purpose grades available by enquiry that have unique properties and can be individually developed to customer specifications. We can even produce international steel plate grades on request.
"The special grade of XLERPLATE® steel we have specified for the project is only available in Australia from BlueScope Steel and because of its unique properties it is one that is not often used."
