diamond plates

Raised pattern metal

Diamond plates are metal sheets with a raised pattern of diamond-shaped ridges that provide traction and prevent slipping.

Common on truck beds, industrial flooring, and stair treads, the pattern also appears decoratively on toolboxes and bumpers.

The term applies both to the material itself and surfaces covered with it: The ramp was covered in diamond plate.
