press locked bar grating

Press-Locked: see load table

Press-locked grating features a system of perpendicular interlocking bars that provide a smooth, clean look.

Its surface can be treated by galvanizing, painting, or powder coating. Read more…

heavy duty bar gratingHeavy-Duty: see load table

Heavy-duty bar grating provides maximum strength in order to accommodate heavier loads in industrial and commercial settings. Heavy-duty bar grating also has a long lifespan which makes it ideal for demanding tasks over a long period of time. Standard widths are 2′, 3′, and 4′ in 20′ lengths. Standard bearing bars are 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″ thick. Bars range from 1″ to 8″ deep. Read more…

aluminium bar gratingAluminum: see load table

Swage-lock aluminum bar grating offers a lightweight alternative to heavier steel grating. It is manufactured with either “I” or rectangular bearing bars that are permanently locked to the crossbars via a swaging process, a technique that reshapes the rods. I-bar swage-locked is lighter weight and less costly than a rectangular bar grating with the same bar thickness. Read more…

riveted bar gratingRiveted: see load table

Riveted bar grating is primarily used for engineering applications involving wheeled equipment that transports rolling loads due to its resistance to buckling. Available in both aluminum and steel, this type of grating features reticulated bars that are riveted to the bearing bars. The reticulated bars provide the smooth surface that is essential for the safe, smooth passage of rolling equipment. Read more…

When to Use Metal Bar Grating

Bar grating has a vast amount of uses that range from flooring and stairs to bridges and sewage drain covers. It is a smart choice for flooring and stairs in work areas where slipping and falling are a major concern, such as industrial plants, wastewater treatment facilities, or manufacturing operations. The open design makes bar grating the best option for areas that require the passage of light. It also works well for projects that require fast, easy fabrication and installation.

What’s more, metal bar grating often provides the best solution for situations that require a high strength-to-weight ratio.
