Types & Constructions of Bar Grating

Types

Types

  • Light Duty - Includes bar sizes of 3/4" x 1/8" up to 2-1/2" x 3/16".  It is primarily used for pedestrian traffic and for light, tired, rolling traffic such as carts, dollies and hand trucks.
  • Heavy Duty - Includes bar sizes of 1" x 1/4" up to 6" x 3/8".  It is primarily used where heavy vehicular traffic is utilized including industrial plants utilizing fork lift trucks, highways and bridges.
  • Aluminum - Offers a corrosion resistant alternative to carbon.  It is lightweight and strong.  It is highly utilized in corrosive environments including food/beverage preparation, water vessels and sewage treatment facilities.
  • Stainless Steel - Offers an alternative to carbon and aluminum materials in protection against severe corrosive environments such as chemical, food and hydro processing areas.
  • Stair Treads - Offered to match our extensive bar grating line.

Bearing bars and cross rods are electroforged into one through use of hydraulic pressure and heat fusion.  Most popular and economical choice.

Bearing bars and cross rods are electroforged into one through use of hydraulic pressure and heat fusion.  Additionally, filler bars are welded between bearing bars for added support.

 

Bearing bars and cross rods are hydraulically pressed together by cross rod deformation without welds or rivets to form a permanent bond.  The permanent bond is achieved by slotting the bearing bars with a wider 'dovetail' shape at the bottom of the slot, thus locking in the cross rod when hydraulically pressed together.

Square cross rods are swaged through punched diamond shaped holes in rectangular bearing bars.  Provides lower cost alternative to press-locked grating with the same strength.  Swage-locking does not provide a cross rod flush with the walking surface.

A type of press-locked grating in which cross rods are flush with the walking surface.  Provides a lower cost alternative to the traditional press-locked product.

Bearing bars are thicker at top and bottom to provide similar strength to rectangular bar but with lighter weight.  Cross rods are swage-locked.  The striated top and bottom flanges provide a "built-in" skid resistance without serration.  This product is the lightest weight aluminum grating alternative.
