Anti-slip grating

Anti-Slip Grating is truly not anti-slip and is better referred to as Slip Resistant Grating

Steel Bar Grating is a type of grating to for heavy loads more so than it is used prevent slippage. Steel bar grating is manufactured in a variety of methods. Welded bar grating consists of load bars electrically fuse welded to cross bars. Pressure-locked bar grating, or swaged grating, is where steel rods are forced through and locked in load bars. Riveted bar grating is where the load bars are riveted to the cross bars. There are wide varieties of trade names for each type manufactured.

Perforated sheet metal Safety Grating or Slip Resistant types:

  • Diamond-shaped serrated perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Gater Grip, Grip Strut, Diamond Grip, Ry, Diamond, Grip Span, Deck Span, Grip Trac.
  • Round hole perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Whole Grip, Perf-o-grip, Safety-grip, Shur Grip, Ry-Grip, Open Grip and Grate Lock.
  • Raised dimple perforated sheet metal. Examples of trade names are Max Tread, Traction Tread, Safety Tread, Shur Step, Ry-Tread and Tread Grip.

The excellent self-cleaning characteristics of plain surface grating make it suitable for the majority of applications. In the presence of fluids or materials that could cause the top surface of the grating to become wet or slippery, specification of the optional serrated surface should be considered. When serrated grating is specified, the bearing bar depth must be 1/4 inch greater than the sizes shown on the load tables to provide the equivalent strength of non-serrated gratings.
