Platform Grating

Welded Steel Grating

Features: Known for its high strength and durability, welded steel grating is the most commonly used type, suitable for all standard applications.

Applications: Ideal for platforms, walkways, bridge decks, and floors, especially in industrial environments requiring high load-bearing capacity.

Press-Locked Grating

Features: Offers excellent lateral stiffness, providing a secure and stable surface for various applications.

Applications: Suitable for areas where a firm and steady platform is essential, such as industrial walkways and platforms.

Riveted Grating

Features: Provides a smooth surface, making it suitable for pedestrian traffic, including individuals wearing high-heel shoes or using wheeled equipment.

Applications: Commonly used in public walkways, commercial spaces, and areas requiring a smooth walking surface.

1.High Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity:

Supports heavy loads with a high strength-to-weight ratio, suitable for industrial environments like refineries, power plants, and offshore platforms, accommodating pedestrian, forklift, or vehicular traffic.

Heavy-duty options from Hengchen are ideal for high-load areas such as driveways, ramps, and industrial floors.

2.Durability and Long Service Life:

Constructed from carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, it resists wear, impact, and harsh environmental conditions.

Galvanized or stainless steel options offer excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor or chemical-heavy settings.

3.Non-Slip Surface for Safety:

Available with serrated or smooth surfaces, serrated grating enhances slip resistance for safety in wet, oily, or icy conditions.

Close mesh designs comply with ADA standards, suitable for pedestrian walkways, including for individuals using wheelchairs or wearing high heels.

4.Ventilation and Drainage:

Open grid design allows efficient drainage of liquids and debris, and facilitates air, light, and heat passage, with configurations like 19-4 spacing offering approximately 80% open area.

5.Ease of Installation and Maintenance:

Lightweight compared to concrete, enabling easy installation and removal without specialized skills.

Self-cleaning design minimizes maintenance, reducing upkeep costs for industrial facilities.

6.Versatility and Customization:

Available in welded, press-locked, swage-locked, riveted, or close mesh types for applications like platforms, walkways, stair treads, or trench covers.

Customizable in size, shape (including irregular shapes), and surface treatment (galvanized, painted, or powder-coated) to meet project needs, with tailored solutions from Hengchen.

7.Corrosion Resistance:

Galvanized steel grating features a thick zinc coating for superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments.

Stainless steel options suit highly corrosive settings, such as chemical plants or food processing facilities.

8.Aesthetic Appeal:

Provides a modern appearance with options for powder-coated or painted finishes, suitable for architectural or commercial applications.

9.Cost-Effective:

Welded steel grating offers an economical solution due to efficient production and long lifespan, ideal for large-scale projects.

10.Compliance with Standards:

Meets industry standards like ASTM A123 for galvanizing and NAAMM MBG 531 for welded grating, ensuring quality and safety.

Grating Specifications

30 mm Bearing Bar Spacing: The most widely used type in industrial applications, offering the best resistance to surface impact.

40 mm Bearing Bar Spacing: The most economical and lightweight option—ideal for short-span applications.

60 mm Bearing Bar Spacing + 50 mm Cross Bar Spacing: Specially developed for the mining industry. Effectively prevents material buildup on the surface, commonly used in mineral processing plants, transfer stations, and crushing systems.

Grating Materials

1.Bearing bars and cross bars are typically made from Q235 steel in accordance with GB/T700. Other materials can be used upon agreement between supplier and customer.

2.Bearing bars are made from hot-rolled flat steel or slitted steel strips (hot or cold rolled).

3.Serrated bearing bars are made from hot-rolled flat steel or slitted, serrated hot/cold-rolled strips. There must be at least 5 serrations per 100 mm.

4.I-shaped bearing bars are defined by their cross-sectional size and moment of inertia, offering optimized load performance.
