Steel Bar Grating is a high-strength flooring and platform material composed of load-bearing steel bars welded or locked to cross bars to form an open grid surface. It offers excellent load capacity with reduced weight, making it suitable for industrial floors, walkways, stair treads, platforms, and trench covers. Available in flat, serrated, and I-bar profiles with galvanized or painted finishes....
Steel Bar Grating is a high-strength, open-grid flooring and structural material manufactured by welding or pressure-locking bearing bars and cross bars into a rigid panel. Its efficient design provides exceptional load-bearing capacity with a relatively low weight, making it a versatile solution for a multitude of industrial, commercial, and architectural applications where durability, safety, and free passage of air and light are required.
Features
Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The engineered grid structure delivers superior load capacity and structural integrity while minimizing material use and overall weight.
Enhanced Safety & Traction: Available with serrated or toothed bearing bar surfaces to provide reliable slip resistance, even in wet, oily, or hazardous environments.
Corrosion Resistance & Durability: Offered in various materials, including galvanized carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, to withstand harsh conditions, chemicals, and outdoor exposure for extended service life.
Versatile & Functional Design: The open grid allows for the seamless passage of light, air, water, and sound, and can be customized in pitch, bar type, and finish to meet precise functional and aesthetic requirements.
Specification
Materials & Construction:
Primary Materials: Carbon Steel (often galvanized), Stainless Steel, Aluminum.
Bearing Bar Types: Smooth Flat Bar, Serrated Flat Bar, I-Bar (smooth or serrated).
Manufacturing Processes: Welded (for maximum rigidity) or Pressure-Locked (without welds).
Surface Treatment: Self-color (mill finish), Hot-dip galvanized, Painted.
Technical Dimensions (Common Examples):
Panel Sizes: Standard panels up to 1000mm wide and 6000mm long.
Bearing Bar Pitches: Typical spacings include 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm, affecting load capacity and object passage.
Cross Bar Pitches: Common spacings are 50mm, 100mm, etc., influencing panel stability and openness.
Bar Sizes: Bearing bars range from 20x3mm to 60x5mm (Width x Thickness).
*(Example Designation: G323/30/100 indicates a 32mm wide x 3mm thick bearing bar on 30mm centers, with cross bars on 100mm centers.)*
