Metal Bar Gratings Brief Introduction

Metal bar grating has been main candidate for industrial floor market whether for the plant flooring or equipment flooring. With high strength-to-weight ratio and recyclability, bar gratings can meet almost any configuration. Compared with solid metal plates or other plates, open area makes bar grating need less or no maintenance. In addition, opening area allows for pass of small debris like leaves.

Bar Grating Materials:

• Mild carbon steel
  Steel grating is the most popular choice for many grating applications. It is often hot-dip galvanized or PVC coated to extend service life.
• Aluminum
  Aluminum grating has unexpected strength-to-weight ratio. In addition, it is suitable for harsh environments like wet and corrosive.
• Stainless steel
  Stainless steel grating is the prior choice for food processing factories which needs high sanitarian requirements.

Fabrication Options

• Welded grating;
• Riveted grating;
• Swage locked grating;
• Dovetail pressure locked grating.

Bearing bar spacing: the distance of bearing bars on center. Standard bearing bar spacing is 19/16" on center. Other common spacings include 15/16", 11/16", 1/2" and 7/16" on center.

Cross bar spacing: the center-to-center distance of cross bars. Standard spacing is 4 inch on center and 2" spacing is also available.
