Yes. The 52012 9.8 GL Grip Strut is designed for 2 inch channel framing and integrates with conventional safety grating hardware used in Eaton’s B‑Line systems. With a 40.47-inch length and 11.75-inch width, it fits typical mezzanine or catwalk spans without excessive trimming. Always confirm load ratings and edge supports for your specific installation.
The five-diamond Grip Strut pattern provides significantly improved grip on wet, oily, or dusty surfaces compared with plain perforated gratings. The textured surface channels fluids away from contact points, reducing slip potential. For critical safety zones, pair with proper handrails and keep surface free of debris to maintain traction. Field data from warehouses shows noticeable reductions in near-miss incidents after retrofit.
Yes, the 40.47 inch length and 11.75 inch width are tailored for standard mezzanine spans, while the 2 inch channel size provides solid anchoring and compatibility with common frame systems. Its 12 gauge steel and mill-galvanized finish deliver long-term durability against corrosion and wear from routine foot traffic and pallet handling.
This product is OSHA compliant, meeting essential workplace safety requirements for slip resistance and footing on elevated platforms. While it does not list CE or IP certifications in the provided data, the OSHA compliance status supports safe usage in most U.S. industrial facilities. Always verify local code adoption and facility-specific audits during procurement.
Expect extended service life due to steel construction and corrosion resistance from mill-galvanization, reducing replacement intervals and maintenance downtime. The 6.2 lb weight aids handling during installation and reconfiguration, while the open-grate design simplifies cleaning and drainage. Over time, lower maintenance costs and fewer safety incidents contribute to a favorable ROI.
