Eaton Specification Sheet - 52014 12 BL
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Grip Strut five-diamond plank texture provides outstanding traction on wet or oily floors, dramatically reducing slip risk and contributing to safer, more productive work environments. This pattern enhances footing in high-traffic walkways, mezzanines, and platform edges where slip hazards are common. In practice, the textured surface translates to fewer near-misses and smoother, faster worker movement through critical zones, boosting throughput and operator confidence. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Constructed from 14-gauge steel with a plain finish, the plank offers excellent durability while remaining robust enough for daily industrial use. The heavy-duty material resists deformation under load and stands up to routine traffic, corrosion in non-coastal settings, and impact from movable equipment. The finish and shape also support easy cleaning and disinfecting in cleanroom-adjacent areas, while still delivering long service life with minimal maintenance in manufacturing, logistics, and process facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: At 144 inches long and 11.75 inches wide with a 2-inch channel size, the plank provides extended, modular coverage and straightforward mounting to standard framing. The precise dimensions simplify layout planning, reduce field cuts, and improve consistency across multiple runs. The light 4.4 lb weight per plank enables safer handling during installation and replacement in constrained spaces, contributing to lower on-site labor time. Feature → Business Impact → Application: OSHA-compliant construction aligns with regulatory safety programs, easing audits and compliance reporting. The product's documented specifications support accurate bill of materials and standardization across sites. This clarity helps maintenance teams forecast replacement cycles and ensure continued safe operation on elevated walkways and work platforms, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties and downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with 2-inch channel framing streamlines integration into existing safety grating systems, reducing installation time and minimizing downtime. The plain finish permits various accessory options, including fasteners and coatings, to align with facility standards. Overall, the plank delivers predictable performance, lowering lifecycle costs while maintaining strict safety standards and contributing to improved return on safety investments.

FAQs
Installers should align the plank with compatible 2 inch channel framing, fasten at regular intervals to prevent movement, and ensure the five-diamond grip surface is oriented for optimal traction. Check for level mounting, use appropriate hardware, and verify that joint gaps are minimized to reduce slip risks. Plan for access clearance and routine inspection intervals.
The five-diamond pattern of Grip Strut provides high-traction ribs that channel liquids away from the contact surface, improving grip under wet or oily conditions. This textured surface design reduces slip risk and enhances user confidence during frequent traverses on walkways, stairs, and work platforms.
Yes. The 2-inch channel size and standard dimensions are designed to integrate with common safety grating frameworks. Confirm the channel connections and fastener types in your facility’s safety plan, and ensure compatible mounting hardware to maintain a continuous non-slip surface across transitions.
This product is OSHA Compliant, aligning with regulatory safety requirements for industrial walkways and platforms. While no CE, SIL, or IP ratings are listed for this model, the compliance and documented specifications support standard safety program audits and consistent installation practices across facilities.
The 14-gauge steel construction with a plain finish delivers durability and low maintenance over a long service life, reducing replacement frequency and downtime. Improved traction reduces slip-related incidents, supporting safer operations and potentially lower insurance and incident-related costs, delivering a favorable return on safety investments over time.
