Eaton 52512 8 GL Grip Strut Plank - OSHA Compliant
Part Number: 52512 8 GL
Quick Summary
Eaton 52512 8 GL Grip Strut is a steel safety plank that delivers non-slip footing for industrial walkways. Facility managers often wrestle with slippery grating during wet conditions and peak production shifts. OSHA-compliant, steel construction with a mill-galvanized finish provides durable, corrosion-resistant performance across environments. The product's 96 inch length and 2.5 inch channel height support long spans with fewer joints, speeding retrofits and reducing installation labor. Its 12 gauge steel and robust grip-strut geometry stand up to daily traffic while maintaining compliant slip resistance. In practice, this translates to safer work areas, lower maintenance costs, and improved overall throughput for warehouses, manufacturing floors, and outdoor platforms. The value is especially clear when you need scalable length options and easy integration with standard safety rails and framing.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 52512 8 GL
Five-diamond grip strut surface provides exceptional slip resistance on wet or oily floors. Business impact: enhances workforce safety and reduces unplanned downtime due to slips, helping facilities meet OSHA safety programs and audit requirements. Application: ideal for warehouse catwalks, mezzanines, stair landings, and equipment platforms where workers frequently pause or pass through. By dispersing liquid drainage and providing predictable footing, it also minimizes trip hazards during shift changes. Long 96 inch length with 11.75 inch width and 2.5 inch channel size supports extended spans with fewer joints. Business impact: reduces field fabrication time and the number of joints, lowering installation labor and maintenance overhead. Application: favorable for retrofits and new installations in industrial facilities where continuous gratings are desired. Robust 12 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish delivers durable corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business impact: extends service life and lowers repainting or replacement costs, improving total cost of ownership. Application: suitable for outdoor and indoor installations across manufacturing, logistics, and processing plants. OSHA Compliant construction ensures alignment with workplace safety requirements. Business impact: simplifies regulatory adherence and reduces risk during audits. Application: applicable to regulated facilities such as warehouses and factories. Compatibility with standard safety grating and framing systems enables quick retrofits with minimal structural modification. Business impact: reduces project timelines and on-site labor. Application: supports integration with existing B-Line series or similar safety railing and walkway frameworks, streamlining upgrades across facilities.

FAQs
Installation relies on the plank’s 96 inch length and 2.5 inch channel size, with 11.75 inch width and 12 gauge steel. Use standard fasteners or anchoring methods suitable for mill-galvanized steel and ensure alignment with adjacent safety railing or framing. OSHA compliance should be verified on-site through the project’s safety plan.
The five-diamond surface creates a textured, high-friction contact pattern that channels liquids away and provides predictable footing. This design lowers slip risk on water, oil, or grease-prone surfaces and supports safer foot traffic in maintenance zones and loading areas.
Yes. With a mill-galvanized finish and steel construction, the plank is designed for durability in varied environments. Its long length and robust channel size are well-suited for mezzanines, outdoor platforms, and warehouse walkways requiring strong, slip-resistant safety grating.
The product is OSHA Compliant, ensuring alignment with general workplace safety standards. CE, SIL, or IP certifications may vary by configuration; refer to the Eaton datasheet or catalog section for specific certification details and available options for your region or project requirements.
The 96 inch length reduces joints and installation time, lowering labor costs during installation. The mill-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, reducing repainting and replacement needs, which translates to lower life-cycle maintenance costs and improved facility uptime.
