Grip Strut five diamond plank pattern delivers superior traction, directly reducing slip risk on industrial walkways and platforms. This translates to fewer incident-related downtime and a safer work environment, addressing a core efficiency metric for operations. The 14 gauge steel construction combined with a mill-galvanized finish offers robust strength and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh facilities and reducing replacement frequency. With a 2.5" channel size and 96" length, installation aligns with common safety grating systems, enabling rapid deployment along catwalks, mezzanines, and loading areas while maintaining uniform load distribution. The product’s OSHA compliance supports regulatory alignment for safety programs and third-party audits, helping maintenance teams meet site requirements without compromising productivity. Additionally, the 11.75" width provides ample footing area, improving worker confidence and reducing fatigue over long shifts. Compatibility with Eaton B-Line safety grating ecosystems simplifies stocking and maintenance, lowering total cost of ownership. In practice, facilities report measurable gains in traversal speed and a reduction in safety-related interruptions.

FAQs
The 2.5" channel size is designed to fit standard support structures used with Eaton B-Line safety grating. Plan for compatible mounting anchors, proper fasteners, and alignment with adjacent tread sections to ensure continuous non-slip footing. Confirm beam spacing and support ratings per OSHA guidelines and verify that gauges and galvanization are suitable for the facility’s exposure conditions.
14 gauge steel provides a strong, durable substrate capable of supporting typical walkway loads in industrial settings. The mill-galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance in damp or mildly corrosive environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance needs compared with unfinished steel. This combination is well-suited for long-term safety gratings in manufacturing and processing facilities.
Yes. The 96" length with 11.75" width and 2.5" channel design is optimized for standard mezzanine and catwalk applications. Its non-slip Grip Strut pattern enhances footing on elevated walkways, while the 14 gauge steel and mill-galvanized finish provide durability and weathering resistance required for continuous operation in production environments.
The product is OSHA Compliant, ensuring alignment with typical workplace safety regulations for engineered walkways and safety gratings. While other certifications like CE or IP ratings are not specified for this exact model in the provided data, OSHA compliance is a primary regulator the installation should satisfy for many U.S. facilities.
The combination of durable steel, corrosion-resistant finish, and straightforward installation reduces maintenance cycles and replacement costs. Improved slip resistance lowers incident-related downtime, while universal compatibility with standard framing accelerates project timelines. Over the life of the installation, facilities typically experience lower total cost of ownership and improved worker productivity.
