Eaton 53010 12 AL Grip Strut Plank - OSHA Compliant
Part Number: 53010 12 AL
Quick Summary
Eaton 53010 12 AL Grip Strut Plank provides slip-resistant aluminum safety decking for elevated platforms, catwalks, and mezzanines. Engineers often confront heavy, brittle grating that slows installation and increases maintenance time; this grip strut solves that by delivering durable footing without sacrificing ease of handling. The product is OSHA compliant, offering reliable traction and compliant performance in busy industrial facilities. Built from lightweight 12-gauge aluminum with a .100 inch thickness and a 3 inch channel, it ships and installs with minimal effort. For longer runs, the 144 inch length paired with an 11.75 inch width provides efficient coverage while keeping total weight manageable, reducing crane or forklift time and cost.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 53010 12 AL
Grip Strut five diamond plank delivers a high-traction surface that reduces slip hazards in wet or oily environments. This translates to measurable safety improvements and fewer incident-related downtime on busy catwalks and mezzanines. It is ideally applied where non-slip footing is required, such as maintenance docks, loading ramps, and elevated platforms. Aluminum construction with 12 gauge and .100 inch thickness offers corrosion resistance and overall weight savings. The lighter material improves handling during installation and reduces forklift fatigue, speeding up project timelines. This makes it especially suitable for temporary or semi-permanent walkways in industrial facilities. Dimensions of 144 inch length and 11.75 inch width maximize coverage with fewer joints, while the 3 inch channel size accommodates typical support frames. At 2.22 lb per plank, installation remains manageable for teams in the field. These specs translate into lower labor costs and safer, longer-lasting decking. Compliance with OSHA standards ensures consistent safety performance across shifts and facilities. The integration with Eaton B-Line series channel systems streamlines procurement and compatibility, reducing stocking of dissimilar gratings. The product's modular length supports efficient cutting and field fitting without compromising strength. Industry professionals value the combination of grip pattern and aluminum durability for durable mezzanine decking, maintenance platforms, and more. Real-world installations report reduced maintenance and longer intervals between replacements due to corrosion resistance. By selecting 53010 12 AL, engineers balance safety with cost control, especially on projects demanding long spans and robust traction.
