FAQs
This model uses a 3" channel size, with overall plank dimensions of 200.76 in length and 11.75 in width. It is designed to drop into common frame systems without heavy on-site fabrication, allowing faster retrofit. For best results, align with standard grating supports, verify cross-ride alignment, and ensure proper clip-in fastening to maintain slip resistance and load distribution during use.
The five diamond pattern provides a defined tread texture that improves traction, even in wet or oily conditions. Coupled with 12-gauge steel and a mill-galvanized finish, the plank delivers durable performance suitable for OSHA compliance, helping facilities meet safe walking-work standards and maintain consistent safety records across operations.
Yes. The Grip Strut plank is designed for safe, non-slip footing on elevated walkways such as mezzanines and catwalks. Its 200.76" length and 3" channel size support long spans when paired with compatible support structures. The durable steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish help ensure reliable service life in busy production environments with frequent foot traffic.
The plank features a mill-galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance suitable for many outdoor and damp environments. For prolonged outdoor exposure or harsh chemicals, periodic inspection of the grating surface and fittings is recommended, with cleaning to remove debris that could impact traction. Replace any damaged sections promptly to maintain safety performance.
