Eaton 53012 18.98 GL Grip Strut plank - OSHA Compliant
Part Number: 53012 18.98 GL
Quick Summary
Grip Strut plank from Eaton provides a durable, slip-resistant walking surface for safe access and maintenance in industrial facilities. Facilities often struggle with slippery gratings that cause trips, downtime, and injuries, especially in wet or oily areas. OSHA Compliant safety grating uses steel construction, 12 gauge material, and mill-galvanized finish to meet common industry safety standards and extend service life. The product’s 227.76 in length, 11.75 in width, and 3 in channel size support long runs with fewer joints, while compatibility with Eaton's B-Line system speeds installation and reduces on-site labor. Together these features translate to improved worker safety, reduced maintenance costs, and a stronger, compliant footing in busy environments.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 53012 18.98 GL
Durable steel construction with a 12 gauge specification delivers long service life and corrosion resistance, reducing replacement costs and downtime in demanding environments. The mill-galvanized finish enhances outdoor and damp-area performance, supporting safer walkways across manufacturing floors and loading docks. The five diamond Grip Strut pattern provides reliable, non-slip footing, particularly in wet or oily conditions, which lowers slip-and-fall incidents and associated insurance exposure. Key dimensions—227.76 in length, 11.75 in width, and a 3 in channel size—enable longer run sections with fewer joints, simplifying installation and minimizing field fabrication. OSHA compliance reinforces regulatory alignment for safety programs, while compatibility with Eaton B-Line channel systems accelerates deployment and reduces installation labor hours. The 7 lb weight per plank aids handling without compromising structural integrity, offering a favorable balance of strength and install-ability. These factors collectively support faster project timelines, improved maintenance cycles, and a lower total cost of ownership for safety gratings in industrial facilities.

FAQs
The 53012 18.98 GL is designed for seamless integration with Eaton B-Line five-diamond grip strut channel systems. It uses a 3 inch channel size, 12 gauge steel, and a mill-galvanized finish, with a broad 227.76 inch length and 11.75 inch width to span runs with minimal joints. This combination simplifies on-site alignment and reduces installation time when paired with compatible fasteners and supports.
The Grip Strut plank employs a five-diamond pattern that delivers high slip resistance under wet or oily conditions. Constructed from 12 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish, it maintains strength and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. OSHA-compliant safety grating further reinforces reliable performance and worker protection, while the 3 inch channel size supports secure mounting on standard frames.
Yes. The mill-galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor use or damp environments. The steel, 12 gauge construction offers robust load performance for walkways and platforms, while OSHA compliance ensures that the product meets typical safety requirements for outdoor and semi-exposed installations.
This product is OSHA Compliant, aligning with common safety regulations for industrial walkways and safety grating. While additional certifications are not indicated in the data, the combination of steel construction, proper gauge, and compliant finish supports meeting typical regulatory expectations for slip resistance and structural integrity in industrial settings.
The durable 12 gauge steel, mill-galvanized finish, and long 227.76 inch run length reduce replacement frequency and field fabrication costs. The non-slip Grip Strut pattern lowers slip-related incidents, contributing to fewer downtime events and insurance exposures. Compatible with Eaton B-Line systems, installation is faster, which shortens project timelines and lowers labor costs, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for safety gratings.
