FAQs
The 53012 3.8 BL is designed for seamless compatibility with Eaton B-Line channel framing. It measures 45.6 inches in length, 11.75 inches in width, and uses a 3-inch channel with 12-gauge steel and a plain finish, weighing about 7 pounds. It matches standard B-Line grating modules and uses common fasteners, simplifying retrofit projects and accelerating installation on existing platforms.
Key performance specs include the five-diamond Grip Strut pattern for enhanced traction, 12-gauge steel construction for durability, and OSHA compliance for regulatory safety. The dimensions provide consistent load paths and stable footing on elevated walkways, mezzanines, and catwalks, while the plain finish supports cleaning cycles in manufacturing environments.
The plank is primarily suited for indoor industrial applications where humidity is controlled. The 12-gauge steel with a plain finish delivers durability but is not specified for prolonged outdoor exposure without protective coatings. For outdoor installations, consider protective finishes and verify compatibility with your climate and maintenance plan.
The product is OSHA compliant, aligning with standard workplace safety rules and reducing audit risk. Availability of catalog and specification data supports QA records and traceability, while safety documentation aids facilities pursuing certifications and ISO-based safety targets.
Benefits include longer service life in demanding environments, reduced maintenance costs, and fewer slip-related incidents, translating into lower downtime and improved worker productivity. The 7-pound plank aids quick installations, and the 45.6 by 11.75-inch footprint provides efficient coverage per module, reducing material waste and procurement complexity during facility upgrades.
