FAQs
The 53012 7.08 GL Grip Strut is designed for straightforward integration with standard 3 inch B-Line channel frames. The 3" channel size aligns with common safety grating mounting rails, reducing field modification. When paired with compatible framing, installation is faster, with fewer on-site adjustments and less risk of misalignment in mezzanines and catwalks.
Facilities with wet, oily, or dusty floors see the biggest payoff. The five-diamond pattern provides superior traction, reducing slip risk on stairways, work platforms, and elevated walkways. Industries like manufacturing, warehousing, and process industries gain measurable safety improvements and smoother material handling when using this plank in high-traffic zones.
Yes. The 53012 7.08 GL Grip Strut is specified as OSHA Compliant, making it a solid choice for facilities aiming to meet standard safety requirements. While it does not list SIL, CE, or IP ratings, its design and finish support typical regulatory expectations for industrial safety gratings on mezzanines and access routes.
Key factors include choosing the correct length (84.96 in) to minimize field cutting, pairing with a compatible 3 in channel system for quick mounting, and selecting mill-galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. The 12 gauge thickness provides durability without excessive weight, aiding handling by installation teams and reducing rework from damaged decking.
With a 12-gauge steel core and mill-galvanized finish, expect long service life in harsh environments, especially where moisture or chemicals are present. Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection for wear or corrosion and ensuring fasteners and channel connections remain secure. In well-maintained installations, this plank offers predictable lifecycle costs and reduced repainting needs.
