FAQs
53012 8.5 GL is designed for straightforward integration with standard 3 in channel framing. The plank length (102 in) minimizes field splices, while the 7 lb weight facilitates handling on site. Use compatible mounting hardware and common fasteners rated for steel grating to ensure secure attachment. Verify channel spacing and support structure to maintain optimal stiffness and load performance across the span.
The five diamond pattern on the Grip Strut surface provides engineered traction by creating multiple micro-edges that grip shoe soles under wet or oily conditions. This design reduces slip risk compared with plain or flat gratings and supports safer foot traffic on walkways, platforms, and stair landings in industrial settings.
Ideal for manufacturing floors, distribution centers, chemical plants, and outdoor loading docks, this plank supports safe, compliant footing on mezzanines, catwalks, and platform decking. Its corrosion-resistant finish makes it suitable for humid environments, while the durable 12 gauge steel handles high-traffic load scenarios common in these sectors.
Yes, the 53012 8.5 GL Grip Strut plank is OSHA compliant, aligning with required safety standards for industrial walkways and platforms. This compliance helps facilitate audits, training accuracy, and overall safety program adherence in production and logistics environments.
The mill-galvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance that lowers maintenance needs in harsh environments, extending service life and reducing replacement cycles. With a long 102 in span and straightforward installation, sites can deploy safer surfaces quickly, reducing downtime and improving workflow continuity, resulting in a favorable total cost of ownership over the product’s life cycle.
