Without abrasive nosing
Feature: Steel construction with a durable black finish provides robust load-bearing capability for stair treads and safety platforms. The material choice minimizes corrosion potential in harsh environments and supports long service life. Business impact: Fewer replacements, lower maintenance costs, and predictable performance across shifts and seasons. Application: Ideal for industrial facilities, warehouses, and commercial stair systems where high traffic and equipment movement demand reliable carrier plates that stay in place. Feature: Precise overall dimensions—2 in depth, 2 in height, and 9.5 in width—paired with a compact 1.6 lb weight. This combination creates a practical mounting envelope that fits standard treads and channel rails without requiring extensive modification. Business impact: Faster installations, reduced field adjustments, and lower labor hours during retrofit projects. Application: Retrofit scenarios with limited space, tight tolerances, or legacy safety systems where exact mounting points are critical. Feature: Without abrasive nosing minimizes snag hazards and edge wear on adjacent surfaces. The smooth profile supports safer foot traffic, easier cleaning, and extended life for stair components. Business impact: Enhanced workplace safety metrics, reduced risk of damage to adjacent equipment, and streamlined inspections. Application: Busy industrial environments, warehousing operations, and facilities with pedestrian and forklift traffic where smooth transitions matter. Feature: Seamless compatibility with Eaton B-Line safety line components ensures straightforward procurement, consistent aesthetics, and reliable mounting. Business impact: Simplified sourcing, lower risk of incompatibility, and accelerated project timelines thanks to plug-and-play integration with rails, supports, and grating products. Application: New installations or upgrades within existing B-Line systems, including stair treads, landings, and safety enclosures. Feature: Manageable weight and simple handling—1.6 lb helps installers move, position, and secure the plate with minimal tools. Business impact: Reduced labor costs, fewer handling injuries, and faster turnover on safety projects. Application: Field crews installing safety stairs in warehouses, plants, and distribution centers benefit from predictable, repeatable mounting procedures and consistent results across multiple sites.
