Eaton MG62518MM 4.8 Grate-Lock Traction Grip 2.5in Channel
Part Number: MG62518MM 4.8
Quick Summary
MG62518MM 4.8 Grate-Lock traction grip interlock provides safe footing and non-slip traction for industrial catwalks and mezzanines. For engineers and maintenance teams, slippery gratings are a leading cause of near misses and downtime; this interlock system reduces that risk with a rugged, mill-galvanized carbon steel surface. The datasheet notes Not Applicable for Certifications, yet the design aligns with Eaton B-Line grate assemblies for compatible installations and predictable performance. By specifying this option, you gain reliable footing, easier installation, and extended service life, supporting safety programs while helping to control operating costs. Key terms include safety gratings, traction grip, interlock, 2.5 in channel, and 57.6 in length for precise project briefs.

FAQs
MG62518MM 4.8 is designed to integrate with Eaton B-Line Grate-Lock assemblies. Begin by confirming channel size compatibility (2.5 in) and matching interlock type (Male/Male) to your existing grate panels. Align grating joints, secure with standard fasteners, and verify a flush, non-slip surface along the full run. In practice, plan for existing support spacing and ensure end-to-end continuity to avoid gaps that could compromise traction.
The data specify an 18 gauge carbon steel construction with a mill-galvanized finish, delivering robust rigidity and corrosion resistance. While explicit slip-resistance and load ratings aren’t published here, the interlock design targets safe, non-slip footing on elevated walkways. For critical load and slip performance, reference Eaton’s specification sheet MG62518MM 4.8 and perform site testing under expected service loads to confirm compliance with internal safety targets.
Yes, MG62518MM 4.8 is suited for heavy manufacturing environments that require durable, non-slip footing on grating surfaces. Its 57.6 in length supports long runs, while the 2.5 in channel size and 18 gauge carbon steel core provide a balance of strength and manageable weight. When paired with Grate-Lock gratings, it delivers consistent traction and reduced maintenance across high-traffic process areas.
The provided data list Compliances and Certifications as Not Applicable for this model. Despite that, verify your facility’s regulatory requirements (CE, IP ratings, SIL, etc.) with your procurement and safety teams before installation. Always cross-check with Eaton’s official documentation (spec sheets and catalogs) and local codes to ensure your project meets all applicable standards.
Adopting this traction grip interlock can improve safety metrics by reducing slip-related incidents, contributing to fewer downtime events and lower incident-related costs. The mill-galvanized finish and carbon steel construction offer long service life with minimal maintenance, enhancing asset longevity and predictable budgeting. When calculating ROI, factor in installation ease, compatibility with existing Grate-Lock systems, and the reduced need for frequent replacements on high-traffic gratings.
