Every year industrial accidents – falls, tripping over debris, slipping
on wet or greasy surfaces – cost millions of dollars in lost man-hours
and production. By reducing accidents, insurance costs can frequently be
decreased. GRIP STRUT Safety Grating helps reduce accident rates by providing
a safer walking-working surface than any other available grating
product. Its serrated surface gives maximum slip protection and performance
under practically all conditions and in every direction.
In addition to safety, the resilient surface of GRIP STRUT cushions
the impact of footfalls thereby lessening worker fatigue and increasing
his efficiency. GRIP STRUT is your best safety buy. These cost-cutting
and production-improving advantages spell out why.
These non-slip GRIP STRUT surfaces are ideal for inside or outside
locations where mud, ice, snow, oil and detergents can create hazardous
walking conditions. Openings are small enough to catch most falling tools
and other dangerous objects.
Permits quick drainage of fluids, chips, grease and mud. Any ice accumulation
shears easily under normal foot pressure. Open design allows convenient
access for cleaning.
High strength-to-weight performance is achieved through depth of section
and structural design. Bridged struts with integral side channels form
a plank that can support loads with minimum transverse and longitudinal
deflection. There are no rivets or pressure joints to break or loosen.
This sturdy construction provides the advantages of heavy load carrying
capacity with minimal deflection, rugged durability with longer-lasting
performance.
With 4-1/2 inch high side channels, GRIP STRUT Walkways meet OSHA requirements
for toeboards on elevated structures.
Light, easy-to-handle planks make installation simpler and quicker.
They can be handled by one man. Most sections are rapidly bolted, clamped
or welded into place, easily field cut at virtually any angle, or fabricated
to adapt to field conditions.
In addition to low material cost and nominal erection cost, GRIP STRUT
also saves with its long-lasting, rust-resisting materials. Standard mill-galvanized
finish resists corrosion. High-strength aluminum and Types 304 and 316L
stainless steel are available to provide maximum corrosion resistance.
Black unpainted steel available for installations requiring hot dipped
galvanized finish after fabrication. These light-weight but brawny panels
permit substantial reduction in structural steel requirements.
A variety of standard widths and channel heights combine with numerous
non-standard shapes and sizes. One piece construction – no welds or rivets
to fail – minimizes need for plant fabrication.
