Anti-slip Grating

Anti-slip steel grating (also known as slip-resistant grating) is a type of bar

grating A grating is any regularly spaced collection of essentially identical, parallel, elongated elements. Gratings usually consist of a single set of elongated elements, but can consist of two sets, in which case the second set is usually perpendicul ...

designed to prevent slippage.

Steel Steel is an alloy made up of iron with added carbon to improve its strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron. Many other elements may be present or added. Stainless steels that are corrosion- and oxidation-resistant ty ...

bar grating is manufactured in a variety of methods. Welded bar grating consists of load bars electrically fuse welded to cross bars. Pressure-locked bar grating, or swaged grating, is where steel rods are forced through and locked in load bars. Riveted bar grating is where the load bars are riveted to the cross bars. There are wide varieties of trade names for each type manufactured.

Perforate A perforation is a small hole in a thin material or web. There is usually more than one perforation in an organized fashion, where all of the holes collectively are called a ''perforation''. The process of creating perforations is called perfor ...

sheet metal Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Thicknesses can vary significantly; ex ...

. Examples of trade names are Traction Tread, Safety Tread, Shur Step, Ry-Tread and Tread Grip. The excellent self-cleaning characteristics of plain surface grating make it suitable for the majority of applications. In the presence of fluids or materials that could cause the top surface of the grating to become wet or slippery, specification of the optional serrated surface should be considered. When serrated grating is specified, the bearing bar depth must be 1/4 inch greater than the sizes shown on the load tables to provide the equivalent strength of non-serrated gratings. {{metalworking-stub Pedestrian infrastructure
