Safe-T-Span High Load Capacity
Fibergrate's High Load Capacity (HL) pultruded FRP grating capitalizes on the inherent benefits of pultruded grating products and is engineered to carry forklift and tractor-trailer loads that traditional FRP grating is unable to support. This heavy-duty grating is rated up to H20 loads in all five depths (see details, below), are constructed of fire-resistant vinyl ester resin, and come in dark gray with an aluminum oxide grit surface. Please contact Grating Pacific's engineering team to determine the best product for your high load requirements.HL Advantages

High Load Capacity Grating Details
Allowable Load Spans
NOTES:
- Load is carried by the grating load bars immediate under wheel + four additional load bars adjacent to wheel.
- Allowable Span is based on a 0.25" maximum deflection and a Factor of Safety of 3.0. Other criteria may be required by certain construction codes. Check code requirements to determine design criteria.
- ALLOWABLE SPAN IS STRONGLY DEPENDENT ON WHEEL WIDTH AND VEHICLE WEIGHT/LOAD CAPACITY. If your application varies from the values given on this table, contact Grating Pacific for application assistance.
- Load based on the AASHTO Standard Truck Load as defined in AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 2nd Ed. This does not imply that the allowable span meets the deflection requirements of this specification.
