 very
year industrial accidents - falls, tripping over debris, slipping on wet or greasy
surfaces - cost millions of dollars in lost manhours 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 other grating products. Its serrated surface gives
maximum slip protection and performance under practically all conditions and in every
direction. |
|||
| The serrated surface is designed in an open diamond pattern. This allows drainage of fluids, mud, chips, and other accident-causing debris. | |||
| In addition to
safety, the resilient surface of GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating
cushions the impact of footfalls thereby lessening worker fatigue and increasing
efficiency. GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating is your best
safety buy. These cost-cutting and production-improving advantages spell out why: |
 |
||
|
|
|||
| SAFER, SERRATED SURFACE- Grips soles securely - in all directions - in practically every place. These non-slip GRIP STRUT® Grating 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. | |||
|
|
|||
| MAINTENANCE-FREE OPEN DESIGN- 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. It is easily cleaned with brush, liquid or air spray to minimize overall maintenance. | |||
|
|
|||
| HIGH LOAD CAPACITY, LONG LIFE- 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. This sturdy construction provides the advantages of heavy load-carrying capacity with minimal deflection; rugged durability with longer-lasting performance. | |||
|
|
|||
| FAST INSTALLATION-
Light, easy-to-handle planks make installation simple and quick. 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.
Several attachment devices permit fastening to most existing surfaces allowing for fast
installation or disassembly. |
|||
|
|||
 |
ECONOMICAL TO INSTALL, USE- In addition to low material cost and nominal erection cost, GRIP STRUT®Safety Grating also saves with its long-lasting, rust-resisting materials and finishes. Standard mill-galvanized finish resists corrosion to provide lasting surfaces. High-strength aluminum and Types 304 and 316L stainless steel are available to provide maximum corrosion resistance. Black unpainted steel is available for installations requiring hot dipped galvanized finish after fabrication. These lightweight but brawny panels permit substantial reduction in structural steel requirements. The open design is self-cleaning and virtually maintenance free. | ||
|
|
|||
| VERSATILE IN
APPLICATION- A variety of Standard widths and channel heights combine with
numerous Non-Standard shapes and sizes to meet almost any requirement of strength, size,
and durability, weight, finish, appearance and application. GRIP STRUT®
Safety Grating combines safety and durability with ease of fabrication and
versatility. One piece construction minimizes the need for plant fabrication.
Special shapes and forming can be accomplished to suit unusual requirements. It's simple and economical to apply finish coatings because all surfaces are accessible to brush or spray. GRIP STRUT® Grating may be hot dipped galvanized after fabrication, anodized, plated, plastic-coated or otherwise finished to suit job requirements. |

| SERRATED GRIP
STRUT GRATING- Standard Serrated
Surface offers excellent slip resistance wherever maximum safety underfoot is
essential. Material meets anti-slip values set forth in Federal Specification
RR-G-1602A. NON-SERRATED GRIP STRUT GRATING- For all-purpose use where a high degree of slip resistance is required plus a smoother texture and design. Product is non-stock and subject to extended lead time. STANDARD GRIP STRUT GRATING PLANKS- Available in materials and sizes to meet most load/span requirements. May be used as is or banded, cut, welded, or punched to suit requirements. |

| PROOF OF PERFORMANCE | |
| Tested by an independent laboratory for slip resistance according to standards and methods established by Federal Specification RR-G-1602D, GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating proved its superiority by exceeding all requirements of this specification. |
|
| The standards were exacting - five shoe sole materials tested in three directions under five conditions: dry, greasy, muddy, soapy and icy. GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating tested 10% to 180% more slip-resistant than similar materials, depending on shoe materials and surface conditions. | |
| Fewer accidents, with
resultant lower insurance costs and reduced workman's compensation losses, should be the
logical reason for specifying GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating for
walking-working surfaces and stair treads. Values determined in accordance with standards for slip-resistance established by Federal Specification RR-G-1602D. The values indicated are an average of values obtained for five sole materials (leather, boot rubber, shoe rubber, Neolite and Hypalon) tested in three directions (longitudinally, transversely and diagonally) for the surface conditions noted. Values are in pounds of force necessary to move a 175 lb. load one inch across the surface of grating. |
