Heavy-duty welded bar grating for wheel loads
Higher loads, vehicular and service areas, and heavier industrial applications. Thicker bearing bars and closer spacing for superior load capacity.
Thicker bearing bars and tighter spacing than standard welded grating for higher wheel loads and industrial traffic. Always confirm spans, supports, and deflection with released load data or project engineering.

Heavy-duty grating in industrial sites
Data centers
Limited—mainly yards and loading aprons where equipment moves across short spans; confirm vibration and deflection with the structural engineer.
Power generation
Coal crusher mezzanines, ash handling crossings, and maintenance paths under conveyor galleries where pallet jacks and drum rollers create patch loads.
Oil & gas
Module skids, pipe rack drive lanes, and laydown areas needing catalog loads beyond standard-duty welded mesh at the same span.

Provide wheel load, tire width or patch size, and span. Review heavy-duty tables and the load capacity guide.
Frequently asked questions
When is heavy-duty grating required?
When concentrated loads or vehicle paths exceed the allowable values for standard-duty mesh at the project span and deflection limit.
Does heavy-duty mean only thicker bars?
Usually deeper/thicker bearing bars and sometimes tighter cross bar spacing. The exact combination is table-specific.
Can heavy-duty mesh be serrated?
Yes, for wet or oily routes where slip resistance is part of the hazard assessment.
How does this relate to trench covers?
Both use load classes; see heavy-duty trench covers for linear openings.
What drawings help quotation?
Plan showing wheel track, support spacing, and any trench or cut-out.
Is stainless available in heavy duty?
Yes for corrosive yards; note deflection and fastening compatibility with stainless supports.
