Steel grating overview (bar & platform systems)

Factory-direct steel grating for industrial flooring, walkways, drainage, platforms, and access systems. Custom fabrication is available according to drawings, dimensions, finish requirements, and project specifications.

Industrial steel bar grating for platforms and walkways
Welded and press-locked families—see bar grating for detailed models.

Product types

Select type and surface based on environment, safety, and installation needs.

Welded Bar Grating

Industrial standard for platforms and walkways. Strong and cost-effective.

Plain surface Serrated surface Custom cut-outs

Press-Locked Grating

Clean appearance and dimensional consistency. Suitable for industrial and architectural use.

Plain surface Serrated option Panels / fences

Used where clean appearance, consistent spacing, and architectural or industrial crossover requirements are important.

Key specifications

Typical project ranges are shown below for procurement planning. Final selection should match span, loading, finish, fabrication scope, and governing standards in the quotation.

Bearing bar size range Typical project range: 25x3 mm to 100x10 mm, depending on span and load class
Bearing bar pitch Common project pitch: 30 / 40 / 60 mm, subject to specification basis
Cross bar pitch Common project pitch: 50 / 100 mm, subject to fabrication method
Panel size range Custom to drawings; banding and frame options available
Surface options Plain or serrated
Finish options Hot-dip galvanized as the standard baseline; painted, black steel, or stainless by project requirement
Material options Carbon steel as the main supply basis; stainless steel and aluminum available for selected project conditions
Typical applications Platforms, walkways, stairs, drainage covers, maintenance access

Materials & finishes

Specify material and finish based on corrosion exposure, maintenance, and project requirements.

Carbon steel

Common choice for industrial applications. Finish selection is critical for corrosion protection.

Stainless steel

Selected for corrosive, hygienic, or washdown environments where lifecycle durability and maintenance access justify the upgrade.

Hot-dip galvanized

Primary finish for long-term corrosion protection in outdoor and industrial environments.

Other finishes

Project-dependent options include painted systems, duplex protection strategies, or untreated supply for downstream fabrication where agreed in writing.

Standards supported

Manufacturing and quotation can reference project-specific standards as confirmed in order documentation.

GB ANSI/NAAMM ASTM EN/BS AS/NZS

For detailed reference, see Standards & Reference Specifications.

Quality / inspection

Focused checks to support consistent fit, finish, and project documentation.

  • Material verification
  • Fit-up inspection
  • Dimensional checks
  • Finish inspection
  • Packing review before shipment
