Factory & Production Capabilities
GoGrating's manufacturing base is located in Anping County, Hebei — the wire-mesh and grating capital of China, where more than 70% of the country's grating output is produced and over 800 fabrication plants operate within a 30 km radius. That cluster gives us short, reliable supply lines for bearing bar steel, cross-bar wire, FRP resins, and hot-dip galvanizing capacity, so export orders move from drawing approval to dispatch without outsourcing bottlenecks.
We run a custom-order operation, not a stock-SKU warehouse. Each panel of steel grating or FRP grating is fabricated to the buyer's specification: bearing bars from 20×3 mm up to 100×9 mm, pitch in the 19-space and 15-space series per YB/T 4001.1 and ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531, and panel dimensions cut to order. Surface options cover hot-dip galvanized, untreated, painted, and stainless 304/316.
Our production is organized around the buyers we serve — EPC contractors, procurement engineers, and importers/distributors shipping to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia, and Latin America, with the FRP line also serving US buyers. See typical grating applications for the project types our lines are tooled for.
Manufacturing Facilities & Processes
Steel grating fabrication follows a controlled sequence: bearing bar slitting and straightening, automated pressure-resistance welding that forges twisted cross bars into the bearing bars (with press-locked grating available as an alternative construction), panel cutting to drawing, end-banding and toe-plate welding, then surface treatment. Hot-dip galvanizing is performed to ASTM A123, with coating thickness verified by magnetic gauge before packing.
FRP grating production runs on two parallel processes: molded grating, where continuous glass rovings are laid into heated molds and wet-out for a one-piece mesh panel, and pultrusion lines producing high-glass-content load-bar profiles assembled into panels. Resin systems — orthophthalic, isophthalic, or vinyl ester — are selected for the project's chemical environment, and covered or gritted anti-slip tops are applied in-house.
Quality control is certified to ISO 9001 and applied at every stage: incoming mill certificates, weld shear and dimensional checks against YB/T 4001.1 / ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 tolerances, zinc coating verification, and pre-shipment inspection with photo documentation. We do not publish generic load figures — engineered load tables matched to your span and standard are provided on request. Request a quote with your drawings or CAD files and our engineers will confirm specification, tonnage, and schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can GoGrating produce grating to our project drawings?
Yes — custom fabrication is our standard mode of production, not the exception. Send CAD, PDF, or hand-marked drawings via our Request a Quote page and our engineers will confirm bearing bar size, pitch, panel dimensions, cutouts, banding, and surface treatment before production begins.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Because every order is made to specification, there is no rigid catalog MOQ. Practical minimums depend on setup and container economics, and trial orders for new distributors are handled case by case. Share your panel list and we will confirm feasibility in the quotation.
What standards does GoGrating manufacture to?
Steel grating is fabricated to YB/T 4001.1 and ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531, with hot-dip galvanizing to ASTM A123. The factory operates under ISO 9001 with CE compliance available. Engineered load tables for your span and standard are provided on request rather than as generic figures.
How long is a typical production lead time?
Lead time depends on specification, order volume, and the galvanizing or resin-cure schedule, so we confirm a firm production and dispatch date at quotation. Providing complete drawings up front shortens engineering review and is the fastest way to lock in a delivery schedule.
