How is steel grating installed and fixed?
Grating panels sit on supporting beams and are secured with grating clips (saddle clips or G-clips) bolted around the bearing bars, or by welding to the supports. Clips allow removal for access; welding is permanent.
A typical fix uses a clip above and a saddle below the bearing bar, bolted together to clamp the panel to the support — a removable arrangement that must match the approved connection detail. Panels should overlap supports by a minimum bearing length and be banded at cut edges.
For permanent installations panels can be tack-welded, but clips are preferred where panels must be lifted for maintenance access. We can supply matching clips and banding with your order.
