What is heavy-duty steel grating?
Quick answer
Heavy-duty grating uses deep, thick bearing bars (typically 50–100 mm deep) and often closer spacing to carry vehicle, forklift and heavy industrial loads over longer spans. It is specified by the wheel or area load it must support.
The deep bars give the high section modulus needed for concentrated wheel loads and long spans, and banding plus robust fixings handle the dynamic, vibratory loading of traffic areas. Serrated tops are common for traction.
Tell us the vehicle wheel load or area load and span, and we will size a heavy-duty bar and spacing and confirm both strength and deflection on the quote.
