GridforgeTM Welded Grating Gridforge grating is a multi purpose grating system suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Gridforge is available in numerous combinations of load bar (flat bar) depth and thickness, load bar pitch and cross rod pitch. Gridforge part numbers use the following coding system for easy identification. Welded Grating Cross Bar Pitch Bar Size 30 (100m) (20x 3) Load Bar Pitch Galv. PL - Plain SR - Serrated Eg. Part No. W30A-203-PL-HDG Part No description W = Welded Grating 30 = Load Bar Pitch A = 100mm Cross Bar Pitch (B = 50mm) 203 = Bar size (20 x3) PL =...

GridforgeTM Welded Grating INFORMATION REQUIRED FROM THE CLIENT Gridforge is available in a number of finishes/treatments: 1. Untreated – bare or black steel 2. Galvanised – Hot dipped galvanised to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4680. Minimum average coating required 610gms/sq metre. Bitumen Dipped – Coated in a bitumastic paint. Mainly used in Gold mines where zinc (galvanised) will react with Gold extraction chemicals such as arsenic. Ordering information - when placing an order for Gridforge grating, the following information is required to ensure smooth and fast delivery. 1. Grating type...

Series 30 Load Table LG Code Bar Size Cross Bar Weight kg/m2 W30 SERIES 100MM CROSS BAR PITCH Recommended maximum spans for pedestrian loading – spans to the left of black line have a deflection of less than 5mm for a 4 kPa (uniformly distributed load) therefore meet the criteria. U = uniformly distributed load in kilopascals Bending Stress Criteria 195MPa C = Concentrated Load in Kilo-Newtons Weight calculated on untreated grating D = deflection at centre in millimetres (mm) The weight of fabricated grating (eg banded and galvanised) will increase the weight per sqm by approximately 12%...

Grating Options Locker Safety Mesh – Flattened expanded metal (Part # 1220F) welded to either the topside or underside of grating to reduce the chance of small objects falling through to areas where people will be walking, or working, below. Coding example: W30A-325-PL-HDG-LSM Locker Cleats – 10x10sq bar welded at 300mm centres (nominal) on walkways with an incline of 7° or greater, to minimise the chance of slipping. Coding example: W30A-325-PL-HDG-LC Locker Plate – 5mm floor plate welded to the top of grating for applications where full coverage flooring is required. Coding examples:...

FRP Grating What is FRP? Locker Group FRP is a one piece, fully moulded fibre reinforced plastic grating. Primarily used for flooring, access walkways, platforms, screening, battery racks, bridges, sump / trench covers, machine guards and stair treads. Initially designed for caustic or corrosive environments, the product is also a viable alternative to flooring products such as aluminium or stainless steel grating. Locker Group can supply panels as stock sheets (3660x1220 mm) or custom shaped to meet specific project requirements. Benefits • Excellent strength to weight ratio. Its...
