GRATING SOLUTIONS Light Duty Steel Grating Ohio Gratings offers a wide variety of light duty steel grating styles including electro forge welded, dove tail pressure locked, riveted and swaged... Electro forge welded grating is the more traditional industrial product while dove tail pressure locked, riveted and swaged offer smoother lines and a more pleasing appearance than the typical welded grating. These products appeal to the architectural market and offer a different look that can be used not only for industrial applications but also commercial applications where a higher profile product...

THE OHIO GRATINGS STORY OGi has rallied around one key principle over the years ...“Make it Right & Ship When Promised” Since 1970, our motto has allowed us to expand successfully over the years. OGi began as a light duty steel grating fabricator and expanded into the manufacturing of heavy duty welded steel and stainless steel grating. That early success led to other expansions including the manufacturing of aluminum swaged and dovetail bar grating. A few years later we added aluminum plank to our line of flooring products and then finally fiberglass to round out our product offerings. OGi Home...

ALUMINUM FEATURES & BENEFITS Aluminum Provides a Unique Combination of Properties ...which makes it one of the most versatile engineering and construction materials available today!! As a natural resource, aluminum is our most abundant metallic element. Its light weight mass (about a third the weight of copper or steel), unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance under the majority of service conditions makes it an excellent material for the manufacturing of bar grating. Aluminum can be recycled and as a result, makes it an environmentally friendly material unlike some...

ALUMINUM PRODUCTS Aluminum Rectangular, I-Bar & SG Series, SGI Series & SGLi Series A type of pressure locked grating made by permanently attaching cross bars to bearing bars through a pressure applied swaging process. Bearing bars are either rectangular or “I” shaped and range in size from 1" through 2-1/2". Both Rectangular Bar and I-Bar are offered in 1-3/16" and 15/16" spacings, as well as ADA (July 1991) compliant spacings. Cross bars are available on 4" and 2" centers. A serrated surface (rectangular bar) or striated surface (I-Bar) is available for skid resistance. Aluminum Flush Top SGF Series...

ALUMINUM DESIGN CRITERIA The tables of safe loads which follow have been computed using the following design parameters: Design Service Available at no charge to the specifying architect/ engineer or fabricator, is access to a computer program which provides uniform load and deflection (actual or fraction of span) analysis of grating products. Just call, write or fax your design criteria – loading, span, allowable deflection, or grating size desired – and we will provide you with the information you require. U = Uniform Load - lbs/ft2 C = Concentrated Load - lbs/ft of grating width S = Section...

SG SERIES The most widely used aluminum pressure locked grating is the rectangular bar SG series. The square cross bars are assembled through punched diamond shaped holes in rectangular bearing bars and are permanently locked into place by a swaging process. It provides clean crisp lines using recessed cross bar and eliminates the need for any type of welding to form the panels. By using the most modern technology available, swaged bar grating allows for a variety of spacings including those that conform to the “Americans with Disabilities Act”. Because of its aesthetic appeal and the ability...

ALUMINUM I-BAR GRATING PROFILES AVAILABLE... SGI SERIES Aluminum I-Bar The I-Bar SGI Series offers a popular and reasonably priced alternative to rectangular bar grating. Extruded I-Bar sections have the same load carrying capacity with less weight per square foot than rectangular bars. All profiles shown below are also available with 2" cross bar centers. Product numbers would be 19-SGI-2, 15-SGI-2, 11-SGI-2 and 7-SGI-2 The striated top and bottom flanges provide a “built-in” skid resistance feature without the added cost of serration. See load tables begining on page 12. *Note: Conforms with...

GRATING PROFILES AVAILABLE... SGF SERIES Aluminum Flush Top Maximum walking surface, cosmetic appeal, economy of shop fabrication and ease of field alteration make the Aluminum Flush Top series the premier choice when pressure locked aluminum grating is being specified. This series offers a type of pressure locked grating in which the cross bars are in the same plane relative to the top surface of the grating. For those areas that receive a great deal of pedestrian traffic, our 1/4" opening 7-SGF-4 close space product is available which conforms with the provisions of the “Americans with Disabilities...

ALUMINUM DOVE TAIL ADT SERIES Traditionally designed, Aluminum Dove Tail slot pressure locked grating offers a smooth, clean line of a flush top rectangular cross bar. Bearing bars and cross bars are precision slotted, assembled in egg-crate fashion and hydraulically pressed together to form a tightly locked, rigidly stable panel grid. This grating is available in spacings, which provide a 1/4" or 1/2" opening in conformance with provisions for the “Americans with Disabilities Act” (July 1991). These products are part of our Grater Access line and are available with cross bars on 2" or 4" centers....
