Riveted Grating Has High Load Capacity and Anti-Slip Surface

Riveted grating is one of the steel grating products available with high load capacity, flexibility, alkali and acid resistance and anti-slip surface. It uses high-strength rivets to fuse the reticulated and bearing bars together and forms a solid joint. It can be constructed of carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Additionally, it is available in both smooth and serrated surfaces. Riveted grating can be widely used as stair treads, walkways, floors, covers and bridge decking.

This is riveted grating with smooth surface.

Specifications:

Material: carbon steel, 6000 series aluminum, and 300 series stainless steels
Category: It can be divided into light duty and heavy duty riveted gratings by load bearing capacity.
Surface treatment: galvanized, painted or mill finished.
Surface type: smooth surface or serrated surface.
RG-4: Smooth surface
- It is ideal in applications using rolling stock and wheeled equipment, especially with casters, since the reticulated bars provide a smoother surface. It is also ideally suited for walkways because of its added walking comfort.
RG-5: Serrated surface
- Standard serrated. It is generally to serrate the crimped cross member to provide a superior slip-resistant surface.
- 100% serrated. It is to serrated both the bearing bars and cross members when higher walking security is required.
Standard: conform to ANSI/NAAMM STANDARD MBG 531.
Spacing Available: These products are manufactured with bearing bars spaced either 1-1/8" or 3/4" apart and the standard rivet spacing is 7" on center.Optional close rivet spacing of 3-1/2" on center is also available.
