Swage-Locked Grating – Lightweight & High Load Capacity

Swage-locked grating, also called aluminum grating, is made of aluminum plates and cross bars. It is manufactured by inserting cross bars into pre-punched holes in the bearing bar. The cross bars are then swaged forming a positive mechanical connection.

Compared with other steel bar grating, it is lighter in weight without compromising to the load capacity and mechanical strength.

It can be supplied in different bearing bar types and surface types for your different applications and requirements.
