standard 4 cross rod spacing but 2 cross rod spacing
is available.
Close Mesh
Advantages of the close mesh grating style include close mesh wide mesh
greatly increased load bearing capabilities and prevention
of fall through by dangerous objects such as heavy tools
or equipment accidentally dropped from above.
Wide Mesh
bar grating
Wide mesh grating options are designed for applications
requiring additional openness of bar grating to minimize
buildup of snow, ice, or other debris.

RailROAD Grating
Tru-Weld Steel Railroad Grating is special wide mesh Type 26-4
(Type 41-102 Metric) with bearing bars supplied serrated for
additional safety. It was originally designed specifically for
use as brake steps, running boards, walkways, and platforms
on railcars and locomotives. Railroad Grating is supplied as
standard AAR (Association of American Railroads) approved
welded bar grating with bar spacing at 1 5/8 centers and
cross rods at 4 centers.
Heavy Duty
Tru-Weld Heavy Duty Steel Bar Grating is commonly used for
floor trench and sump covers exposed to heavy equipment
traffic. It is used extensively throughout mining, power
generation, highways, airfields, and on truck terminal loading
docks and ramps. It is suitable for large single span conditions
or where grating must support extreme loads.

U = Safe Uniform Load (kPa)
C = Safe Concentrated Load (kN/metre of grating width)
D = Deflection (mm)
Loads and deflections given in this table are theoretical and are based on a maximum allowable fibre stress of 82.82 MPa.
All metric dimensions are based on a soft conversion. For Fisholow I-bar loading, use the equivalent depth 4.8mm bar size values in this load table.

bolt head rests directly on the bearing bars eliminating the
flange of the supporting member. Designed for use with
need for a top saddle clip.

3/16 bar sizes). Available by special order in bare steel, galvanized, and
stainless steel.
Available in standard galvanized or bare steel and stainless
steel options.
Mid Span Support Clips are used to adjoin either Shur Grip
