Fabricated aluminum plank grating from IKG® is the perfect solution for applications where a low cost, easy to install, lightweight yet strong product is required. High quality extruded aluminum plank sections are available in sizes and styles to meet every application. Our engineers help determine the best fit for your application and ensure it is fabricated properly at every stage of the manufacturing process. The plank can also be cut at the job site if needed.  

The strength of aluminum plank comes from the bearing bars. I-beam sections form the integral part of the extrusion, so punch outs do not weaken the aluminum plank. The cut-out portions of the surface allows the passage of light, heat and air, but does not reduce the load-bearing capacity of the flooring. The integral I-beam vertical supports provide an excellent strength to weight ration. 

All IKG aluminum plank features a flush surface for added comfort and safety. Both rectangular, square and circular patterns are available with horizontal or bi-directional ridges to reduce the chance of slipping. The aluminum material means the plank is non-magnetic, non-sparking and corrosion resistant in most environments.  

Applications 

Fabricated aluminum plank grating is available from IKG in punched and un–punched configurations. Un–punched grating is best when a lightweight, solid floor is required. Punched grating provides the added benefits of allowing passage of air and light. Its architectural appearance and low-maintenance makes it ideal for many applications. 

Water and wastewater treatment plants  

The odor control and corrosion resistance make IKG aluminum plank ideal for wastewater treatment plants, especially in the clarifier areas of the plant where the scrubbers are located.  

Transportation 

The high strength ration per pound make aluminum plank ideal for truck beds in both commercial and residential use. 

Walkways 

Fabricated aluminum plank grating provides a flush walking surface and high strength-to-weight ratio. The many surface types available in aluminum planking provide a comfortable, safe walking surface for pedestrian walkways in cities and municipalities.  

Industry 

Aluminum plank is ideal for large surface areas where machinery and equipment will be located. Some examples include factories, gas compression stations and distribution centers.
