Surface Types

You have the option of either a smooth surface or serrated surface for heavy duty grating. Serrated grating adds another level of anti-slip protection and is to be considered for environments that are in contact with liquids.

Products

Bearing bars are required to be pre-punched to receive either a round (Type HW) or rectangular (Type EC) cross bar.

Type HW: Welded construction with round cross bars welded at each joint. All heavy duty grating is welded. We do not recommend the use of any other type of grating when the application includes heavy rolling loads.

Type EC: Welded construction with rectangular cross bar welded at each joint.
