Q1: What is perforated safety grating used for?
A: Perforated safety grating is mainly used for industrial walkways, stair treads, catwalks, platforms, and maintenance access flooring. Its anti-slip perforated surface provides safe footing even in wet, oily, or icy environments.
Q2: What materials are available for perforated safety gratings?
A: Common materials include carbon steel (usually hot-dip galvanized), stainless steel (304 or 316), and aluminum (6000-series). Each material is selected according to the corrosion level, weight requirement, and environment.
Q3: What are the advantages of perforated safety grating compared to diamond plate or expanded metal?
A: Perforated safety grating offers better slip resistance and drainage than diamond plate, and a smoother, more comfortable surface than expanded metal. It combines high strength with lightweight design.
Q4: Can perforated safety gratings be customized?
A: Yes. We can customize the hole shape, size, spacing, plank width, length, thickness, edge style, and surface finish based on your drawing or sample. One-piece orders and large-volume production are both supported.
Q5: How is perforated safety grating installed?
A: It can be installed using bolts, rivets, or welding. Pre-drilled mounting holes are available for quick installation. Proper support intervals should be maintained according to the span and load capacity.
Q6: What finishes are available for corrosion protection?
A: Common finishes include hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing (for aluminum), and plain surface for painting or temporary installation.
Q7: How do you ensure the quality of your perforated gratings?
A: Every product undergoes dimensional and surface inspection before shipment. We follow ISO manufacturing standards and can provide inspection reports or certificates upon request.
Q8: Do you export perforated safety gratings internationally?
A: Yes. As a factory located in Anping County, Hebei, China, we supply perforated safety gratings to customers worldwide with secure export packaging, labeling, and flexible shipping options.
