Welded Steel Grating for Walkways and Industrial Flooring

Welded steel grating is manufactured using an automated process combining hydraulic pressure with a powerful electric welding current which electro-forges the bearing bars and the cross bars to form a single rigid panel. Welded Steel Bar Grating is the most popular of all grating types due to its strength, cost-efficient production and ease of installation. Universally used in most general industrial plants as well as commercial buildings, it has wide applications as walkways, platforms, safety barriers, drainage covers and ventilation grates.

When selecting a bar grating product, consider Welded Steel Grating first. Usually our most economical products, they provide a comfortable walking surface with nearly 80 percent open area. This, combined with the positive welded cross bar/bearing bar intersection, make these products our most popular. Manufactured from carbon steel, welded gratings are recommended for nearly all industrial flooring applications.
