This is the most common type of steel grating used. Light-duty steel grating is anything with bearing bar thickness from 1/8” up to 1/4". Depth can vary some, although the most common is 1 1/4". We offer anything from 3/4" up to 3” on light-duty. We offer serrated and smooth surfaces as well. This is NOT made to handle vehicle traffic, or any extremely large concentrated loads. The most common uses are platforms, walkways, stair landings, and catwalks among others. See the details and chart below for specifications on our light-duty steel grating.

For serrated grating, the depth of grating required for a specific load is 1/4" greater than in the table. | |||||||||||||||||
Notes: The carrying capacity of a piece of grating subjected to a concentrated load over only a portion of its width is determined by the stiffness of both the bearing bars and the cross bars, and therefore differs with the type of grating used. To determine the carrying capacity of gratings subject to such loadings, the manufacturer's engineering department should be consulted. 1/4" is considered the maximum deflection consisent with pedestrian comfort, but can be exceeded for other loading conditions at the discretion of the engineer. | |||||||||||||||||

The values listed are for design selection only and are not intended to be "absolute" since actual load capacity will be affected slightly by variations which can beexpected due to material and manufacturing tolerances. | |||||||||||||||||
Conversion Factors:For gratings with other than 1-3/16" bearing bar spacing, or for different design stresses, proportionate conversion factors apply. Refer to the Metal Bar Grating Engineering Design Manual for the development of such factors. | |||||||||||||||||

There also needs to something that states the stock grating type, size, etc. As well as the stock panels width ( nominal ) and length.

The image on the left should show the spacing between the bearing bars ( 1 3/16" ) and the spacing between crossrods ( 2" and 4" ). The paragraph should have some text that will summerize the image as well as give material ( stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, etc. ). There also needs to something that states the stock grating type, size, etc. As well as the stock panels width ( nominal ) and length.
