Steel Bar Grating Heavy-Duty
HEAVY-DUTY WELDED (W) 1-7/8" C/C Bearing Bars
U = safe uniform load, psf (page 92)
30-H-4 30-H-2 C = safe concentrated load, pfw (page 92)
D = deflection, inches
E = modulus of elasticity, 29,000,000 psi
F = fiber stress, 20,000 psi
Material: ASTM A-36
Serrated Bars: For serrated grating, the depth of grating required for a spec-
ified load is 1/4" deeper than that shown in the table.
General: Loads and deflections are theoretical and based on static loading.
Cross Rods 4" C/C Cross Rods 2" C/C Deflection: Spans and loads to the right of the bold line exceed 1/4" deflec-
tion for uniform load of 100 psf which provides safe pedestrian comfort.
These can be exceeded for other types of loads with engineer’s approval.
NON-SERRATED & SERRATED For deflections of uniform and concentrated loads, consult AMICO-Klemp®’s
engineering departments.

Note: AMICO-Klemp® recommends bearing bars to be placed parallel to
traffic.
Serrated Bars: Normally we serrate the reticuline bar and raise it slightly
above the top surface of the bearing bars. We can also serrate the bearing
bars. When bearing bars are serrated, the depth of grating required for a
specified load is 1/4" deeper than that shown in the table.

DIAMOND-GRIP®
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Diamond-Grip® is a one-piece metal plank grating manufactured by a cold
forming process in the shape of a channel. The web of the channel is the
walking surface and has rough serrated edges around diamond shaped open-
ings. Diamond openings are complete with radiused corners at the saddle and
side channel locations.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Grating shall be “Diamond-Grip® channel,” manufactured from (see ‘Selections’
below) and complete with a (1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3") side channel depth, by
AMICO-ISG®.
• SELECTIONS
• ASTM-A-653, G-90 (Z-275) Pre-galvanized 14 and 12 gauge steel.
• ASTM-A-1011, HRP&O 14 and 12 gauge steel.
• 5052-H32 Aluminum, .080" and .100" thick.
• Type 316L 2B Stainless Steel 14 gauge (up to 11-3/4" width).
• Type 304L 2B Stainless Steel 16 gauge (up to 11-3/4" width).
Note:
• Tolerances on all dimensions are ±1/8"
• Standard lengths are 121 1⁄2" & 144".
• Tolerance on manufactured and cut lengths is ±1/8".
• When cutting Diamond-Grip®, AMICO® recommends
cutting to full or half diamond increments. Contact
sales for actual dimensions.
• Camber is an expected condition with sheet metal products. While ASTM allowance is generous, AMICO attempts to lessen the
effects. Normal clearances should offset this phenomenon, however where tolerances warrant, contact AMICO for clarification.

Fiberglass Open Molded Grating
GatorGrate™
GatorGrate molded fiberglass grating is a one-piece, reinforced polyester or vinylester (FRP) grating,
available in standard panels and sizes. It is manufactured by interweaving continuous, thoroughly
wetted, fiberglass strand with thermosetting resin systems. Standard panels are available in three
resin systems, two top surface configurations, four panel sizes and five standard grid patterns.
Typical applications include floor systems, walkways, work platforms, stairs, ramps, trench covers
& catwalks. GatorGrate has been successfully used in many industries – including food processing,
beverage, chemical processing, water & wastewater treatment, metal finishing, pulp/paper,
transportation, pharmaceutical, textile, oil/gas & mining/smelting/refining.
“How To Write An Outstanding Grating Specification” is available. Just ask for it.

Fiberglass Open Molded Grating
GatorGrate™—Load & Deflection Data
The Load and Deflection Data provided in these tables are
intended as guides only, to help you determine the proper
grating size for your application. The use of different resin
systems and top surface options can produce variations up to
15% in these values. Because the product will be used in
environments and under operating conditions that are not
within our control, we cannot guarantee the performance of
the grating.
FRP products have low modulus of elasticity but high ten-
sile strength, therefore, loads are generally limited to the
allowable deflection determined by the end user. The follow-
ing data are based on tests utilizing panels supported on two
sides only. Additional stiffness can be achieved by using
CONCENTRATED LOAD, 12" WIDE STRIP UNIFORM LOAD cross supports (see Seasafe’s Tech Support Bulletin #1).

The Load and Deflection Data provided in these tables are intended for guidance only, to help you determine the proper grating for your application. The use of different resin systems and surfaces can
produce variations upt to 15% in these values. Because the product will be used in enviornments and under operating conditions that are not within our control, we cannot guarantee the performance of
the grating. FRP products have low modulus of elasticity but high tensile strength, therefore loads are genearlly liminted to the allowable deflection determined by the end user. The following data are
94 based on tests utilizing panels supported on two sides only. Additional stiffness can be achieved by using cross supports.
Steel Bar Grating
Fiberglass Gatorplace & Covered Molded Grating
GatorPlateTM floor plate is perfect for fixing slippery spots or in large
slippery areas. The anti-slip surface helps reduce slips & falls even
when hazardous liquids are present.
Seasafe grating available with Gator Plate attached to the top for a
smooth walking surface. Covered grating is used for odor control,
elevated walkways to insure that nothing drops thru the walkway
onto the surface below.
Type 316 stainless steel clips are available with or without nut, bolt or washer. Other metals
available upon request. For maximum safety, we recommend that all grating be fastened to
support structure. When ordering clips, please specify type of grating.

Fiberglass Pultruded Grating
GATOR-DECK®
Pultrusion is a continuous molding process in which
glass roving, glass matting, and a synthetic surface
veil are literally “pulled” simultaneously through a
flame-retardant polyester or vinylester resin bath.
Desired geometric shapes are formed and solidified as
they are pulled through a heated steel die. AMICO-
Seasafe’s Gator-Deck® pultruded grating provides the
ultimate combination of strength, corrosion resistance,
and structural integrity as a result of the automated
pultrusion process.
