Sourcing gratings into Chicago — what buyers ask
Specification, finish, documentation and terms, answered by the works in Howrah rather than a trading desk.
Load class depends on expected foot traffic and any equipment or trolley loads crossing the platform; light pedestrian traffic needs far less than a mezzanine storing pallets or carrying rolling equipment. Share the intended use, span and any point loads, wheel loads or stored material weight, and we'll confirm bearing-bar size and pitch against IS 2713 or BS 4592 tables.
Yes. Panel clips, saddle or toe-board type, along with banding and fixing bolts, come matched to the panel finish so the whole system installs without you sourcing separate fasteners on site. Specify your support-beam spacing and type, I-beam, channel or angle, so the correct clip type gets included.
Standard electroforged panels run up to 1000×6000 mm, though most projects actually use smaller modular panels, say 1000×3000 mm, for easier handling and installation, then join them with couplers or banding on site. Large single panels cut down on joints but raise handling difficulty and freight footprint, so weigh that against your site's crane capacity.
The bearing-bar top surface is typically serrated with small saw-tooth notches during forming for slip resistance, standard on most industrial panels. A plain, non-serrated top surface is sometimes specified for architectural or decorative applications where slip resistance matters less. For wet, oily or outdoor platforms, always specify serrated.
Yes, checker-plate landings (3 mm, 5 mm or 6 mm) in HDG or self-colour are part of the same supply chain. We size them, drill, weld stiffeners, and ship as a finished platform unit ready to bolt to the stringer.
