Swage Locked Steel walkway Grating
Type “SL” steel gratings are manufactured by inserting hollow tube cross bars into pre-punched holes in the bearing bars. The cross bars are then hydraulically compressed to form a positive mechanical connection. The cross bars are recessed below the top surface of the bearing bars providing a uniform and attractive architectural appearance.
Swaged grating is a heavy duty grating / open mesh flooring capable of withstanding vehicle loadings.
It has 6mm diameter round bar passing through the flooring at 100mm intervals and then spot welded on one side. This provides the grating with greater lateral restraint when subjected to breaking and acceleration motions of the vehicle.
