Grating Input:

Types of Configurations
  • STANDARD - Typical foot traffic in maintenance, access, pedestrian applications.
  • CLOSE-MESH - Same usage as Standard, just stronger, if you need to hold to a certain depth.
  • ADA-COMPLIANT - As the name suggests, provides a max ½" gap per ADA requirements.
  • HEAVY-DUTY - Configured to support heavy loading, such as vehicular traffic, via thicker bar.
  • HD CLOSE-MESH - Similar to Heavy-Duty, just closer bars for greater strength should the bar depth be limited.
  • WIDE-GAP - In certain situations, such as filtering operations, a wider gap is desired. Gap is 1-⅞".
  • EXTRA-WIDE-GAP - Same as previous. Gap is 2-⅜".
