Serrated Grating
- Grating is available with serrated bearing bars when specified.
- Wherever unusually slippery conditions prevail, such as oil or grease spills or icing conditions, serrated grating is recommended.
- All rectangular-bar grating is available with tops of bearing bars serrated when so ordered.
- Pressure-lock grating is normally supplied with serrated bearing bars; cross bars are not serrated.
- Standard serrations are punched into bars before fabrication. Forming cutouts approximately 1/8″ deep on 1/2″ centers. Protruding lands offer a sure grip for most footwear.
