Description:Expanded steel grating is produced from carbon steel, aluminum or stainless steel plate. It mainly has two types: light type and heavy type. Each sheet is produced from low carbon steel plates up to 5/16" thick. The junctions of the strand and bond form a ridged surface for improved tractions. Grating is formed like a truss so that every inter-connecting strand acts as a structural member distributing the load stress in several directions across the supporting frame. The angular position of the strand and the bond makes the expanded metal grating stronger in deflection than steel plate material in original form. Typical applications include long length or catwalk grating - usually in 10 ft. lengths by 2 or 3 ft. widths. It is also ideal for flooring, platforms and stair treads, where principal use is for light storage and foot traffic.
