Forge Welded Grating type WP

OG Forge Welded Gratings are fully resistance welded, by creating heat at the metal intersection points of square or roundcross bars and the solid bearing bars and then applying pressure to form the electro-forged joints.

Stability

The resistance welding process produces gratings of high stability, maximum strength and optimal load distribution

Dimensions

In addition to the stock dimensions, the grids can be made to measure with a maximum mm. bearing bar length of approx. 2500mm and a filler bar length of approx. 2000mm. 4 and 5mm bearing bar height 20 to 70.

Border

O.G. Press gratings with a bearing bar thickness of 2 and 3mm are manufactured with a T-Profile or flat steel frame. OG Heavy Duty Press gratings with a bearing bar thickness of 4 and 5 mm with a frame of flat steel. Special edging can be used, such as flat steel, angle steel or tube profile.

Types

- Type WP (Plain)

- Type WPA (Serrated)

- Type WPA - Offshore (Serrated 15mm ballproof)

- Type Safegrate

Type Safegrate

Safegrate has 9mm 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.

Safegrate is used where vehicles are likely to pass over the grating such as:
- Vehicle wash areas
- Loading bays
- Boat landings
- Offshore oil rigs where trolleys can be pulled across the grating
- Data centres
