Welded bar type grating is constructed by weldforging where the cross bar is welded into the bearing bar so that the cross bar is flush with the bearing bar. The bearing bars run parallel to the length or span of a standard grating panel and are responsible for the product's load bearing capabilities. The cross bars, which run parallel to the width of the span, are primarily responsible for holding the bearing bars together. However, they also play a factor in deflection characteristics, especially for concentrated loads which are not distributed across the span of the grating. Welded bar grating is available with the following surfaces:
Smooth or standard surface
Serrated: serrations are cut into the grating's bearing bars surface
Mebac: grit is bonded to the grating surface. Mebac surfaces provide slip resistance and are available by special order.

Materials: plain steel, carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum

Benefits:
* Available in range of widths, lengths and finishes
* Custom manufactured to suit your exact application
* Durable structure
* High strength-to-weight ratio
* Low maintenance surfaces
* Serrated (slip resistant)
* Economical design ideal for most industrial applications.

Applications:
Bar type grating is the workhorse of the industrial flooring market and has served industry for decades. Strong and durable with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, bar grating can be easily fabricated to nearly any configuration. The high percentage of open area makes bar grating nearly maintenance free and all products are fully recyclable. For example bar grating is widely used in the platform, corridor, bridge, well covers, stairs, fencing for petroleum, chemical, power plant, waste treatment plant, civil engineering projects and environmental projects.
