B-Line 82510 10 GL Eaton series Grip Strut eight diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 18.75" Grating width, Steel, 2.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 10 gauge

Yes. The 82510 10 GL Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The eight diamond serrated openings drain water and shed debris, which is why it gets used on catwalks, mezzanine walkways, and equipment access platforms rather than a solid plate deck.

The 82510 10 GL is steel with a mill-galvanized finish, meaning the zinc coating is applied to the coil before forming. It handles normal outdoor exposure and damp industrial areas. Be aware that the sheared edges and any field cuts expose bare steel, so for continuously wet, coastal, or chemical wash-down service you would normally specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead.

The 82510 10 GL is formed from 10 gauge steel, which is the heavier end of the range Grip Strut plank is made in (12 and 14 gauge are the lighter options). Heavier gauge means more span capability between supports and more resistance to denting under wheeled carts or dropped tools. If you are specifying for regular foot traffic plus equipment rolling across it, 10 gauge is the one to ask for.

Yes, the 10 gauge steel plank cuts with a bandsaw or abrasive chop saw. The one thing to handle is the finish: the mill-galvanized coating stops at the cut, so touch cut ends with a cold galvanizing compound if the deck sees moisture. Keep at least one full diamond pattern past your last support bearing point so the cut edge is fully carried.
