B-Line Eaton series Grate-Lock traction grip male to male interlock, 288" Grating length, 12" Grating width, Carbon steel, 2.5" Channel size, Galvaniz

One Grate-Lock traction grip panel runs 288 inches long by 12 inches wide with a 2.5 inch channel height, so a single piece covers a 24 foot run one foot wide. Weight is listed at 3.5 lb. Plan your layout in 12 inch increments across the width and cut or order to length for the run.

Male/Male means both long edges of the panel are formed with the male half of the interlock. It will not interlock with another male edge, so MG122518MM 24 is meant to sit between panels that present female edges, or at an edge condition where only one side interlocks. If you are running panel to panel across a wide platform, you need the mating female edges in the adjoining pieces for the joint to lock up.

Yes. The Grate-Lock panel is a traction grip surface intended to give safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, which is why it gets used on catwalks, platform decking and service walkways rather than plain sheet.

The panel is 18 gauge carbon steel with a mill-galvanized finish, so the zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance for damp and exterior-adjacent service. For continuously wet, chemical or coastal exposure, a stainless or heavier coated product is the safer specification, since mill-galvanized is a light protective coating rather than a hot-dip build.

The channel depth is 2.5 inches, and the listed product height matches at 2.5 in, so allow at least that much from your support steel to the finished walking surface. That depth also sets the support spacing you design to, since the formed channel is what carries the span.

Order Eaton B-Line MG122518MM 24. That designation covers the Grate-Lock traction grip panel at 12 inch width, 288 inch length, 18 gauge, male/male interlock, mill-galvanized.
