B-Line Eaton series Grate-Lock traction grip male to male interlock, 288" Grating length, 6" Grating width, Carbon steel, 2.5" Channel size, Mill-galv

Each Grate-Lock plank runs 288 inches long by 6 inches wide, with a 2.5 inch channel height. That is a 24 foot length, so plan your cut layout and handling before it gets to the catwalk or platform, and figure 6 inch coverage per plank when you work out how many you need to span a walkway width.

Male/male means both long edges of the plank carry the male side of the interlock. Two male/male planks will not snap together directly, they need a female/female plank between them, so a run is built by alternating male/male and female/female pieces. Order MG62518MM 24 as part of that alternating sequence, not as the whole run.

The traction grip surface is made for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, which is why it shows up on maintenance catwalks, mezzanine walkways, and platform decking around equipment. The punched grip pattern also lets liquid and debris pass through the deck rather than pooling on it.

The plank is 18 gauge carbon steel with a mill-galvanized finish. Mill-galv gives basic corrosion resistance for damp and sheltered exterior conditions, but it is the bare economy finish, the cut ends are unprotected, and it is not a coastal or chemical-exposure spec. For washdown, marine, or corrosive duty, specify a stainless or heavier hot-dip galvanized grating instead.

Height is 2.5 inches, matching the 2.5 inch channel size, so the plank needs 2-1/2 inches of vertical depth between your support beams and any finished walking elevation. Check that against your header clearance and step-up height before setting the supports.

MG62518MM 24 is the grating plank itself. Support steel, hold-down clips, and fasteners are separate items, so add the attachment hardware suited to your framing when you order. The interlocking edges tie planks to each other, but they do not anchor the deck to the structure.

Yes. It is 18 gauge carbon steel, so a plank can be cut with standard metal-cutting tools on site to suit the opening. The interlock runs along the length, so cutting shortens the plank without disturbing how it joins to the adjacent piece. Touch up any cut edge, since mill-galv leaves it bare.

Order Eaton B-Line series part MG62518MM 24. That number covers the 6 inch wide, 288 inch long, 18 gauge carbon steel traction grip plank with the male/male interlock in mill-galvanized finish. Distributors matching a spec should note the MM in the number is the male/male edge designation.
