B-Line MG62518FM 12 Eaton series Grate-Lock traction grip female to male interlock, 144" Grating length, 6" Grating width, Carbon steel, 2.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Traction grip, Female/Male, 18 gauge

Each plank has a female edge on one side and a male edge on the other, so planks snap together side by side to build out a wider platform or walkway without separate splice hardware between them. Order them all the same hand of interlock and they run continuously; the male edge of one seats into the female edge of the next.

Mill-galvanized carbon steel is a light zinc coating applied to the coil before forming, which suits dry indoor and sheltered industrial use. Cut edges on a mill-galvanized plank are left bare steel, so for continuous outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or corrosive process environments, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead of this finish.

That is exactly what it is for. The traction grip surface is intended to give safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required, so it suits catwalks, equipment platforms, and maintenance walkways in plants and mechanical spaces.

Order it as Eaton B-Line MG62518FM 12. The code breaks down the way the spec reads: MG for mill-galvanized, 6 for the 6 inch width, 25 for the 2.5 inch channel, 18 for 18 gauge, FM for the female/male interlock, and 12 for the 12 foot length.

What ships is the 144 inch formed carbon steel plank itself. Supports, clips, and any framing to carry it are separate, so size your channel or angle framing to the span you need and order the attachment hardware alongside the planks.

Yes, the 18 gauge carbon steel plank cuts in the field with a metal-cutting saw. Because the finish is mill-galvanized, the cut end is exposed steel, so brush on a cold galvanizing compound or zinc-rich primer at every cut if the plank sits anywhere damp.
