B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut eight diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 18.75" Grating width, Aluminum, 2" Channel size, .100" Thick

Aluminum, 12 gauge, at a stated product weight of 2.79 lb. That is why crews pick the aluminum version for rooftop mechanical walkways and elevated access platforms, it goes up by hand without a lift and it won't rust out around HVAC condensate or washdown.

The eight diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The pierced, serrated diamond openings shed water, oil and debris instead of holding them, which is the reason it gets specified for stairs, catwalks and equipment platforms in industrial and institutional facilities.

Plan on 2 inches of depth. The plank's formed side channels are 2 inches high and the stated product height is 2 in, so the supporting steel, curb or frame has to accept a 2 inch deep section under the walking surface. If your framing only allows a shallower pocket, this 2 inch channel plank is the wrong profile for the opening.

Aluminum plank is the usual choice where moisture, chemicals or washdown would attack plain steel, and the open diamond pattern drains rather than ponding. Same part works for exterior mechanical platforms, water treatment walkways and food or healthcare service areas. Where a project calls for a heavier load rating in steel, that is a different plank series, not this aluminum one.

Yes. Aluminum 12 gauge plank cuts with standard metal-cutting saw blades, so a 120 inch piece can be trimmed to fit a shorter bay on site. Cut across the width and leave the 2 inch side channels bearing on your supports at each end, since those channels are the structural element, not the diamond field.
