B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut eight diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 18.75" Grating width, Steel, 2.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 12 gauge

Yes. The eight diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the serrated diamond openings give the non-slip footing that platforms, catwalks and equipment access walkways call for. That is the reason it gets specified over plain plate in wet or oily areas.

The plank is 12 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish, which is zinc coating applied to the coil before forming. That suits covered outdoor, industrial and damp interior use. Cut and formed edges are bare steel, so in a constant wash-down, chemical or coastal environment, a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank is the better call.

Each 120 inch plank weighs 9.2 lb, so a single installer can carry and place one by hand. The weight comes from the 12 gauge steel being formed into a 2.5 inch deep channel rather than a solid slab, which is what keeps a ten foot piece this light.

Diamond count is how the width is described. Eight diamonds across gives the 18.75 inch width on this plank, wide enough to serve as a walking surface on its own or to be ganged into a full platform. Narrower two, four or five diamond channels are what you use for stair treads and single-file catwalk runs. Pick by the width you need to cover, not by strength alone.

Yes, the 12 gauge steel plank cuts with a metal-cutting saw or shear to suit a shorter run. Cutting exposes bare steel at the new end because the mill-galvanized coating is applied before forming, so touch the cut up with a cold galvanizing compound if the walkway sees any moisture.
