B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut eight diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 18.75" Grating width, Steel, 3" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 10

The Eaton B-Line Grip Strut plank, model 83010 10 GL, runs 120 inches long and 18.75 inches wide, with a 3 inch channel height. So one plank covers a 10 foot span at just over 18-3/4 inches of walking width. For a wider platform or catwalk, planks are set side by side to build out the width you need.

Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut eight diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond openings give the non-slip footing OSHA looks for on elevated walkways, stair treads and work platforms. That is the reason it gets specified on catwalks and mechanical platforms over plain plate.

Plan on 3 inches. The channel legs stand 3 inches tall, so the walking surface sits 3 inches above the top of your supporting steel. Take that off your finished floor elevation when you set beam heights, or your handrail and door clearances come up short.

Mill-galvanized steel is the finish here, which is a zinc coating applied to the coil before forming. It handles normal outdoor exposure and damp industrial interiors. Cut ends and punched diamonds are raw steel after forming, so in a heavy washdown, coastal or chemical environment, spec a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead.

10 gauge is the steel thickness of the plank material, and it is the heavier end of the Grip Strut range. Heavier gauge means more load carried between supports, which is what you want on maintenance walkways and equipment platforms with regular foot traffic and tool carts. Lighter gauges are used where spans are short or traffic is occasional.

Eight diamond refers to the number of diamond rows across the walking surface, which is what sets the 18.75 inch width. It is the plank version, meant to be laid as a finished walking surface across supports. Narrower two or four diamond channels are used for single stair treads, ladder rungs and crossovers where you only need a foot-wide tread rather than a full platform.

Yes, the 10 gauge steel plank cuts with a bandsaw or abrasive chop saw to fit a shorter run than the 120 inch stock length. Because the mill-galvanized coating is applied before forming, any cut edge is bare steel, so hit it with a cold galvanizing compound if the walkway sees moisture.
