B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut eight diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 36" Grating width, Steel, 4" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 10 ga

Yes. The Grip Strut eight diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the serrated diamond openings are what give it the slip resistant footing. It is intended for walkways, platforms, and stair treads where non-slip footing is required.

It is 10 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish. Mill galvanizing is applied to the coil before forming, so the sheared edges and punched diamonds are left bare steel. That is fine for covered or interior industrial areas, but in a wet or coastal exposure those cut edges will show rust first. For constant weather exposure, look at a hot-dip galvanized after fabrication or stainless plank instead.

Yes, the 10 gauge steel plank can be field cut to length with a metal-cutting saw. Keep in mind the mill-galvanized finish does not cover the cut, so touch the fresh edge up with a cold galvanizing compound if the area sees any moisture. Cutting also removes the formed channel end, so make sure the shortened piece still lands on supports.

Grip Strut plank shows up as decking for cable tray catwalks, transformer and switchgear platforms, rooftop mechanical walkways, and access platforms around process equipment. Anywhere crews walk on an elevated surface that gets wet, oily, or icy, the open serrated diamonds drain and self-clean instead of holding standing water. This is a 4 inch channel depth plank, so it is a structural walking surface rather than a thin cover plate.
