B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut five diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 11.75" Grating width, Steel, 3" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 10

Each plank runs 120 inches long by 11.75 inches wide, with a 3 inch channel height. So one piece covers a 10 foot run just under a foot wide. For a wider catwalk, lay planks side by side and count on 11.75 inches of tread width per plank.

The five diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is built for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The diamond openings are punched and formed so the raised edges bite through mud, ice and oil rather than sitting flat like plate.

The plank is steel with a mill-galvanized finish, meaning the zinc coating is applied to the coil before forming. That suits covered outdoor platforms and general industrial areas. Cut and punched edges are bare steel, so in constant wash-down, coastal, or chemical service specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead.

A single 10 foot plank weighs 15.4 lb, so one worker can carry it and two can set and fasten it without a lift. That low weight is the reason plank is often chosen over bar grating for mezzanine, platform and ladder-landing retrofits where the supporting steel is already in place.

This plank is formed from 10 gauge steel, the heavier end of the Grip Strut range, with 3 inch deep channel sides that act as the load-carrying members. The deeper channel and heavier gauge mean longer clear spans between supports than a shallower or lighter gauge plank. Set your support spacing from the load table for your live load; the plank itself is the stiffest common configuration.

The diamond count tells you how many rows of punched diamond treads run across the width. Five diamond gives the 11.75 inch walking width here, so it is the choice for main walkways, mezzanine decking and platforms. Narrower two and three diamond planks are used for stair treads, ladder rungs and catwalk edges where you need less width. All use the same formed non-slip diamond surface.

The item is the plank alone, model 53010 10 GL, 120 inches of 10 gauge mill-galvanized steel. Hold-down clips, saddle clips, bolts or weld-on attachment are ordered separately, so add your fastening method to the same order rather than assuming it ships in the bundle.

Yes. Steel plank is routinely cut on site with a band saw or abrasive wheel to fit between beams, and a 120 inch piece gives you room to trim. Because this one is mill-galvanized, touch up any cut end with a cold galvanizing compound to protect the exposed steel.
