B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut five diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 11.75" Grating width, Steel, 5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 10 gauge

Each plank of the Eaton B-Line Grip Strut five diamond series runs 120 inches long and 11.75 inches wide, with a 5 inch channel size and a 5 inch overall height. The 5 inch channel is the turned-down leg on each side, so the walking surface sits 5 inches above whatever you land it on. For wider walkways, planks are laid side by side, so figure your walkway width in multiples of 11.75 inches.

The Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is made for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required. The five diamond pattern gives a serrated, self-cleaning tread surface, which is why it gets used on catwalks, mezzanine walkways, stair treads and equipment platforms in wet or oily areas.

This plank is steel with a mill-galvanized finish, meaning the zinc coating was applied to the coil before forming, so the sheared edges and punched openings are bare steel. That is fine for covered, dry or lightly exposed industrial interiors. For constant wet, wash-down, coastal or chemical exposure, specify a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless version instead.

This plank is formed from 10 gauge steel, the heavier end of the Grip Strut range. Heavier gauge buys you longer allowable spans between supports and more tolerance for rolling loads and traffic; lighter gauges are used where spans are short and loads are foot traffic only. If your supports are spread out or carts run over the walkway, the 10 gauge is the one to specify.

Ordering the 55010 10 GL P gets you the plank itself. Hold-down clips, saddle clips, bolts and any support steel are separate line items, so add fastening hardware to the order based on how you are anchoring to your beams or angle supports.

Yes. The 120 inch plank is routinely cut down on site with a saw or torch to suit a landing or platform opening. Cutting exposes bare steel at the new edge, since the mill-galvanized coating is applied before forming, so touch up the cut with a cold galvanizing compound if the area sees any moisture.

Order it as Eaton B-Line part number 55010 10 GL P. That designation covers the five diamond plank in steel, 120 inches long by 11.75 inches wide, 5 inch channel, 10 gauge, mill-galvanized.
