B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut five diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 11.75" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Plain, Grip Strut, 10 gauge

Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut five diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required, which is what walkways, catwalks, and mechanical platforms call for.

Plain finish means bare steel with no protective coating applied. It is fine for dry interior mechanical rooms and covered platforms, but for outdoor, washdown, or corrosive areas you want a galvanized or coated version of the same plank instead, or you will need to prime and paint it yourself after cutting.

Each 144 inch plank weighs 14.4 pounds, so one person can carry and set a section without a lift. That also matters for dead load math when you are hanging a run of walkway off existing steel.

It is formed from 10 gauge steel, the heavier end of the Grip Strut range, paired with a 2 inch deep channel form. The channel depth is what carries the load between supports; the 10 gauge material is what resists denting and wear under regular boot traffic and tool carts.

Diamond count describes how many rows of the pierced, serrated diamond pattern run across the width, so it sets the walking width. The five diamond plank here gives 11.75 inches of surface in a single piece, which suits a full walkway or platform deck. Narrower two or three diamond sections are what you use for stair treads, ladder rungs, and single foot paths where you do not need a full plank width.

No. What ships is the plank itself, Eaton B-Line part 52010 12 BL. Hold-down clips, saddle washers, bolts, or welding to the supporting steel are handled separately, so order the attachment hardware for your support type along with the planks.

Yes, the 144 inch steel plank is routinely cut down on site with a metal-cutting saw to suit the support spacing. Because the finish is plain uncoated steel, touch up the cut ends if the platform sees any moisture.
