B-LINE 52016 12 SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for elevated walkways and platforms?
Yes, the five diamond Grip Strut plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the serrated diamond openings give non-slip footing in oil, water, or ice conditions. It's the standard choice where a slip-resistant walking surface is required.
2) Will the stainless version of Grip Strut hold up in a wash-down or coastal environment?
This plank is type 304 stainless steel, which is the grade specified for food processing wash-down areas, chemical plants, and marine or coastal exposure where plain galvanized steel would rust out. If you're dealing with chlorides or aggressive acids, 304 is not the answer and you should specify a higher alloy.
3) What is the part number for the 12 foot stainless Grip Strut plank?
Order it as Eaton B-Line 52016 12 SS. The 12 in the number is the 12 foot length and SS designates the type 304 stainless material.
4) Should I use Grip Strut plank or bar grating for a maintenance catwalk?
Grip Strut plank is a formed steel channel section, 2 inches deep here, with serrated diamond openings punched through the walking surface, so the slip resistance is built into the metal rather than relying on a coating. It spans between supports as a channel and is cut and drilled in the field. Bar grating gives more open area and higher load capacity for heavy equipment traffic. For foot traffic on catwalks, platforms, and stair treads around equipment, the formed plank is the usual pick.
5) What gauge is the Grip Strut five diamond plank made from?
It's formed from 16 gauge steel in a stainless 304 finish. The five diamond pattern means five rows of serrated diamond openings across the 11.75 inch width, which spreads load and keeps footing in the middle of the plank rather than only at the edges.
