B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut five diamond plank, 288" Grating length, 11.75" Grating width, Steel, 5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 10 gauge

Each plank runs 288 inches long (24 feet) by 11.75 inches wide, with a 5 inch channel height. So a single piece spans a 24 foot run just under a foot wide. For a wider catwalk, planks are set side by side to build out the walking surface width you need.

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. The five diamond serrated pattern is what provides the traction underfoot on catwalks, platforms, stair treads and elevated walkways.

The plank is 10 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish, which is the standard corrosion protection for covered outdoor and industrial interior use. Mill galvanizing coats the sheet before forming, so cut ends and punched edges are bare steel. For constant wet, coastal or chemical exposure, a hot-dip galvanized after fabrication or stainless plank is the better call.

It weighs 17.5 lb. That is light enough for two people to carry a full 24 foot length onto a platform by hand, and it keeps dead load low when you are adding walkway to an existing rack or mezzanine frame.

Grip Strut plank has a 5 inch deep formed channel on each side, so it acts as its own structural member and spans between supports without a subframe underneath. Flat tread plate needs continuous backing. The 5 inch channel also gives you a built-in edge you can bolt or weld down. Choose the deeper channel when support spacing is wide; a shallower channel is enough for short spans over close supports.

Yes. What ships is the plank itself, model 55010 24 GL, in 10 gauge steel. Hold-down clips, saddle clips, bolts and any support framing or stringers are separate items and should be added to the order so the run can be anchored at every support point.

Yes, the 10 gauge steel plank can be cut down from its 288 inch stock length on site with a metal-cutting saw. Field cuts expose bare steel on a mill-galvanized part, so cold galvanizing compound on the cut end is worth applying anywhere the walkway sees moisture.

Order B-Line part 55010 24 GL. That number covers the five diamond plank at 288 inch length, 11.75 inch width, 5 inch channel, 10 gauge steel, mill-galvanized. The GL suffix is the galvanized finish and 24 is the length in feet.
