B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut four diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 9.5" Grating width, Aluminum, 1.5" Channel size, Grip Strut, .100" Thick

Yes. The Grip Strut four diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond openings give the non-slip footing that walkways, platforms and stair treads need where slip resistance is required.

This plank is aluminum rather than steel, so it won't rust where moisture, wash-down or salt air is a problem, and it's a lot lighter to carry up a ladder. If your application is heavy industrial traffic or hot work areas, look at a galvanized or stainless Grip Strut instead; aluminum is the corrosion and weight choice.

It's formed from 12 gauge aluminum, roughly .100 inch thick as called out in the product name. That's the heavier end of the plank range and is what carries the load between supports on a walkway or stair tread.

It's a one-piece formed plank with four rows of diamond-shaped, pierced and serrated openings across its 9.5 inch width, used as walkway, platform, mezzanine and stair tread surface where safe non-slip footing is required. The 1.5 inch turned-down channel on each edge acts as the structural rib, so the plank spans between supports without a separate frame under it.

Order Eaton B-Line model 41510 12 AL. The number breaks down as the four diamond 9.5 inch plank, 12 foot length, aluminum material, in 12 gauge.

Yes, in most cases. The aluminum construction keeps it light enough for one-man handling at 144 inches, which is the main reason crews spec aluminum over steel on elevated retrofits. The plank is 9.5 inches wide, so it balances easily on a shoulder.

The plank itself is the walking surface only. You supply the supporting steel or framing and the fasteners or hold-down clips to secure it. Plan your support spacing first, then cut or order the 144 inch planks to suit.
