B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut six diamond plank, 240" Grating length, 30" Grating width, Steel, 5" Channel size, Plain, Grip Strut, 10 gauge

The B-Line Grip Strut six diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-pierced surface is what does it: the raised, serrated openings give non-slip footing in oil, water, ice or mud. It is the standard choice for catwalks, platforms and crossovers where a smooth plate would be a slip hazard.

Plain finish means bare steel with no galvanizing or coating. That is fine indoors and in dry, sheltered areas, but for exterior decks, wash-down areas or anything corrosive you want a galvanized or stainless version instead, or you will need to field paint it. Material here is steel in 10 gauge.

Grip Strut plank is a one-piece formed steel section with diamond-pierced, serrated openings and integral 5 inch deep side channels, so it carries load on its own edges and sheds liquid while gripping the boot. Bar grating is an assembled bearing bar product with larger open areas. Choose the plank where non-slip footing is the driving requirement and you want a self-supporting walking section; choose bar grating where you need maximum open area for drainage or ventilation.

Yes, it is 10 gauge steel and is routinely cut on site to suit the opening. Cut edges on a plain finish plank are bare steel, so if the run is anywhere damp you should prime or paint the cut ends, since there is no galvanized coating to protect them.
