B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut ten diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 24" Grating width, Steel, 4.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 12 ga

Yes, the Grip Strut 10-diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the diamond-shaped punched openings give the non-slip footing that requirement is about. That is the rating on record for it; no fire or load rating is part of that listing.

Mill-galvanized steel is the standard coating here, applied to the coil before forming, so the cut edges and punched diamonds are bare steel. It is fine for dry interior plant work and general covered industrial use. For constant weather exposure, chemical wash-down, or coastal air, specify a hot-dip galvanized-after-fabrication or stainless plank instead.

A Grip Strut plank is one piece of formed steel, 12 gauge here, with diamond openings punched and the edges turned down into 4.5 inch channels that act as the support beam. Bar grating is welded bars and usually needs a separate frame. The plank self-supports between two bearing points, drains and sheds debris through the diamonds, and the raised diamond edges are the traction surface. Use bar grating where you need heavier rolling loads or a smoother, closer-mesh surface.

No hardware is part of the plank itself. The 104512F 10 GL ships as the formed 12 gauge steel plank only, so you order hold-down clips, saddle clips, or bolts separately to fasten the 4.5 inch channel rails to your supports.

Yes, the plank is 12 gauge formed steel and cuts with a metal blade or chop saw to suit the run. Because the coating is mill-galvanized rather than applied after fabrication, touch up every cut end with a zinc-rich primer or cold galvanizing compound to keep the exposed steel from rusting.
