B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut ten diamond plank, 144" Grating length, 24" Grating width, Steel, 2" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, Grip Strut, 14 gaug

The Grip Strut ten diamond plank measures 144 inches long by 24 inches wide, with a 2 inch channel depth. It is formed from 14 gauge steel with a mill-galvanized finish. That 12 foot length by 2 foot width makes it a full walkway plank rather than a tread or stair pan.

The B-Line Grip Strut ten diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant, and the surface is intended for safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. The diamond openings are punched and formed so the raised edges bite through mud, ice, oil and grease underfoot.

The plank has a 2 inch channel size, and the overall product height is also 2 inches, so the formed side channels are what the plank rests and bolts on. Plan your support spacing so the bearing points land under those 2 inch channels rather than under the open diamond field.

Mill-galvanized steel is the standard finish here, which gives corrosion protection for general outdoor and industrial use. The cut ends and punched diamonds are raw steel after forming, so in constantly wet, salt or chemical wash-down service you would normally specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless plank instead.

Ten diamond refers to the number of diamond rows across the width, which here works out to a 24 inch wide walking surface on a 144 inch length. That is a platform, catwalk or mezzanine plank. A stair tread is a much narrower piece cut to the run of a single step, so if you are covering stairs rather than a walkway you want a tread, not this plank.

Yes, the plank is 14 gauge steel and can be field cut to suit a shorter run out of the 144 inch length. Cutting exposes bare steel at the new edge, so touch it up with a cold galvanizing compound if the walkway sees weather.
