B-Line Eaton series Grip Strut three diamond plank, 120" Grating length, 7" Grating width, Steel, 1.5" Channel size, Mill-galvanized, 12 gauge

It runs 120 inches long by 7 inches wide, with a 1.5 inch channel size and 1.5 inch overall height. That 10 foot length is the full plank as supplied, so spans get cut to suit on site. Steel, 12 gauge, weighing 4.1 lb.

Yes. The B-Line Grip Strut three diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant and is intended for safe, sturdy footing where a non-slip surface is required, which is what walkways, catwalks, and equipment platforms call for.

The finish here is mill-galvanized steel, which is a zinc coating applied to the coil before forming. It suits general industrial and covered outdoor use. Because the plank is cut and pierced after galvanizing, the sheared edges are bare steel, so in constant wet, coastal, or chemical wash-down service expect edge rusting and specify a hot-dip or stainless product instead.

No fasteners are included. The 31512 10 GL is supplied as the bare 12 gauge steel plank only, so order your hold-down clips, saddle washers, or self-drilling screws separately to suit the supporting steel.

Grip Strut is a one-piece formed steel plank, 12 gauge here with a 1.5 inch channel depth, with pierced diamond openings that grip from any direction and self-clean of mud, ice, and oil. Bar grating is a welded assembly of bearing bars, usually deeper, and carries heavier loads over longer spans. For maintenance access, catwalks, and stair treads where non-slip footing is the priority and the plank is light to handle at 4.1 lb, the formed plank is the simpler choice.

At 7 inches wide it is narrower than a typical finished tread, so stair applications normally use two planks side by side or a purpose-made tread. As a single 7 inch plank it works better as a walkway strip, crossover, or equipment platform decking, where the 1.5 inch channel gives the stiffness between supports.

Yes, the 120 inch steel plank is regularly cut on site with a bandsaw or abrasive chop saw. Cut ends expose bare steel through the mill-galvanized coating, so touch them up with a zinc-rich cold galvanizing compound if the walkway sees any moisture.
