B-LINE 31514 12 GL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Grip Strut plank OSHA compliant for elevated walking surfaces?
The Grip Strut three diamond plank is listed as OSHA compliant. The diamond openings give a non-slip walking surface, which is what it is made for: safe, sturdy footing where non-slip is required. That covers mechanical platforms, catwalks, stair treads and access ways around equipment.
2) Will mill-galvanized Grip Strut hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The finish here is mill-galvanized steel, which is a pre-galvanized coating applied to the sheet before forming. It handles normal indoor industrial and covered outdoor exposure. For constant wet, coastal or chemical wash-down service, specify a hot-dip galvanized after fabrication or stainless version of the plank instead, since the cut edges on mill-galvanized stock are bare steel.
3) What gauge steel is B-Line Grip Strut plank and does it matter for span?
It is formed from 14 gauge steel with a 1.5 inch channel. Gauge and channel depth together set the load and span rating, so if your platform drawing calls out a specific support spacing, match both numbers on the plan, not just the width. The 1.5 inch channel is the shallower of the common plank depths and is the usual pick for shorter spans between stringers.
4) Does Grip Strut plank come with clips or fasteners to attach it to the supports?
No fasteners are included. The plank ships as the formed steel walking surface only, so add hold-down clips, saddle clips or bolts sized for your support steel as a separate line. Plan that into the takeoff before the crew is on site.
5) Is three diamond plank the right choice, or should I use bar grating?
Three diamond Grip Strut is a formed, perforated steel plank meant for foot traffic where slip resistance is the priority, and it is lighter to handle and set than bar grating. Choose bar grating instead when you need heavy rolling loads or a specific open area for airflow. For access platforms, catwalks and equipment maintenance walkways, the diamond plank is the usual pick.
6) Can Grip Strut plank be cut to length in the field?
Yes, the 14 gauge steel plank cuts down on site for short runs and around penetrations. Keep in mind the mill-galvanized coating is applied before forming, so cut ends are exposed steel and should be touched up with a cold galvanizing compound if the area sees moisture.
