High-Performance FRP Grating for Demanding Construction Sites
Traditional steel grating rusts, conducts electricity, and is heavy to install. Wellco Wholesale offers Molded Fiberglass (FRP) Grating designed specifically for the harsh conditions of the construction industry.
Our grating provides the ultimate solution for safe footing in wet, oily, or corrosive environments. Key benefits for construction projects include:
- Corrosion Resistance: Will not rot or rust, perfect for outdoor and chemical exposure.
- Safety First: Non-conductive properties prevent electrical hazards on job sites.
- Easy Installation: Lightweight material cuts easily and requires no heavy lifting equipment.
Load Capacity Table (1.0" Thick / 1.5" Mesh)
The guide below helps you determine the safe span for your project. For most industrial walkways, a deflection of less than 0.25" is recommended for comfort and safety.
| Span (Distance between supports) |
Concentrated Load (e.g., Foot Traffic) |
Uniform Load (e.g., Equipment) |
Deflection (at Max Load) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12" (305mm) | 1,245 lbs | 1,790 psf | < 0.1" |
| 18" (457mm) | 815 lbs | 795 psf | < 0.18" |
| 24" (610mm) | 540 lbs | 345 psf | < 0.25" |
| 30" (762mm) | 395 lbs | 190 psf | < 0.32" |
| 36" (914mm) | 280 lbs | 125 psf | < 0.45" |
* Note: Data based on standard 1.0" thick molded grating. Load capacities incorporate a safety factor. Values represent safe working loads for reference only.
