Customized Safety Grating with Circular Raised Holes & Serrated Holes – Anti-Slip Grating for Industrial and Public Use

Safety grating is a kind of special metal sheet made by CNC stamping technology, its surface convex serrated groove resembles crocodile teeth, so it is named.

With its excellent skid resistance, durability and versatility, this plate is widely used in -

• industrial platforms
• transportation facilities
• architectural decoration and other fields

This paper will analyze its characteristics from the material, process, core advantages and typical application scenarios.

1. Material and production process

Raw material selection

• Stainless steel: 316, 304 and other models of stainless steel plate corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical, Marine and other harsh environment 14.
  
  
• Galvanized sheet/iron plate: low cost, suitable for ordinary industrial scenarios, surface galvanized can extend the service life 38.
  
  
• Aluminum alloy plate: lightweight design, mostly used for vehicle pedals, interior decoration 17.
  
  
• Plate thickness: 1-6mm, of which 2-4mm is the common specification, heavy duty scenarios can be customized thickened to 6mm110.

Production technology

• CNC punching: The crocodile mouth hole is stamped on the plate through the mold, the hole length is usually 50mm, the hole width is 15mm, and the drum height is 10-15mm.
  
  
• Folding and welding: the edge of the pass is folded to form a raised structure, which enhances the load-bearing capacity; In some scenarios, you need to weld borders or stiffeners.
  
  
• Surface treatment: Optional hot-dip galvanizing, spraying or polishing process to improve rust resistance and beauty.
  

2. Core advantages

• High efficiency anti-slip performance - The zigzag pass design significantly increases the surface friction coefficient, which can effectively cope with wet environments such as oil, snow and ice.
  
  
• Self-cleaning function - The downward folding hole can automatically discharge water, sediment and other debris, reducing manual maintenance.
  
  
• High strength and light weight - 2mm thick stainless steel plate can bear up to 500kg/m², the weight is 30% lighter than the traditional pattern steel plate 410.
  
  
• Corrosion resistance and long life - 316 stainless steel has a service life of more than 15 years in salt spray environments.
  
  
• Customized design - Support non-standard size, special-shaped cutting and multi-hole combination (such as herringbone, cross pattern).

3. Typical application areas

Industrial scene

• Mechanical platform: chemical plant, power plant operation platform anti-skid protection.
  
• Sewage treatment: used as filter plate or trail, acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
  

Building and transportation

• Stair steps: Replace traditional cement steps to improve safety.
  
• Anti-skid pedal for vehicles: anti-skid design of boarding ladder for trains and trucks.

Public facilities

• Outdoor plank road: beach walk, oil workshop ground laying.
  
• Sound barrier structure: auxiliary anti-slip layer of highway sound insulation wall.

4. Purchase and installation suggestions

Material selection guide

316 stainless steel is preferred in humid environment, and galvanized sheet is optional in common scenes to reduce costs.

Installation mode

• Welding fixation: Suitable for permanent installations such as industrial platforms.
  
  
• Bolted connection: easy to disassemble and maintain, suitable for temporary construction sites.
  

Conclusion

Through innovative structural design and diversified material combination, safety grating has become a key material for industrial safety and building function upgrading.

It is both practical and economical, and can meet the needs of the whole scene from heavy machinery to fine decoration.

The selection of professional suppliers (such as Hebei Anping Senchi Enterprise) and customized adaptation solutions will significantly improve project safety and service life.
