Wheels n’ Heels® is the first grating product which satisfies both
the vehicle loading requirements of AASHTO and the pedestrian comfort
requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Made from ¼” thick
ASTM A36 steel bar, this product will clear span up to 8’ under
H15 and H20 wheel loads and can be provided in piece sizes up to 3’ wide
by 20’ long. In addition, the close spacing of the bearing bars
offers a pedestrian friendly ¼” or ½” opening
which allows easy access to wheel chair and high heel traffic while
being bicycle friendly. Wheels n’ Heels® is available in carbon and
stainless steel. Slip resistant
surfaces and various fnishes are available upon request.
The new Wheels n’ Heels® Metro replaces what is currently known as Long Span Series II.
The new Metro has an even greater strength to weight ratio, and much improved aesthetic appeal,
since there are now no welds on the top surface. In addition, the filler bars and main bearing
bars are both the same thickness thus providing increased percent open area. Included in this
new line are types with spacing of ½” between the bars to meet ADA requirements as well as types
with spacing of ¼” between bars to accommodate High Heel pedestrian use.
The Wheels n’ Heels® InVent is the newest addition to the Wheels n’ Heels® family of grate products.
This product type offers the same high strength to weight ratio, excellent appearance and compliance
with AASHTO and ADA and High Heel requirements as the Metro type. The major difference with the
InVent style is that the main support bearing bars are hidden under the top surface bars and run
in the direction perpendicular to the top surface bars. This feature allows OGI to offer you the
most flexibility in product types to fit the grating supports of your project.
