Order Information

The swaging process allows the assembly of bar grating panels by mechanically locking the cross bars at right angles to the bearing bars at a maximum of 4” on center. This process provides the clean crisp lines of a recessed cross bar and eliminates the discoloration inherent with welded bar grating. As with swaged carbon, this product is manufactured free of the warping, twisting and burn marks, which are characteristic of electro forge welded stainless steel grating. Additionally, the heat generated as part of that process, limits how close together the bars may be placed. By using the most modern technology available, swaged bar grating allows for a variety of spacings including close spacings of 7/16” cc between bearing bars which have been approved by the American with Disabilities Act.

Stainless steel grating has been the standard industrial flooring product for severe corrosive environments and has been a popular grating choice for many years.
