ALGRIP® Traction Safety

Ohio Gratings, Inc. Logo

Using a patented laser deposition process, we weld ALGRIP® traction features to metal grating or plate flooring to provide unparalleled slip resistance in wet or dry conditions.

With ALGRIP® traction surface treatment, users can enjoy increased traction that meets or exceeds OSHA and ADA requirements for traction safety in all directions. ALGRIP® works by adhering small metal traction features to the surface of base metal or grating. As a result, shoes or tires can encircle and grab these welded traction features for enhanced grip. Our clients commonly use ALGRIP® to increase the dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) in a variety of industries including food processing, pharmaceutical, mass transit, utilities, power plants, manufacturing and heavy construction.

Consolidated Edison

Electric Vault Gratings

New York City, NY

 

New York City’s Times Square is one of the busiest places on earth. And when Con-Edison needed a grating solution there was no shortage of challenges. We needed a grating product that gave line crews easy access to underground power lines while providing proper transformer ventilation and met AASHTO H20 requirements for truck loads and ADA requirements for pedestrians. Our team worked diligently to find a reliable solution that addressed each challenge ultimately delivering our Wheels n’ Heels® Metro® with ALGRIP® surface treatment as an exceptional long-term solution.
