Heavy Duty Fiberglass Grating

Link to Shengfei

Heavy Duty Grating is used to covers areas with heavy traffic. We offer both Pultruded  Heavy Duty (HD) Grating and High Load Capacity (HLC) Molded Grating.

Our High Load Capacity (HLC) molded grating is heavy duty, corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance. It&#;s engineered to carry heavy traffic liketrucks and forklifts. Our molded HLC FRP Grating is available in 4&#; x 6&#; panels  1.5&#; or 2&#; deep in Polyester or Vinyl ester resin systems. HLC grating  has many advantages over steel grating for performance and cost effectiveness. With a much higher strength-to-weight ratio, molded HLC fiberglass grating is easy to handle, making for quick installation.

In stock at a distribution center close to you. National Grating distribution centers stock grating that satisfies general industrial needs all the way up to high load requirements like forklift traffic.
