Swage-locked Grating - Aluminum Permanent Structure

Swage-locked grating, also called aluminum grating, is mainly made of aluminum steel bars, and other materials can be stainless steel bars. The bearing bars can be rectangular bars or I bars. I bar swage-locked grating is the most widely used type. In the same depth, I bar swage-locked grating can supply the same strength with the rectangular bar swage-locked grating, but it is lighter and cheaper than the rectangular bars swage-locked grating.

The cross bars are inserted into pre-punched holes of bearing bars and then it is hydraulically swaged under tons of pressure to lock the bearing bars in place. In these processes, the swage-locked grating form a permanent locked structure.

The standard bearing bar spacing is 1-3/16\" or 15/16\". There a type of new products named as close mesh steel grating

Serrated surface swage-locked grating.

Features

• Economical. The aluminum material is much cheaper than the galvanized steel or stainless steel.
• Lightweight. The total weight of aluminum swage-locked grating is about 1/3 of galvanized welded steel grating.
• Corrosion resistance.
• High strength and rigidity.
• Serrated surface for better slip resistance.

Applications

• The swage-locked grating with smooth surface is widely used as the stair treads, walkways, platforms in the industrial and commercial applications.
• The swage-locked grating has firm and stable structure, it can be used as the security screen in the high class residences and commercial buildings.
• The swage-locked grating is widely used in the municipal engineering as trench covers, drainage covers or tree grate covers.
