standard mesh bar grating
bar grating anatomy

Tru-Weld Bar Grating
Tru-Weld bar grating is forge-welded, a system in which What does Type 19-4 Mean?
Fisher & Ludlow was a pioneer. In this process the bearing
bars and cross rods are permanently forged together by heat
and pressure into a single unit construction, resulting in greater
strength per pound than mechanical assembly methods.
Standard Mesh
The twisted cross rods provide a non-slip walking surface.
For applications where extremely slippery conditions prevail,

Serrated Tru-Weld offers a superior grip surface to the load
bearing bars.
Bar grating
Bar grating types are specified by bearing bar spacing

followed by cross rod spacing.
In imperial measurements, bearing bar spacing is described

in sixteenths of an inch. Therefore, Type 19 has bearing bar
centers at 19/16 of an inch (or 1 3/16). Type 15 has bearing
plain surface bar centers at 15/16. Type 11 is at 11/16 etc. The second
number after the dash in the Type designation refers to
the cross rod spacing. Cross rods are available in either 4
(standard) or 2 (special) spacings.
All bar grating Types may also be described in metric units.

Again, the first number represents the bearing bar spacing
on centers and the second number represents the cross
rod spacing, both units measured in millimeters. Therefore,
Type 30-102 Metric equals bearing bars at 30mm centers
and cross rods at 102mm centers. This is the metric equivalent
of Type 19-4.
Note: Although the special 2 (50mm) cross rod spacing does

allow for less open space on the grating surface, it does not
affect the load rating of the grating. The most economical
and readily available choice for bar grating selection is
serrated surface Type 19-4 (Type 30-102 Metric).

Steel Bar Grating

Tru-Weld steel bar grating is the most popular product
manufactured by Fisher & Ludlow. Nearly all sizes in Standard
Mesh Type 19-4 (Type 30-102 metric) are readily available in
our warehouses or stocked on the shelves of our distributors.
Simplicity in design is surpassed by its versatility in usage.
Standard Mesh
From mezzanines, platforms, catwalks, and stairs to fences,
benches, racking shelves, and ventilation covers, Tru-Weld
Steel Bar Grating is by no means limited to the industrial
applications for which it was originally designed.
Available in bare steel, shop primed, or hot dip galvanized.

stainless steel bar grating
stainless steel information

tru-weld Stainless Steel Bar Grating
Tru-Weld Stainless Steel Bar Grating provides a long-term
durable grating solution for caustic atmospheres where
corrosion resistance and minimum carbide precipitation
are important considerations. Typical applications include
stairs and platforms within chemical production and storage,
food processing plants, and water and wastewater treatment
Stainless Steel
facilities. Your choice of 304, 304L, 316, or 316L Stainless

Steel grades are available.
Heat from the Electroforge welding process discolors the

surface of the stainless steel in the weld area. For this reason,
Tru-Weld Stainless Steel Bar Grating is best suited for
industrial uses where cosmetic appearance is not a factor.

special mesh bar grating
special mesh information

tru-weld Special Mesh Bar Grating
Tru-Weld Special Mesh Bar Grating offer a variety of close
or wide space mesh options to suit specific aesthetic or
functional bar spacing requirements.
As with Tru-Weld Standard Mesh Bar Grating, Special Mesh

Bar Grating may be ordered with either plain or serrated
bearing bars. Similarly, panels are manufactured with a
Special Mesh
standard 4 cross rod spacing but 2 cross rod spacing
is available.
Close Mesh
Advantages of the close mesh grating style include close mesh wide mesh
greatly increased load bearing capabilities and prevention
of fall through by dangerous objects such as heavy tools
or equipment accidentally dropped from above.
Wide Mesh
bar grating
Wide mesh grating options are designed for applications
requiring additional openness of bar grating to minimize
buildup of snow, ice, or other debris.
Available in most 1/8 and 3/16 Steel and Stainless Steel

bar sizes and select Heavy Duty bar sizes.
*Special Mesh Bar Grating is a non-stocked specialty item.

For the most cost effective and readily available bar grating
option, choose Standard Mesh Type 19-4 (Type 30-102 Metric).

RailROAD Grating
Tru-Weld Steel Railroad Grating is special wide mesh Type 26-4
(Type 41-102 Metric) with bearing bars supplied serrated for
additional safety. It was originally designed specifically for
use as brake steps, running boards, walkways, and platforms
on railcars and locomotives. Railroad Grating is supplied as
standard AAR (Association of American Railroads) approved
welded bar grating with bar spacing at 1 5/8 centers and
cross rods at 4 centers.

heavy duty information

Heavy-Duty Steel Bar Grating
Steel Bar Grating with bearing bars thicker than 3/16 is
considered to be Heavy Duty and carries the designation
prefix Type HD. Available bar thicknesses are 1/4, 5/16,
and 3/8 in either a plain or serrated surface. Standard depths
range from 1 up to 4, although larger sizes are available
upon request.
Heavy Duty
Tru-Weld Heavy Duty Steel Bar Grating is commonly used for
floor trench and sump covers exposed to heavy equipment
traffic. It is used extensively throughout mining, power
generation, highways, airfields, and on truck terminal loading
docks and ramps. It is suitable for large single span conditions
or where grating must support extreme loads.

Fisholow Rectangular
and I-Bar Grating
Aluminum Standard Mesh
Fisholow Aluminum Bar Gratings employ a unique interlocking

system that joins the bearing bars and cross rods together
in panels of exceptional rigidity and strength. Lightweight,
corrosion-resistant, non-sparking alloys are ideal for pedestrian
platforms in chemical, petroleum, and food processing plants.
Fisholow gratings is recommended in most water and waste
water treatment facilities and is becoming increasingly popular
for use in architectural building designs.
Fisholow Aluminum Bar Grating is available in two bar profiles:

Rectangular Bar and I-bar. Similar to Tru-Weld Steel Bar rectangular bar
Grating, Fisholow Rectangular Bar Grating is offered with
a plain or serrated surface. Fisholow I-Bar Grating produces
exceptional load ratings at a fraction of the weight of its
rectangular counterpart, and is designed with a slip resistant

angle nosing (Standard)

Fisholow treads with standard corrugated angle nosing are
strong, lightweight, and self-cleaning. They are ideal for
applications requiring corrosion resistance, non-sparking,
and rust proof grating. The corrugated angle nosing insures
maximum visibility and underfoot safety where needed most.

Grip Span Walkway Channel

Grip Span Walkway channels offer the same slip resistant
properties and self-cleaning advantages of other Grip Span
planks with the added feature of having built in kick-plates
along both sides of the channel length. The 5 toe boards
are integral parts of the channel and prevent tools and other
materials from falling over the edge of a catwalk.

Shur Grip Walkway Channel

Walkway channels offer the same slip resistant properties and
self-cleaning advantages of other Shur Grip planks with the
added feature of having built in kick-plates along both sides
of the channel length. The 5 toe boards are integral parts of
the channel and prevent tools and other materials from falling
over the edge of a catwalk.
Available in 24, 30, and 36 wide options.
*For 30 and 36 wide walkway, width dimension refers

to total overall channel width. For 24 wide walkway,
width dimension refers to the walking surface width.

molded Fibreglass reinforced plastic
(FRP) grating
Molded Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grating is
manufactured in an open, heated mold. Continuous E-glass
fibers are interwoven in alternating layers while being
completely wetted out with thermosetting resin systems.
This continuous process produces an integral, one piece
construction which provides resilience and bi-directional

strength. Although the concave profile of standard plain

surface Molded FRP Grating provides excellent anti-skid
properties, an integral grit surface can be supplied for
additional slip resistance. Other benefits include:
