Slip-Resistant Grating

Anti-slip grating in glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or, alternatively, steel gives safe footing on walkways, platforms and stairs – designed for maximum workplace safety in any environment.

Grating is indispensable wherever people need safe footing and a stable walking surface. Especially in environments where conventional steel grating reaches its limits because of rust and corrosion, our slip-resistant GRP grating offers a proven alternative.

Made-to-measure steel anti-slip grating – safety, quality and durability combined

Raise your safety standards and choose top quality with our steel anti-slip grating. Manufactured to DIN 24537 using modern production methods, our made-to-measure steel grating combines robust steel, an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and easy installation. Thanks to serrated, non-slip surfaces, the grating provides secure footing even on ice, snow, moisture or lubricants (slip resistance class R12) – ideal for traffic routes, platforms, walkways, shafts and channel inlets.

Why choose GRP anti-slip grating?

1. Certified quality: our slip-resistant grating in glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is manufactured in the EU. Test certificates for each version are available on request. These certificates make it a preferred choice for offshore units and steel ships, where strict fire safety criteria apply.
2. Improved safety: the surface of our grating is designed to provide a high coefficient of friction, which significantly reduces the risk of slips, trips and falls.
3. Durability: thanks to its construction, our grating is particularly robust and withstands extreme conditions and heavy use. It stands up to the elements and is a long-term solution for your requirements.
4. Low maintenance: unlike conventional steel grating, our GRP grating needs no costly maintenance. It is easy to clean and never needs painting, blasting or replacing.
5. Non-conductive: in environments where electrical conductivity is a concern, our grating is a safe alternative to steel because it does not conduct electricity.
6. Static-dissipative for ATEX zones: dissipative versions are available for potentially explosive atmospheres. We confirm suitability for your hazardous area on a product-by-product basis using the test certificate and your explosion protection concept, with reference to TRGS 727 (the German technical rule on electrostatic charges), among others.
7. Cost-effective: its low weight and easy handling save you time and money on transport and installation.

Where our slip-resistant grating is used

Our GRP grating is used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Stairs
• Walkways
• Landings
• Ship decks
• Bridges
• Production lines
• Chemical rooms
• Helipads
• Fencing (non-conductive)
• Bespoke GRP structures and special builds

Grating rated R11 to R13 is suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, including:

1. Chemical industry: in production plants, storage areas and chemical laboratories, slip-resistant grating provides safety when handling chemicals and improves traction in wet or oily environments.
2. Oil and gas industry: on offshore platforms, in refineries and in storage areas, grating provides safe walkways, stairs and work areas, even in harsh conditions such as high temperatures and slippery surfaces.
3. Food industry: in production sites, cold rooms, wineries and wine cellars, fruit and juice processing and storage areas, where hygiene and safety are paramount, slip-resistant grating provides a safe walking surface and prevents slips and trips.
4. Transport and logistics: in warehouses, loading areas and distribution centres, slip-resistant grating ensures safe walkways and work areas, even where there is heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
5. Shipbuilding and the marine sector: on ship decks, in port facilities and marine working environments, slip-resistant grating provides a safe working platform, even in rough weather and on slippery surfaces.
6. Power generation: in power stations, substations, wind turbines and other generating facilities, slip-resistant grating provides a safe walking surface for staff working near machinery and plant, and in areas with oily or wet floors.
7. Automotive industry: in factories, assembly lines and workshops, slip-resistant grating provides a safe walking surface for staff working near machinery and vehicles, and in areas that may be oily or wet.
8. Mining: in mines, quarrying areas and processing plants, slip-resistant grating ensures safe walkways and work areas, even in dusty, damp conditions and difficult terrain.
9. Rail and tram operations: at stations, on platforms and at tram stops, slip-resistant grating provides a safe walking surface for passengers, especially in bad weather such as rain, snow or ice. It allows safe boarding and alighting from trains and trams and minimises the risk of falls.
10. Aerospace: in aircraft maintenance hangars, airport terminals and space centres, slip-resistant grating provides a safe walking surface for staff working near aircraft, spacecraft and other aviation equipment. It offers high traction even in adverse conditions such as rain or snow, minimising the risk of falls in these demanding working environments.

Our slip-resistant ATEX grating is ideal for a wide range of applications in ATEX zones, including:

• Chemical plants
• Oil and gas industry
• Refineries
• Warehouses for flammable substances
• Production plants with explosion risks
• Flour processing

Summary

Slip-resistant grating offers the ideal combination of safety, durability and cost-effectiveness. Invest in high-quality grating that meets your requirements, helps prevent accidents and makes your workplace safer.

FAQs: anti-slip grating

When is GRP grating better than steel?

GRP is usually the better choice in wet, chemical and offshore environments, because it is lightweight, does not corrode and does not conduct electricity. Steel is often the first choice for very high point loads.

What slip resistance class does anti-slip grating have?

Depending on the version, anti-slip grating achieves slip resistance classes up to R13. What counts is the test certificate for the specific grating, which is available on request.

Can existing grating be made non-slip retrospectively?

Yes, existing grating can be made non-slip with bolt-down GRP sheets, GRP stair nosing and special clips. Complete replacement is then often unnecessary.
