Riveted Steel Grating
Riveted gratings are manufactured by cold press riveting straight bearing bars to crimped rectangular flat bars. The oldest form of grating, riveted products offer superior resistance to impact, fatigue, and repetitive loads.
Riveted gratings are ideal for applications where high strength and stiffness are required. Bridge decking is a heavy duty form of riveted grating.
Riveted grating is mainly manufactured from carbon steel, aluminum steel or stainless steel. The carbon steel can be galvanized or painted for further corrosion resistance, and the aluminum rivet grating is popular with applications, which need lightweight and corrosion resistant gratings. The stainless steel rivet grating has excellent acid and alkali resistance, it is widely used in the extremely harsh environments.
Features

Abrasive Coating Process
Light Duty: Light Duty Carbon Riveted Grating includes bar sizes of 3/4” x 1/8” up to 2-1/2” x 3/16”. It is primarily used for pedestrian traffic and for light, tired, rolling traffic such as carts, dollies, and hand trucks.
Heavy Duty: Heavy Duty Carbon Riveted Grating includes bar sizes of 2-1/2” x 3/16” up to 5” x 3/8”. It is primarily used where heavy vehicular traffic is utilized including industrial plants utilizing fork lift trucks, highways, and bridges,highway trenches,Airport ramps,Ramps and docks,Commercial entrances and Trench gratings.
Aluminum: Aluminum Riveted Grating offers a corrosion resistant alternative to carbon. It is lightweight and strong. It is highly utilized in corrosive environments including food/beverage preparation, water vessels, and sewage treatment facilities. Sizes parallel Light Duty Carbon Grating provided above.
Application of Riveted Bar Grating
Typical applications include: catwalks, platforms, pedestrian trenches, pedestrian sump pits, water and sewage treatment facilities, waste water treatment plants, food processing, and marine environments. Surface options are smooth or serrated. Aluminum comes in a mill finish. Because of the benefits mentioned above, riveted bar grating is a preferred choice for engineering applications. Riveted grating is available with a smooth or serrated surface that offers the perfect solution for rolling stock and wheeled equipment, particularly items that contain casters, as well as walkways that require maximum walking comfort. Other uses include virtually any type of flat surface such as ramps, loading docks and industrial and commercial flooring.
