Riveted Gratings

Riveted grating represents the earliest and most structurally robust form of industrial grating still in production. Engineered on the truss principle, this design ensures superior lateral load distribution, torsional rigidity, and impact resistance, making it ideal for high-load and dynamic environments.

Borden Riveted Gratings are precision-fabricated to deliver optimal performance in demanding industrial applications. The riveted construction method mechanically fastens bearing bars and crimp bars, forming a unified load-bearing structure that minimizes deflection and enhances fatigue life under cyclic loading.

These gratings are particularly suited for:
– Vehicular traffic (e.g., forklifts, highway trucks)
– Heavy-duty industrial flooring
– Bridge decking and infrastructure
– Dynamic load zones in manufacturing and logistics

A key engineering advantage is the use of serrated and raised crimp bars, which provide enhanced slip resistance without necessitating increased bearing bar depth—thereby maintaining structural efficiency and minimizing weight.

Material Options:
– Carbon Steel: High strength and cost-effective for general industrial use.
– Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant for chemical, food processing, and marine environments.
– Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for weight-sensitive applications.

Riveted grating is specified where load uniformity, long-term durability, and operator safety are critical. For detailed load tables and deflection data, refer to the accompanying technical documentation.
