Description
Safety Grating Scaffold Planks Overview
Safety Grating Scaffold Planks form a key part of any scaffolding system. They provide reliable load‑bearing strength and effective anti‑slip performance. We manufacture these metal scaffold planks primarily from Q235 steel. Our unique design ensures each platform remains stable and secure. This supports smooth and efficient progress on every construction project.
Some projects use these safety gratings as low‑cost storage areas for mobile scaffolding. More often, they see extensive use across multiple construction phases. Builders rely on them during new building construction and renovation work. Demolition projects also utilize these durable planks. They serve equally well in ongoing operation and maintenance activities.

Materials Options of Safety Grating Scaffold Planks
Pre-Galvanized Carbon Steel
The galvanizing process effectively prevents corrosion and rust, significantly extending the steel’s service life. (ASTM A‑924‑G90)
HRPO Carbon Steel
Hot‑rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) steel is specifically treated to resist rust and corrosion. This material performs well in fabrication, welding, bending, and cold forming. Finished products feature a clean, flat surface suitable for a wide range of applications. (ASTM A‑1011 HRPO)
Aluminum
We use 5052‑H32 aluminum as the primary material. Its main alloying element is magnesium, which provides excellent formability, corrosion resistance, weldability, and medium strength. The load capacity of 5052‑H32 aluminum can reach up to 0.5 lbs./ft.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel offers strong corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and maintains excellent performance under low‑temperature conditions. It also delivers favorable mechanical properties and handles hot‑working processes—such as stamping and bending—with ease.

Safety Grating VS Steel Grating VS Expanded Grating
| Aspect | Safety Grating | Steel Grating | Expanded Grating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material & Structure | Typically made of steel with anti-slip surface (serrated, perforated, or embossed). | Made of load-bearing steel bars welded or locked into a grid pattern. | Formed by cutting and stretching a single metal sheet, creating diamond‑shaped openings in one piece. |
| Main Advantages | Excellent anti-slip performance; safe for wet/oily environments; often lightweight; easy to install and maintain. | High load‑bearing capacity; durable and rigid; suitable for heavy‑duty industrial use; long service life. | Lightweight yet strong; economical material use; good ventilation and drainage; seamless design reduces debris trapping. |
| Limitations | Generally lower load capacity than heavy‑duty steel grating; may wear faster under extreme abrasion. | Heavier and more expensive; surface can be slippery when wet unless serrated; installation can be more labor‑intensive. | Lower load capacity compared to welded steel grating; openings are fixed during manufacturing, limiting customization after production. |
| Typical Applications | Scaffolding platforms, walkways, stair treads, mezzanine floors in workshops, and areas requiring slip resistance. | Industrial flooring, trench covers, platform decks, heavy‑vehicle access areas, and structural supports in factories, ports, and plants. | Decorative screens, machine guards, ventilation panels, lightweight platforms, fencing, and architectural cladding. |
| Cost & Maintenance | Moderately priced; low maintenance if galvanized or coated; easy to clean and replace if damaged. | Higher initial cost; requires anti‑corrosion treatment (e.g., hot‑dip galvanizing); durable with minimal long‑term maintenance. | Most cost‑effective in material and production; lightweight reduces support structure cost; easy to cut and shape on‑site. |
| Safety Features | Designed specifically for slip resistance; often meets OSHA/EN standards for walkway safety; reduces fall and injury risks in high‑risk areas. | Provides strong structural integrity; can be fitted with serrated surfaces for traction; fire‑resistant and robust under impact. | Smooth, burr‑free edges enhance safety during handling; open design allows light and air passage, reducing accumulation of hazardous substances. |
Summary
Safety Grating prioritizes anti‑slip safety in work environments, ideal for platforms and walkways where traction is critical.
Steel Grating offers superior strength and durability, suited for heavy‑industrial and high‑load applications.
Expanded Grating provides a lightweight, economical, and versatile solution for decorative, ventilation, and light‑duty functional uses.
