An electroforged heavy traffic grating refers to a type of steel grating that is specifically designed and manufactured to withstand heavy loads and high levels of foot or vehicular traffic. The term electroforged indicates that the grating is produced using the electroforging process, a method of welding steel bars together at their intersections to create a strong and durable structure.
Typically made from steel, electroforged heavy traffic grating is constructed using materials that provide high strength and durability. The choice of steel and the electroforging process contribute to the grating’s load-bearing capabilities. The design and construction of electroforged heavy traffic grating are engineered to withstand heavy loads, making it suitable for applications where there is significant vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
The electroforging process involves the fusion of intersecting steel bars through the application of an electric current. This welding method creates a rigid and interconnected grid structure that enhances the overall strength of the grating. The grating features a grid or mesh pattern formed by the welded steel bars. This open design allows for the passage of air, light, and water, making it suitable for applications where ventilation and drainage are important, to ensure durability in various environments, electroforged heavy traffic grating may be made from materials that are corrosion-resistant, such as galvanized steel or other protective coatings, it can be customized in terms of size, shape, and load-bearing capacity to meet specific project requirements. Common applications for electroforged heavy traffic grating include industrial flooring, walkways, platforms, stair treads, parking lots, and areas with heavy equipment or machinery traffic.
Electroforged heavy traffic grating is used in various applications where there is a need for a strong, durable, and open flooring solution capable of withstanding heavy loads and high levels of foot or vehicular traffic, such as industrial flooring, used in industrial facilities and manufacturing plants where there is heavy machinery, equipment, and constant foot traffic, walkways and platforms in industrial settings, construction sites, or warehouses, the open grid design allows for ventilation and drainage, making it suitable for outdoor or elevated applications. Stair treads in areas where stairs are subjected to heavy use, such as industrial facilities, transportation hubs, or public spaces. Parking loads and garages to support the weight of vehicles, allowing water drainage, reducing the risk of pooling.
Commercial and retail spaces, loading docks in warehouses and distribution centers, bridge decks and pedestrian bridges, water treatment plants, power plants and refineries, public transportation hubs in bus and train stations, and airports. Mining operations, where the flooring needs to withstand the weight of heavy mining equipment, electroforged heavy traffic grating is a durable choice for walkways and platforms.
They can be manufactured in different sizes according to the customer’s needs, in a smooth surface and 3 different finishes: natural which provides a minimalist and authentic low maintenance look, the painted finish provides a customized aesthetic and corrosion protection, and the galvanized finish has a greater protection against corrosion, greater durability and low maintenance. Our heavy traffic electroforged gratings are manufactured to the highest quality standards, under ANSI NAAMM MBG-531-17, in carbon steel.
