Grip Strut™ Defined
Often found below your feet, the Grip Strut™ safety grating shape creates great grippage to make the perfect non-slip environment. It’s commonly implemented in industrial flooring, inspection walkways, work platforms, catwalks, and rooftop walkways. Grip Strut™ is also utilized in the trucking industry, especially in areas that regularly get snowy or icy weather, with it being the base for safety steps on semi-trailer trucks. The Grip Strut™ shape is available in hot rolled, rectangular shapes.
Grip Strut™ Metal Types
Hot Rolled
HOT ROLLED STEEL VS. COLD-FINISHED STEEL
There are many differences between hot rolled and cold-finished steel. The first is the process. Hot rolled steel goes through one high heat treatment process, while cold-finished steel requires further processing. After cooling to room temperature, cold-finished steel is then rolled again. This additional treatment process results in a stronger metal that can be used for more precise applications or projects that require a smoother aesthetic appearance. Compared to cold-finished steel, hot rolled steel surfaces are rougher. Hot rolled steel is typically used in applications where precise shapes and tolerances are not critical.
