How to understand Press-locked Steel Grating

Understanding press-locked steel grating involves knowing what it is, how it’s made, and where it's typically used. Here’s a breakdown:

What is Press-Locked Steel Grating?

Press-locked steel grating is a type of metal grating where flat bars are joined together by pressure-locking rather than welding. It is known for its clean lines, strength, and aesthetic appeal.

How is it Made?

Main bearing bars (flat bars placed at regular intervals) are laid out.

Cross bars (also flat bars, usually perpendicular) are forced into notched bearing bars using hydraulic pressure.

The pressure causes the cross bars to lock tightly into place without the need for welding.

This process creates a rigid and durable structure.

Key Characteristics

Smooth surface: No weld marks, giving a clean appearance.

Tight tolerance: Good dimensional accuracy.

Customizable spacing: Suitable for a range of load and ventilation requirements.

Corrosion-resistant options: Often galvanized or coated for durability.

Common Applications

Architectural facades

Industrial flooring and walkways

Platforms and stair treads

Security screens and fences

Advantages Over Welded Grating

Better aesthetics (no welds, tighter tolerances)

More uniform load distribution

Often safer for foot traffic due to smoother top surface
