The pultruded grating is formed by pultruding “I” and “T” shaped profiles as load-bearing bars, using a sawtooth-shaped connection with transverse rods. Fiberglass pultruded grating is assembled into a board with gaps through this process. It is known for being lightweight, high-strength, anti-corrosion, anti-slip, aging-resistant, having a long lifespan, and being resistant to planing and fragmentation. No fire is required during construction, it is non-conductive, and there is no static electricity. During use, it won’t produce sparks due to impact, and its installation is easy, providing high overall efficiency.
Advantages of Fiberglass Pultruded Grating:
● Lightweight: Its specific gravity is around 1.8, it only weighs a quarter of the weight of steel, and two thirds of aluminum.
● High Strength: Its strength is ten times that of rigid PVC, far surpassing aluminum and reaching 1.7 times the strength of ordinary steel.
● Corrosion-resistant: It doesn’t rust, doesn’t mold, doesn’t rot, and doesn’t require painting, and can resist the corrosion of many gases and liquid media.
● Fatigue-resistant: The Fiberglass Pultruded Grating has some elasticity, which makes people working on it for a long time feel comfortable, reduces leg and back tension for workers, increases working comfort, thus improving work efficiency, and has been recommended by human ergonomics engineers.
● Good economic benefits: Compared with ordinary carbon steel, the overall cost of fiberglass grating is lower. Although its initial investment is higher than ordinary carbon steel, due to its long lifespan, which can generally be used for twenty years, and requires no maintenance, its overall economic benefits are much better than using carbon steel.
● Easy to install: The use of fiberglass grating significantly reduces the weight of the components, thereby reducing the weight of the supporting structure. Fiberglass pultruded grating does not require the use of lifting equipment during installation, which is both economical and convenient.
● Safety: In the process of installing and using fiberglass grating, it won’t produce electric sparks due to collision, making it particularly suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments. In addition, grating with anti-slip surface can prevent slippage, reducing accidents.
