Grip Strut Grating is a formed metal safety grating with a serrated, perforated surface designed to provide traction in demanding working environments. Unlike conventional bar grating, its walking surface is formed with raised edges around the openings. This creates multiple contact points for footwear.
The open profile also allows water, mud, oil and other debris to move through the surface instead of accumulating on a solid floor. This makes Grip Strut particularly relevant to industrial stairs, elevated walkways, ramps, platforms and maintenance access areas.
AMMS Global currently offers Grip Strut safety grating as part of its industrial stair tread range, alongside serrated bar grating options.
Grip Strut Safety Grating for Industrial Applications
Grip Strut safety grating is designed for areas where traction and drainage are important. It can be used on industrial stairways, ramps, platforms and maintenance access routes where workers may encounter moisture, oil, dirt or other contaminants.
The formed surface provides a different traction profile from serrated bar grating. This makes the selection dependent on the application rather than simply choosing one grating style for every project.
Grip Strut walkway grating can be used for elevated access routes, maintenance walkways and industrial platforms. Its open construction supports drainage while the formed anti-slip surface provides traction underfoot.
For outdoor installations, the material and finish should be selected according to moisture, corrosion exposure and other site conditions.
Grip Strut Grating Material Options
Galvanized Grip Strut Grating
Galvanized Grip Strut Grating can be considered for outdoor or moisture-exposed applications where additional corrosion protection is required. The galvanized finish helps protect the underlying steel from environmental exposure.
Aluminum Grip Strut Grating
Aluminum Grip Strut Grating provides a lighter-weight alternative to steel for applications where reducing structural weight is important. It can be considered for access areas where the material needs to combine low weight with corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel Grip Strut Grating
Stainless steel Grip Strut grating can be considered for environments where corrosion resistance is a major specification requirement. Stainless steel may be appropriate for demanding industrial environments with regular exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions.
The material should always be selected according to the actual site conditions and project specification.
Grip Strut Grating Applications
Grip Strut can be used in several industrial access applications.
- Industrial stairs: The formed anti-slip surface provides traction while the open construction helps drain water and loose debris.
- Ramps: Grip Strut can provide an open walking surface where additional underfoot traction is required.
- Platforms: It can be incorporated into elevated working areas around machinery, equipment and processing systems.
- Maintenance walkways: The combination of drainage and traction makes it suitable for access routes that may become wet or contaminated.
- Equipment access: Grip Strut can be used around industrial equipment where workers require regular access for inspection and maintenance.
AMMS Global's existing stair tread range identifies Grip Strut applications across factories, plants, platforms, walkways and other access areas.
Grip Strut Grating Features and Benefits
Grip Strut and conventional bar grating both provide open access surfaces, but their construction is different.
Grating Type | Best For | Key Strength |
Grip Strut | Stairs, ramps, walkways and maintenance access | Formed anti-slip surface |
Serrated Bar Grating | Platforms, stairs and industrial flooring | Strong open load-bearing structure |
Aluminum Grip Strut | Lightweight access applications | Lower weight and corrosion resistance |
Galvanized Grip Strut | Outdoor and moisture-exposed areas | Added corrosion protection |
Stainless Steel Grip Strut | Corrosive environments | High corrosion resistance |
AMMS Global's existing product information distinguishes Grip Strut from serrated bar grating based on their surface construction and typical applications.
How to Choose Grip Strut Grating
The right specification depends on more than the grating material. Start with the application and support structure.
Consider the length and width, expected load, support span, material, surface requirements and environmental exposure. For outdoor or industrial applications, moisture, oil, chemicals and corrosion should also be considered.
For stair applications, AMMS Global recommends providing dimensions, tread type, material, expected loading, environment and fixing details when specifying a product.
Grip Strut Grating Manufacturer and Supplier
When selecting a Grip Strut grating manufacturer, buyers should consider material availability, fabrication capability, dimensional requirements and technical support.
AMMS Global works with project-specific dimensions, material requirements and quantities for industrial grating and stair tread applications. Its current safety grating range includes Grip Strut and serrated bar grating options.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Grip Strut grating?
Grip Strut grating is a formed metal safety grating with a perforated anti-slip surface. Raised edges around the openings provide multiple points of contact for footwear while the open design allows water and debris to pass through.
2. Who makes Grip Strut?
Grip Strut is a type of formed safety grating produced by manufacturers using specialized metal forming processes. AMMS Global supplies Grip Strut safety grating for industrial stair, walkway, platform and access applications.
3. What are the dimensions of a Grip Strut stair tread plank?
There is no single universal dimension for every Grip Strut stair tread. Dimensions depend on the staircase design, required tread width and length, support arrangement and project requirements. AMMS Global recommends providing the required dimensions along with the material, load and fixing details when requesting a specification.
