Creation of a New Light Weight Grating

Abstract LIGHT WEIGHT AND ANTI SLIP GRATING PANEL The invention of the light weight and anti-slip grating panel is an improved product that has significant advantages over common steel grating. Beside the many features found on the new grating, there are four major outstanding advantages over common steel grating. 1) The unique design of the new grating that is lighter by approximately 35% in weight. This is made possible with the creation of a hollow load bearing bar. The new grating being lighter in weight could also potentially reduce the overall weight of the main building structure. 2) Even though the load bearing bar is hollow but the overall integrity of the new grating panel is stronger. The new design can take approximately 12% more loads. 3) It takes a lot lesser raw material to manufacture the new grating panel. Thus, the finish product is priced competitively. This cost benefit will assist the consumer greatly in the overall project cost management. 4) The embossed rings found on the new grating provide a true anti-slip function. This safety feature aims to reduce the number of accident that occurs at workplace especially on oily working surface and stair treads.
