Safety Grating

DIAMOND-GRIP®
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Diamond-Grip® is a one-piece metal plank grating manufactured by a cold
forming process in the shape of a channel. The web of the channel is the
walking surface and has rough serrated edges around diamond shaped
openings. Diamond openings are complete with radiused corners at the
saddle and side channel locations.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Serrated edges around diamond shaped openings provide slip resistance
under slippery conditions such as snow, ice, grease, oil, etc.
• Radiused corners reduce the possibility of stress cracks across saddles
or at the side channels under various loading conditions.
• Self-cleaning due to resilience of walking surface.
• One-piece metal construction.
• Lightweight design provides high strength to weight ratio.
• Long life span requiring little maintenance.
• Simple and economical installation as planks are self-framing.
• Adaptable to cost effective custom fabrication.
• Can be easily formed in standard channel or custom shapes.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Grating shall be “Diamond-Grip® channel,” manufactured from (see
‘Selections’ below) and complete with a (1-1/2”, 2”, 2-1/2”, 3”) side channel
depth, by AMICO.
• SELECTIONS

Note:
• Tolerances on all dimensions are ±1/8”
• Standard lengths are 121-1/2” & 144”.
• Tolerance on manufactured and cut lengths is ±1/8”.
• When cutting Diamond-Grip®, AMICO® recommends
cutting to full or half diamond increments. Contact
sales for actual dimensions.
• Camber is an expected condition with sheet metal products. While ASTM allowance is generous, AMICO attempts to
lessen the effects. Normal clearances should offset this phenomenon, however where tolerances warrant, contact AMICO
for clarification.

Load & deflection tables

Explanation of Load Type Note:
U = uniform load (lb/ft2) • All UDL and concentrated loads include a safety factor
D = corresponding deflection (in) resulting from uniform load of 1.67.
C = concentrated load (lb) • Spans and loads to the right of the bold line, based on
D = corresponding deflection (in) resulting from concentrated load loads indicated, may exceed deflections of L/120.
• 2 1⁄2” channel not shown in tables. Available by
special request only.

Safety Grating

Diamond-Grip® Walkway

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Diamond-Grip® walkway is a one-piece metal plank grating manufactured
by a cold forming process in the shape of an inverted channel. The web of
the channel is the walking surface and has rough serrated edges around
diamond shaped openings. Diamond openings are complete with radiused
corners at the saddle and side channel location. The extended flanges sup-
port the load and provide a built in kickplate (toeboard).

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Serrated edges around diamond shaped openings provide slip resistance
under slippery conditions such as snow, ice, grease, oil, etc.
• Radiused corners reduce the possibility of stress cracks across saddles
or at the side of channels under various loading conditions.
• Self-cleaning due to resilience of walking surface.
• One-piece metal construction complete with a full height toeboard on
each side of the walking surface.
• Lightweight design provides high strength to weight ratio.
• Long life span requiring little maintenance.
• Simple and economical installation as walkways are self-framing.
• Adaptable to cost effective custom fabrication.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Grating shall be “Diamond-Grip® walkway,” manufactured from (see
‘Selections’ below) and complete with an (4-1⁄2”, 5”) integral toeboard,
by AMICO.
• Selections
• ASTM-A-653, G-90 (Z-275) pre-galvanized 14 or 12 gauge steel.
• ASTM-A-1011, HRP&O 14 or 12 gauge steel.

SAFETY-GRIP®

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Safety-Grip® is a one-piece metal plank grating manufactured by a cold form-
ing process in the shape of a channel. The web of the channel is the walking
surface and has large debossed holes, surrounded by smaller embossed
traction buttons.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Embossed traction buttons provide superior slip resistance in all directions
and in all weather conditions.
• Large debossed holes provide maximum drainage of debris and allow up
to 50% free air opening depending on channel width.
• Self-cleaning due to resilience of walking surface.
• One-piece metal construction.
• Lightweight design provides high strength to weight ratio.
• Long life span requiring little maintenance.
• Simple and economical installation as planks are self-framing.
• Adaptable to cost effective custom fabrication.
• Can be easily formed in standard channel or custom shapes.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Grating shall be “Safety-Grip® channel,” manufactured from (see ‘Selections’
below) and complete with a (1-1/2”, 2”, 3”) side channel depth, by AMICO.
• SELECTIONS
• ASTM-A-653, G-90 (Z-275) Pre-galvanized 13 or 11 gauge steel.
• ASTM-A-1011, HRP&O 13 or 11 gauge steel.
• 5052H32 Aluminum .125” thick (up to 18” width).
• Type 316L 2B Stainless Steel 14 gauge (up to 12” width).
• Type 304L 2B Stainless Steel 16 gauge (up to 12” width).

2. End-hole pattern shown on diagram is even. Widths
indicated with ** have a staggered end-hole pattern.
3. Outside traction buttons on all widths except 18” & 24” width.
4. Standard lengths are 120” and 144”.
5. Tolerance on manufactured and cut lengths is ±1/8”.
6. Camber is an expected condition with sheet metal products. While ASTM allowance is generous, AMICO attempts to lessen
the effects. Normal clearances should offset this phenomenon, however where tolerances warrant, contact AMICO for
clarification.

Explanation of Load Type Note:

U = uniform load (lb/ft2) • All uniform and concentrated loads include a safety
D = corresponding deflection (in) resulting from uniform load factor of 1.67.
C = concentrated load (lb) • Spans and loads to the right of the bold line, based
D = corresponding deflection (in) resulting from concentrated load on loads indicated, may exceed deflections of L/120.

Safety Grating

Safety-Grip® Walkway

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Safety-Grip® walkway is a one-piece metal plank grating manufactured by
a cold forming process in the shape of an inverted channel. The web of the
channel is the walking surface and has large debossed holes, surrounded by
smaller embossed traction buttons. The extended flanges support the load and
provide a built in kickplate (toeboard).

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Embossed traction buttons provide superior slip resistance in all directions
and in all weather conditions.
• Large debossed holes provide maximum drainage of debris and allow up
to 50% free air opening depending on channel width.
• Self-cleaning due to resilience of walking surface.
• One-piece metal construction complete with a full 5” toe-board height on
each side of the walking surface.
• Lightweight design provides high strength to weight ratio.
• Long life span requiring little maintenance.
• Simple and economical installation as walkways are self-framing.
• Adaptable to cost effective custom fabrication.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Grating shall be “Safety-Grip® walkway,” manufactured from
(see ‘Selections’ below) and complete with an integral 5” toe-board,
by AMICO.
Selections
• ASTM-A-653, G-90 (Z-275) pre-galvanized 13 or 11 gauge steel.
• ASTM-A-1011, HRP&O 13 or 11 gauge steel.
