Heavy Duty Expanded Metal Grating 4.5mm Thickness 100mm x 100mm Diamond for Industrial Walkway
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, specializes in manufacturing high-quality expanded metal gratings for demanding industrial applications. Our Heavy Duty Expanded Metal Grating 4.5mm Thickness 100mm x 100mm Diamond is engineered to provide exceptional strength, durability, and slip resistance for industrial walkways, platforms, and other heavy-traffic areas. With a robust 4.5mm base metal thickness and a 100mm x 100mm diamond opening, this grating offers an optimal balance of load-bearing capacity and material efficiency, ensuring long service life even in harsh environments.
Each grating is produced using advanced expanded metal technology, which creates a unified structure without welding or joints, reducing potential weak points. The diamond pattern maximizes strength while allowing light, air, and debris to pass through, making it ideal for outdoor and indoor walkways. Our factory employs strict quality control measures to ensure consistent dimensions, flatness, and surface finish. Whether you need plain steel, hot-dip galvanized, or powder-coated finishes, we can customize the grating to meet your specific requirements.
Below are the key technical specifications and features of our Heavy Duty Expanded Metal Grating:
| Thickness (base metal) | 4.5 mm |
| Diamond opening size | 100 mm x 100 mm (nominal) |
| Material | Carbon steel (Q235, SS400, etc.) or stainless steel (304, 316) available |
| Surface finish | Plain (mill finish), hot-dip galvanized (ASTM A123), or powder coated (RAL colors) |
| Standard sheet size | 1.2m x 2.4m (custom sizes available) |
| Load capacity | High load capacity, suitable for foot traffic, light vehicle usage, and equipment support |
| Slip resistance | Excellent, thanks to the diamond mesh pattern with raised edges |
| Applications | Industrial walkways, catwalks, platforms, mezzanine floors, trench covers, stair treads |
Key Features & Benefits:
- Exceptional Durability: The 4.5mm base metal thickness and expansion process create a grating that withstands heavy loads, impact, and continuous use without deformation.
- Enhanced Safety: The diamond opening pattern with raised edges provides superior slip resistance, reducing the risk of accidents in wet or oily conditions.
- Lightweight & Easy to Install: Compared to solid metal plates, expanded metal grating is significantly lighter, reducing structural support requirements and simplifying installation.
- Versatile Surface Finishes: Choose from plain steel for painting, hot-dip galvanizing for long-term corrosion protection, or powder coating for aesthetic color matching.
- Cost-Effective: The manufacturing process minimizes material waste, and the high strength-to-weight ratio results in lower overall project costs.
- Customizable Dimensions: We can produce grating panels in various sizes and shapes to fit your exact walkway layout, including cutouts for pipes or columns.
- Low Maintenance: Galvanized or coated options require minimal upkeep, even in outdoor or corrosive environments.
Our Heavy Duty Expanded Metal Grating is ideal for industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, mining, manufacturing, and commercial construction. The 100mm x 100mm diamond opening allows debris, water, and light to pass through, keeping walkways clean and well-lit. Additionally, the open structure reduces wind resistance, making it suitable for elevated platforms in windy conditions.
Technical Comparison:
| Feature | Our Grating | Typical Industry Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal thickness | 4.5 mm | 3.0 – 5.0 mm |
| Diamond size | 100 x 100 mm | 50 – 150 mm |
| Load capacity (uniform load) | High (test data available upon request) | Varies by design |
| Corrosion resistance | Excellent with galvanized finish | Moderate for plain steel |
| Customization | Yes – sizes, shapes, cutouts, finishes | Limited with standard products |
We understand that safety and reliability are paramount in industrial environments. That is why every grating panel undergoes rigorous inspection, including dimensional checks, surface uniformity, and load testing per our internal quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the typical lead time for this grating?
Lead time depends on quantity and customization. For standard sizes in plain steel, we can ship within 7–10 days after order confirmation. Custom sizes or galvanized finishes may require 15–20 days. Please inquire for an accurate estimate.
2. Can the grating be cut to specific lengths on site?
Yes, the expanded metal grating can be cut using standard metal cutting tools such as angle grinders, plasma cutters, or shears. We recommend deburring edges after cutting for safety.
3. Is this grating suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. When hot-dip galvanized or powder coated, the grating offers excellent resistance to rain, snow, UV, and corrosion. For extreme marine or chemical environments, stainless steel material is recommended.
4. How do I determine the load capacity for my application?
Load capacity depends on the span (distance between supports) and the thickness/opening size. We can provide load tables and deflection calculations based on your specific support spacing. Contact us with your project details for a technical recommendation.
5. What materials are available besides carbon steel?
We offer stainless steel (304, 316), aluminum, and galvanized steel. Each material has different properties regarding weight, corrosion resistance, and cost. Our sales team can help you choose the best option for your environment.
6. Do you provide samples before bulk order?
Yes, we can provide small samples (e.g., 100mm x 200mm) for evaluation. Samples are available at a nominal cost plus shipping, which may be credited back on a full order.
7. How is the grating packaged for shipping?
Panels are bundled with steel strapping, protected with corner boards, and wrapped in weather-resistant packaging for sea or air freight. We also offer custom crating for fragile or large orders if needed.
8. Can you match a specific RAL color for powder coating?
Yes, we can apply powder coating in any RAL color. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom colors. Please specify the RAL code when placing your order.
