Steel Walkway Plank for Oil Rig Platforms, 3mm Thick, Slip-Resistant Coating
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – your trusted manufacturer of high-quality steel walkway planks for oil rig platforms since 1998. Our 3mm thick steel walkway plank, featuring a specialized slip-resistant coating, is engineered to withstand the harsh offshore environment while ensuring maximum safety for personnel. With over 26 years of experience and an annual export value of US$5–10 million, we deliver products that meet the rigorous demands of global oil and gas operations.
This walkway plank is designed for easy installation, long service life, and reliable performance on drilling rigs, production platforms, and other marine structures. The 3mm thickness provides a robust balance between strength and weight, while the slip-resistant coating significantly reduces the risk of accidents in wet, oily, or icy conditions. Whether you need standard sizes or custom dimensions, our factory can tailor the product to your specific project requirements.
Below we detail the key features, technical specifications, and benefits that make our steel walkway plank a superior choice for your oil rig platform needs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Made from high-strength Q235 or Q345 steel, the plank supports heavy loads and resists deformation under extreme conditions.
- 3mm Thickness for Optimal Durability: The 3mm gauge provides excellent stiffness without excessive weight, making it easy to handle and install.
- Slip-Resistant Coating: A specially formulated anti-slip surface (e.g., epoxy with quartz aggregate) ensures a coefficient of friction of 0.6 or higher, even in wet environments.
- Corrosion Resistance Options: Available with hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, or anti-rust paint to withstand saltwater and chemical exposure.
- Customizable Dimensions: Lengths from 1 to 6 meters, widths from 200 to 500 mm, and various hole patterns for drainage and weight reduction.
- Easy Installation: Pre-drilled fixing holes and interlocking edges allow for quick assembly and secure fastening to support beams.
- Safety Compliance: Designed to meet international offshore safety standards (e.g., OSHA, NORSOK, API – consult for specific requirements).
- Low Maintenance: The durable coating and galvanized finish minimize the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Why Choose Our Steel Walkway Plank?
Our product is specifically tailored for the demanding oil rig environment. The 3mm thickness offers a perfect balance: it is thick enough to prevent bending under heavy machinery and foot traffic, yet thin enough to keep the overall weight manageable for offshore logistics. The slip-resistant coating undergoes rigorous testing to ensure long-term adhesion and resistance to UV, salt spray, and chemicals.
We also offer flexibility in customization. Whether you need a non-standard length to fit an existing grate, a specific color for safety marking, or additional drainage holes to reduce weight, our engineering team can accommodate your request. Each plank is manufactured with precision laser cutting or punching, ensuring consistent hole patterns and smooth edges.
Furthermore, the planks are designed for easy replacement. If a section becomes damaged, you can simply unbolt the old plank and install a new one without disturbing adjacent sections. This modularity reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
