Applications of grids in shipping

Decks and walkways : Grating is used for safe and durable walking surfaces on ships. Plastic grating offers a lightweight and corrosion-resistant solution, while steel grating is suitable for applications with higher loads.
Stairs and ladders : For vertical and inclined access points, grating provides non-slip and durable steps. Plastic grating is low-maintenance and chemical-resistant; steel grating offers high load-bearing capacity and is suitable for heavy-duty conditions.
Maintenance platforms and technical rooms : In engine rooms and technical rooms, gratings ensure safe and durable floors. Plastic gratings are non-conductive and corrosion-resistant; steel gratings can be coated for durability.
Cable trays and drainage systems : Grating is used as a cover for cable trays and drainage systems on board. Plastic grating is lightweight and easy to install; steel grating offers robustness and is suitable for heavy loads.

Benefits of grids in shipping

Corrosion resistance : Plastic gratings are resistant to saltwater and chemicals, making them ideal for marine environments. Steel gratings can be treated with galvanization or coatings to provide corrosion resistance.
Lightweight and strong : Plastic gratings are lightweight, which simplifies installation and reduces the stress on structures. Steel gratings offer high load-bearing capacity for heavy loads.
Anti-slip properties : Both types of grating can be provided with anti-slip top layers, which increases safety in wet and oily conditions.
Low maintenance : Plastic gratings require little maintenance and are resistant to rust and rot. Properly treated steel gratings have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance.
Safety and comfort : The open structure of the grids ensures good drainage and ventilation, which increases crew comfort and reduces the risk of slipping.
