Installation points of platform steel grating in the inspection platform
1. Inspection platforms typically require high safety standards, especially when they are located at elevated heights. To reduce the risk of steel grating detachment, it is recommended to weld the grating in place as much as possible during installation. This ensures a more secure and long-lasting structure.
2. To prevent slipping, twisted steel should be used as crossbars, or composite steel grating can be chosen for better grip and stability. These options enhance the overall safety and usability of the platform.
3. The steel grating should be installed in alignment with the flat structural members of the steel frame. Once installed, it must remain fixed and not move laterally or detach from the supporting frame. The support length on both sides of the grating, along the direction of the flat steel, should be at least 25mm to ensure proper fixation.
4. For platforms that require mobility or easy removal, special mounting fixtures must be used to secure the steel grating. These fixtures help prevent any unintended movement, ensuring the safety of workers and equipment.
5. Installation clamps can be provided by the manufacturer based on the buyer's specifications. In addition to stainless steel clamps, those made from Q235 low carbon steel must undergo hot-dip galvanization for corrosion resistance. It is also advisable to apply hot-dip galvanizing to the bolt surfaces. The bolt diameter should be no less than 8mm, and each steel grating should have at least four bolts for secure fastening.
6. Regular inspections are essential to check the tightness of the steel grating. Any signs of corrosion, looseness, or misalignment of the mounting clips should be addressed immediately to avoid potential hazards. Routine maintenance helps extend the lifespan of the platform and ensures ongoing safety.
