Industrial Plant And Processing
Platforms, walkways and trench covers inside working plants, where the grating and its handrail should arrive as one package.
Where It Goes Wrong
- Grating and handrail bought from two suppliers and arriving weeks apart
- Handrail fabricated post by post on site at site labour rates
- Panels that deflect visibly because the section was chosen on price
- Covers in forklift routes specified one class too light and replaced repeatedly
- Platform panels that will not line up because they arrived out of square
What These Buyers Ask For
- Grating, frames and ball joint handrail in one shipment and one finish
- Panels marked to a layout drawing so they go to the right opening
- Sections chosen against span and deflection, not only against strength
- Hold-downs wherever wheels cross a panel
- Serrated surfaces where floors are wet or oily
