Key Features
- Very high skid resistance even when wet; solid surface prevents fluids or objects falling through; available in various grit types; corrosion-proof backing for underside.
Benefits
- Combines the strength and corrosion resistance of FRP plate with an instant non-slip surface. Eliminates welded metal checker plates, saving labor and eliminating rust spots. Easy to clean.
Applications
- Bridge decks, trench covers, stair landings, swimming pool decks, industrial floors that see liquids or oils. Also used on hatches and service pits to ensure worker safety.
Technical Specifications
- Typical FRP core thickness 3-6mm; grit 0.5mm layer. Load rating per FRP plate standards (SAFPLATE use case shows use under heavy traffic). Can support 500–1000 lb concentrated loads depending on support.
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Unlike metal plates, FRP gritted plate is non-conductive and lightweight (e.g. 5–10 kg/m² vs. 30 kg/m² for steel). It resists saltwater and chemicals, making it ideal for coastal or washdown areas.
