Safe Load Tables Rectangular Pattern Mild Steel Flooring
2
The table below give the safe Uniformly Distributed Loads in kN/m for mild steel gratings with plain load bearing bars.
For gratings with serrated edge load bearings bars the tabulated loads should be multiplied by 0.75 for 25 mm and
30 mm deep sections and 0.80 for 35 mm and over deep sections.
The loads have been calculated to a maximum stress of 165 N/mm2 and deflections are limited to within 1/200th of the
span or 10 mm whichever is the lesser.

Note that loads shown to the right of the blue line are below 5 kN/m which is the minimum design requirement for

Mild Steel & Stainless Steel Floor Plate
Durbar raised pattern non-slip mild steel solid floor plate.
This plate may be used for trench covers, platforms, stair landings and
stair treads. The raised leaf pattern, having no enclosures, providess
increased non-slip surface to give firm grip in all directions. For
particularly slippery conditions a carborundum surface finish is
available. Plates of this type are self draining and readily cleaned,
therefore minimising corrosion and ensuring longer life.
Trench covers, which are to be readily removed, are holed for and
supplied complete with standard lifting keys. Where necessary, y plattes

This type of ladder provides an improved

We recommend that the maximum
vertical rise should not exceed

limits of 450mm and 550mm.
It should be noted that 250mm
