Experience Matters

Webforge has extensive experience in manufacturing and supplying both fully customised access systems and individual components for implementation in a variety of safe access applications. 

Access systems incorporate safe walkways, ramps and stairways, including handrailing and gates to ensure the safety of everyone on site. A variety of materials and profiles available in the offering ensures Webforge can supply the right product for your application and environment.

The  Quick Guide to Flooring provides guidance as to the appropriate choice of grating material and profile, depending on your application and chosen spans. A full load table for each grating type is available under the product headings, and all load tables, along with this guide are available under the download section.

If you require assistance using this table, or would like to discuss your project in detail, please contact your local sales consultant.

Things to consider when selecting grating material and profile.

- Type of use; for example light or heavy, how much traffic are you expecting?
- How often will you be supporting the grating?
- What is the span of the structure?
- Slip resistance? Is there an incline of >10º?
