Type PL (pressure locked)

Pressed gratings manufactured exclusively from flat bars. They are available in the following mesh sizes (c/c): 22×22, 22×66, 25×66, 33×33, 33×66, 44×22, 66×22 and 66×33 mm. The bearing bar can vary from 25×2 to 150×5 mm and the transverse bar from 10×2 to 20×4 mm.

Type PLX (pressure locked)

Cross pressed gratings manufactured exclusively from flat bars and are recommended for areas which may be subjected to stress from heavy duty vehicles or as turning points. They are available in the following mesh sizes (c/c): 22×66, 33×33, 33×66, 25×66 and 66×33 mm. The bearing bar can vary from 30×4 to 150×6 mm and the transverse bar from 15×4 to 30×6 mm.

Type PLXE (pressure locked)
