Question 1

Which grating type should I choose for an industrial platform?

Accepted Answer

Most industrial platforms use welded steel grating for strength, drainage and predictable load performance. FRP grating is better for corrosive chemical, marine or wastewater areas, while press-locked grating is often selected when a cleaner architectural appearance is required.

Question 2

What information do you need to calculate grating load and span?

Accepted Answer

Share the clear span, support layout, load requirement, bearing bar direction, opening size, project standard and preferred surface treatment. Drawings in DWG, DXF, PDF or marked sketches help our team confirm panel layout and edge banding quickly.

Question 3

Can KINGCATS make custom panel sizes and cut-outs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support custom panel sizes, toe plates, stair treads, trench covers, rounded or irregular cut-outs, notches for pipes and installation clips. Custom details should be confirmed before galvanizing or final surface treatment.

Question 4

When should I specify hot-dip galvanized grating?

Accepted Answer

Hot-dip galvanizing is recommended for outdoor, humid, industrial and most general steel grating applications because it protects the bearing bars and cross bars after welding and fabrication. Stainless steel or FRP may be better for highly corrosive chemical exposure.

Question 5

How do you pack steel grating for overseas shipping?

Accepted Answer

Panels are bundled, banded and palletized according to size and weight. We add shipping marks, packing lists and protection for edges or finished surfaces so containers can be loaded efficiently and identified on site.

Question 6

How fast can I receive a quotation?

Accepted Answer

For standard grating specifications, quotations can often be prepared within 24 hours after dimensions, quantity, material, finish and delivery requirements are clear. Complex projects with drawings or load checks may need additional engineering review.
