RHINO GRATING
The Professional Choice
A Unique Product
Pitch of Bearing Bar
The centre distance between two bearing bars
adjacent to each other is called pitch of bearing
bar. Standard pitch is 30mm (Series 1),
40mm (Series 2).
Product range
designed for
the International
Market
Our manufacturing factory
boasts an extensive product
range with a simplified key
range of options packaged
specifically for the
International Market.
RHINO GRATING product groups:
Load bar centres:
30mm load bar centres for
high foot traffic.
40mm load bar centres for
low foot traffic.
Important Please note: we can
supply 60mm centres but this
size does not meet AS/NZ
standards for elevated
platforms.
Long-term cost
savings
Multi-purpose utility and
diversity in application are
some of the best attributes a
product can offer, and the
RHINO GRATING products
certainly offer these. Grating
has many uses not only in
industry as walkway flooring
but also as screens, drain
covers and stairways.
Better still, RHINO GRATING
is unique!
Similar to a steel I Beam
where the strength is in the
flanges, the bar profile gives
around 25% weight reduction
while retaining strength.
This design saves not only
weight, but also material cost
and galvanising cost. Savings
are also made in the design of
the supporting structure for
the grate, as the product is so
much lighter and stress is
reduced.
Pitch of Cross Bar
The centre distance between two cross bars
adjacent to each other is called pitch of cross
bar. Standard pitch is 100mm.

Grating Types
I Bar or Flat Bar Grating
The bearing bar comes in the form of an
I-Section. This type of grating is used where
high strength is required and light weight is
critical. Commonly used for platforms and
walkways.
Please note: Load bar sizes range from 20mm to 100mm depth
Load bars are available in both FLAT BAR and I BAR
Serrated Type I Bar Grating
The bearing bar comes in the form of an
I-Section with the top surface formed by a
series of notches. In addition to its high
strength and light weight, this type of grating
also has non-slip characteristics. Serrations are
rolled on to meet strict health and safety
requirements and contain sharp edges. Hot
rolled serrations helps stop lacerations if
someone falls on the grating.

Expanded Metal
Expanded metal is an economical and versatile material which
can be used for enclosure, protection, support and decoration.
In the expanding process, expanded metal is made from a solid
single sheet metal which is slit and stretched longitudinally.
There is no weld or join in it, therefore loads are evenly
distributed over a wide area.
The strands and knuckles form a uniform angle, which adds
more strength and rigidity, even if one or more points are cut,
the intersections of strand still can support the loads.
Clear Span
Nominal Span
25mm
min
MINIMUM SUPPORT DIMENSION 25mm
Expanded metal plates are not perfectly square.
Maximum out of a square along edge is 5mm per
1000mm of length or 10mm on diagonals per
square meter. Sheet must be resquared by shearing
each side of the edge.
Note: For uniformly distributed load other than 100kg/m
2
(1kPA) mesh stress and deflection can be calculated using the factor shown in the following table.
