Removable bar grating support on rectangular platform.
Removable bar grating support on rectangular platform.
(OP)
Hey,
I'm an old piping designer thrust into steel platforms & ladders. Not a lot of familiarity with grating panels. 2 ft. wide panels stacked across. Specs call for max. unsupported area of 4' x 9', max span 5'-6". In general, I'm assuming this is all fine, just seems odd to have a longitudinal support under every 2nd or 3rd panel. Can anyone shed a little light on me?

How about sharing a little information on the grating?

Or am I misinterpreting your question? if so, please post a schematic drawing of your problem, as I see no need for a longitudinal support...
