Hey all,
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that provides load tables for checkered plates rated to support vehicles? NBCC prescribes pretty high loading and I've only been able to get thick heavy duty grating to work. Client wants checkered plate to avoid people losing keys and to keep the smell down.
Further, would it be acceptable to reduce the specified load by say half to account for the fact that the plate physically cannot be loaded by more than one wheel at a time (so half is conservative) due to its size?
