Anti-Slip Gratings

Anti-slip gratings are strongly recommended for areas where oils, grease, dirt or ice may accumulate.

Their use is invaluable and often compulsory in many areas. The non-slip properties are improved by simply putting various recesses in the bearing and/or supporting bars and so complying with the “Regulation of Anti-Slip Properties” DIN 51130. The procedure in accordance with this standard serves as a performance test for the identification and evaluation of anti-slip properties of floor surfaces. Its use in certain situations would decrease the risk of slipping e.g. working and other areas in which working or manufacturing processes involve slippery substances which fall to the ground such as oil, grease, water, foodstuffs, dust or organic waste.

 

Gratings, carrier bar, support bar.

Equivalent to antislip standard R 10.


Gratings, support bar moulded.
Equivalent to antislip standard R10 / V10,

which can be used in the most application areas as an R11 standard.


Gratings, carrier bar and support bar moulded.

Equivalent to antislip standard R 11/R 12.

Neuhaus HighSolid Anti-Slip Gratings have been tested and certified according to R12 test standards by the German BG Institut. They can be applied within an angle of up to 35°.

Inclined walkways between 6 ° and 24 °. (Extract from DIN 31 001)

It is recommended that inclined walkways on conveyor systems or similar installations with a tilt angle of up to 6 ° should be equipped with standard gratings. Inclined walkways of 6 ° to 10 ° should be equipped with anti-skid gratings. With an inclination of 10 ° to 24 ° the inclined area should bridged over using steps. The size and distance of the stairtreads are to be adapted to the required step dimensions.

 

 

Assessment of slip-resistance test (extract from DIN 51 130)

The temperature in the testing area and the temperature of footwear, lubricants and surface to be tested must be 23 (+ 5) ° C. Before the tests, 100 (+ 1) ml of the lubricant is distributed evenly with a brush on the surface to be tested.  The soles of the shoe are also lubricated.  The test operator is standing upright, looking ‘downhill’ and moves to and fro with steps that are as long as the length of the shoe. The ramp sliperiness meter will increase the angle at a rate of no more than 1° per second. . The angle in which the operator reaches the limit of security is noted. The critical angle is determined by averaging several tests, done by two test operators.
