Aluminium Grating Manufacturers in India

Arc Engineering is leading Aluminium Grating Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters in India. Aluminium Grating is a lightweight and durable flooring solution designed for areas requiring safe access, ventilation, drainage, and corrosion resistance. Its open-grid construction allows air, light, and liquids to pass through while providing a stable and practical walking surface for industrial and commercial environments.

Arc Engineering is a Pune-based ISO 9001:2015 certified company established in 2002, specializing in high-quality fabrication products and industrial engineering solutions. With 24+ years of manufacturing expertise, we manufacture and export Aluminium Grating and other customized fabrication products for diverse industrial requirements.

Manufactured from suitable aluminium sections, the grating offers a useful combination of strength, low weight, and resistance to environmental exposure. It can be configured according to project-specific requirements, making it suitable for industrial plants, platforms, walkways, drainage areas, access structures, and maintenance applications.

What is Aluminium Grating?

Aluminium Grating is an open-grid structural flooring system made by joining load-bearing bars with cross members to form a rigid and walkable surface. The open design provides effective drainage and ventilation while helping reduce the overall weight of the structure.

It is commonly used for walkways, platforms, stair treads, maintenance areas, trenches, mezzanines, and other locations where a strong yet lightweight flooring arrangement is required. Different bar sizes, spacing patterns, surface configurations, and joining methods can be selected according to the application.

Manufacturing Process of Aluminium Grating

Aluminum grating is manufactured by cutting, aligning, and joining load-bearing aluminum bars and crossbars using mechanical locking, swaging, or pressing techniques rather than welding.

1. Material Preparation and Extrusion

Alloy selection: Manufacturers use high-strength aluminum alloys from the 6000 series (such as 6063-T6 or 6061-T6), which contain magnesium and silicon for durability and corrosion resistance.
Shaping bars: Raw aluminum is pushed through special steel dies via high-temperature extrusion to form rectangular bars, I-bars, or T-bars.
Cutting: Bearing bars and crossbars are cut to the required panel lengths using precision saws.

2. Assembly and Joining Methods

Unlike steel grating (which often uses forge-welding), aluminum grating relies on mechanical locking to protect the material's structural temper:

Swage-Locking: Square or diamond-shaped crossbars are inserted through pre-punched holes in the primary bearing bars, then locked permanently using high hydraulic pressure to deform the crossbars.
Press-Locking: Slotted bearing bars and crossbars are pressed together tightly at high tonnages to form a flush, clean upper surface with high lateral stability.
Riveting: Rivets join straight or crimped connecting bars at intersection points, offering high durability in areas with heavy vibrations.

3. Surface Treatment and Finishing

Surface choice: Tops of bearing bars can be left plain or given a serrated texture to improve slip resistance in wet or oily environments.
Banding: Edge bands or toe plates are attached to the outer perimeters of the panels to seal open ends and increase load distribution.
Finishing: Panels receive a mill finish, clear or colored anodizing, or a protective powder coating to seal the natural oxide layer and prevent corrosion.

Types of Aluminium Grating Manufacturers in India

As we are leading Aluminium Grating Manufacturers in India, our Types are designed to meet different application requirements and industry standards, including the following types:

Swaged Rectangular Grating: Features rectangular bearing bars with crossbars mechanically locked inside them. Its open construction provides effective drainage and a practical self-cleaning surface.
Swaged I-Bar Grating: Uses I-shaped extruded bearing bars designed to provide an efficient strength-to-weight ratio. Its profile can also offer increased surface friction for suitable access applications.
Swaged Flush-Top Grating: Designed with the crossbars positioned flush with the top of the bearing bars. It provides a smoother walking surface and is suitable for pedestrian access areas.
Press-Locked Grating: Manufactured by pressing deep rectangular crossbars into pre-punched bearing bars. The resulting interlocking construction provides good lateral stability and structural integrity.
Dovetail Pressure-Locked Grating: Uses an egg-crate-style configuration with deep crossbars. It can be used for selected architectural applications such as sunshades and facade infill panels.
Riveted Grating: Assembled using riveted connecting bars at the intersections. It can provide durable construction and is suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Serrated Aluminium Grating: Features textured bearing bar surfaces designed to provide additional traction. It can be considered for areas where moisture, oil, or other conditions may affect surface grip.
Plain Aluminium Grating: Features smooth bearing bars and provides a simple open-grid flooring arrangement. It is suitable where standard access, drainage, and ventilation are the primary requirements.
Aluminium Stair Grating: Configured as stair treads for industrial access structures. Its open construction provides a lightweight walking surface while allowing water and debris to pass through.
Custom Aluminium Grating: Can be configured according to required panel dimensions, load conditions, bar spacing, cut-outs, surface profile, and installation requirements for application-specific projects.
