usual distortion.
Covers can be supplied in a range of

depths from 30mm (FLP 30) to 55mm
FLP 55).
For particularly slippery conditions a
carborundum surface finish for solid
covers is available.
FLP floor covers and open type
flooring panels have been used
extensively for raised flooring
systems, thus allowing easy access to
services below should the need arise.
Example: FLP 30 is FL 25 + 4.5mm
plate cover.

Rectangular Pattern Mild Steel Open Type Flooring

Our rectangular pattern open steel
grating provides the structural benefits
of strength, light weight and good
stability,
y constructed from mild steel,
y,
load bearing and twisted transverse
bars are joined together by the forge
welding process to produce a grating
which complies with the requirements
of BS4592 Part 1 and is suitable for
many industrial applications.
Load Bearing Bar

A longitudinal load carrying
member of uniform section
spanning between supports.
Pitch
The distance centre-to-centre of
load bearing bars or centre-tocentre of transverse bars.
T ansverse Bar
Tr
A member fixed at right angles to
the load bearing bars to provide
lateral restraint.
Depth
Overall depth of load bearing bars
Binding Bar
A bar or section, of at least equal
thickness to the load bearing bars,
fixed to the edge of a panel,
flush with the top of the load
bearing bars.
Length (Span)
The overall dimension of a flooring
panel measured in a direction
parallel with the load bearing bars.
This dimension is always referred
to as length even if it is shorter
than the width.
Width
The overall dimension of a flooring
panel measured in a direction at
right angles to the load bearing
bars. This dimension is always
referred to as width even if it
exceeds the length.
Effective Span
The clear span between supports.
Standard Range Rectangular Pattern

Four types of standard pattern gratings are
readily available. They are designated by
the pitch (centre spacing) in mms of the
load bearing and transverse bars.
T pe 41/100
Ty

Non Standard Patterns
In addition to the standard range, other
patterns with different pitches can be supplied
subject to availability. Please enquire if you
have a specific requirement outside the
standard range.
Plain and Serrated Load Bearing Bars
Our standard range of gratings with the
special transverse twisted bar provide better
than average slip resistance. Where oily or icy
conditions are likely to be prevalent, then
gratings with serrated edge load bearing bars
can be supplied for improved grip.

Load bearings in 3mm and 5mm thickness and varying depths are available
for each type of grating. See load tables for the range of sections.
Fixing Clips
All gratings should be fixed securely to the
supporting structure using not less than two
clips for each panel. A range of fixing clips are
available to suit particular applications.
Standard Clip FC2 See page 1 for illustration.
Fabrication
Y ur specific requirements are undertaken after submission of our detailed
Yo
drawings for your approval. Our proposals will provide you with the optimum
layout taking account of all requirements for cut-outs, shaping and supporting
steelwork. For ease of installation on site, each fabricated panel is hard stamped
on the binding bar with an erection mark to correspond with our layout drawings.
Safe Load Tables Rectangular Pattern Mild Steel Flooring

2
The table below give the safe Uniformly Distributed Loads in kN/m for mild steel gratings with plain load bearing bars.
For gratings with serrated edge load bearings bars the tabulated loads should be multiplied by 0.75 for 25 mm and
30 mm deep sections and 0.80 for 35 mm and over deep sections.
The loads have been calculated to a maximum stress of 165 N/mm2 and deflections are limited to within 1/200th of the
span or 10 mm whichever is the lesser.
2
Note that loads shown to the right of the blue line are below 5 kN/m which is the minimum design requirement for
2
general duty regular two way pedestrian traffic. #The maximum span for 5 kN/m uniformly distributed load is stated
in the end column for each section.

Mild Steel & Stainless Steel Floor Plate

Durbar raised pattern non-slip mild steel solid floor plate.
This plate may be used for trench covers, platforms, stair landings and
stair treads. The raised leaf pattern, having no enclosures, providess
increased non-slip surface to give firm grip in all directions. For
particularly slippery conditions a carborundum surface finish is
available. Plates of this type are self draining and readily cleaned,
therefore minimising corrosion and ensuring longer life.
Trench covers, which are to be readily removed, are holed for and
supplied complete with standard lifting keys. Where necessary,
y plattes
y,
are cut to clear pipework or other obstructions and are countersun
nk
drilled for securing to steelwork with fixing screws.
Mild Steel Floor Plate is available in 4.5, 6.0, 8.0,10.0 and 12.5mm
base thickness. Primer Painted or Galvanised.

Aluminium Tread Plate

Aluminium tread plate, designed primarily for flooring applications
provides a non-slip, easy clean, hard wearing surface, which has
found extensive use in Industrial, Marine and Transport fields.
Tread plate comes in three popular patterns to suit various
conditions of service and personal preferences. Thickness for
thickness, in a particular material, the load bearing characteristics
of the three patterns, are not significantly different, but a choice
does accommodate factors such as pedestrian comfort, durability,

Companion Step or Ship Type Ladders

This type of ladder provides an improved
means of access over the normal single
run ladder when space is available.
The 65 degree to 75 degree slope is
easier to negotiate than a vertical
or near vertical ladder.
We recommend that the maximum
vertical rise should not exceed
3000mm and the width between
stringers should preferably be between
limits of 450mm and 550mm.
It should be noted that 250mm
minimum foot space should be allowed
from the nose of treads to the wall,
platform face or other obstruction, see
illustration. A top tread should be
provided at floor level, or the platform
can be arranged to run over,
r but the
r,
minimum foot space should still be
maintained. Handrails are necessary on
this type of ladder and should be
provided on both sides without
exception.
Chart giving useful

recommendations
for staircases
This chart gives preferred rise/go dimensions see section
coloured yellow for any given rake of stai
aircase or
ladder and is based on our recommended
d formula:
T ice the rise plus the go = not less than
Tw
n 570mm
nor more than 640mm (550 to 700).
Go is the term used for the horizontal
dimension of a stair or tread.
Rise is the vertical dimension.
Overlap is the amount the nosing
of one tread overlaps the one
below (minimum16mm).
Example: A single flight stair has a rise
of 2600mm and has to comply with a
minimum tread go of 250mm and a
maximum rise of 190mm. From the chart
below we see with a go of 250mm an
acceptable rise will be about 185mm.
This will give 14 equal rises. The stair
will thus have an angle of rake pitch
of 36 36 and will fall within the limits
required for this type of stair. Also the
aggregate of twice the rise plus the go
equals 620mm, close to the optimum
recommended in BS 5395 Part 1.

Spiral Stairs Mild Steel

A spiral staircase suitable for a wide
range of applications from Residential
to Industrial, and complying with the
requirements of BS.5395: Part 2.
A ailable in any diameter,
Av
r rising
r,
clockwise or anti-clockwise to suit
customers requirements. Construction
is based on a tubular centre column
which is fully load bearing and
capable of supporting a landing or
1
floor joists. Treads are set at 22 /2
(16 per circle) and are constructed
from solid Durbar pattern plate
welded to a tubular collar to fit over

the centre core column. Alternative
type treads and landings are available
such as pan type. Landings are
provided to fit existing situations
where details are available or to suit
new applications. Handrails comprise
of a 42.4mm dia. tube supported on
20mm dia. balusters that also serve to
secure the outer extremities of the
treads, and together,
r they form a rigid
r,
construction.
Additional balusters are required for

stairs in residential situations in order
that any gaps do not exceed 100mm.
All parts are prefabricated for easy site
assembly. Spirals of 2.0m diameter or
less require relaxation of Building
Regulations regarding minimum tread
go. The 2.2m diameter spiral will give
800mm clear width of stair when fitted
with an inside handrail to comply with
Building Regulations.

Handrail & Guardrails

General Application
As a general rule, any unprotected edge of a walkway,
y platform,
y,
staircase or other raised area from which a person may fall more than
0.5m must be fitted with a guardrail. Steelway handrails and guardrails
are designed to provide safety and give reassurance for users of
staircases and walkways. They may be of tubular or solid construction
or a combination of both. We supply handrails not only to complement
our staircases. platforms, and other similar structures, but also as
completely independent items to fit customers own equipment or civil
engineering work etc.
All component parts are tailor-made in easy to handle lengths and
clearly marked for assembly on site. Drawings are provided for
customers use where they wish to undertake the site erection
themselves. Alternatively,
y we can provide a speedy and efficient site
y,
installation service.
Design
Our designs follow the recommendation of BS 6399; Part 1, BS 5395
and BS 6180. There are at least two horizontal rails - a top rail
(handrail) and an intermediate rail (knee rail) at approximately midheight. For step (companion) ladders and staircases in close proximity
to, or bounded by a wall, a single handrail only is required with a
minimum clearance for the hand of 75mm** (EEUA recommend
minimum 65mm). If glazed areas occur adjacent to a walkway,
y
y,
platform, balcony or staircase, they should be guarded by a secure
handrail or balustrade.
Wherever possible, handrails should be continuous and follow the
exposed edge of raised platform areas and staircases. Sharp changes of
direction in the vertical plane should be avoided in runs of handrail.
The minimum height of handrails for platforms walkways and landings
is 1.1m above the walking surface; for staircases the handrail height
should be between 0.9m and 1m above the pitch line.
Handrails should terminate in a swept end, either to the wall or to the
knee rail, or return to the standards.
Note: Sharp corners, protrusions and stop ends should be avoided since
these may catch clothing and cause accidents. Return bends (U bends)
should not extend more than 350mm from the centre line of the
standards. At the foot of staircases, U bends should extend to the
point of maximum extension of the stringer.
Loadings
BS 5395: Part 3 recommends the following minimum design imposed
lateral loads that should be used for handrails in industrial situations:
Light duty. Access limited to one person.
0.36 kN/m
General duty. Regular two-way pedestrian traffic.
0.36 kN/m
Heavy duty. High density pedestrian traffic: escape routes. 0.74 kN/m
Potentially crowded areas over 3m wide.
3.00 kN/m
If there is any possibility of vehicular impact, the recommendations in
appendix C of BS 6180 should be followed.
For light access stairs, gangways etc., which are not more than 600mm
wide, a minimum design load of 0.22 kN/m may be used (BS 6399: Part 1).
Protective Tr
T eatments
Steel can be supplied in the following finishes:
i) Self colour.
ii) Red oxide metal primer.
iii) Hot dipped galvanized to BSENISO 1461. Recommended for
exposed or corrosive conditions. Decorative paint finishes can be
applied by the customer on top of galvanized materials, but a
suitable priming system must be used prior to painting.
iv) Nylon/Plastic coated. Not recommended for exposed conditions.
v) Chrome plated, polished and powder coated finishes are
available to special order.
** BS 5395
12
Aluminium alloy and stainless steel do not normally require protective

treatment. However. where additional protection or improved
appearance is thought necessary,
y then aluminium can be anodised
y,
and stainless steel polished.
Note: Some discolouration may occur on Aluminium bends and heat
affected areas when anodised.
Handrails
Tubular and Solid mild steel handrails are available in a range of sizes
Tubular:
26.9 o/d x 3.2mm wall minimum, (1.87kg/m)

42.4 o/d x 3.2mm wall minimum, (3.10 kg/m)
Solid:
25mm dia. solid bar (3.85kg/m)

32mm dia. solid bar (6.31 Kg/m)
Stainless steel handrails are available with ball type standards, but all
welded construction can also be accommodated.
Aluminium tubular handrail is also available on request in a range of
sizes.
Handrail Standards
Tubular and Solid ball type mild steel standards are available in a
variety of types and sizes. For further details, including types of base
fittings, see page 13, 14 & 15. A handrail system may be tubular or
solid, or a combination of both e.g. tubular handrails with solid
standards. However,r,r it is important to select a standard with
adequate ball size to be compatible with the diameter of handrail to
be used, as illustrated below.

Aluminium tubular Standards are also available to complement the
Aluminium tubular handrailing.
Gates and Safety Chains
Where loading access is required for a mezzanine floor,r,r or for
protection across openings at the head of stairs and ladders. we can
supply gates of tubular construction to match the design of adjoining
handrails. Alternatively,
y safety chains can be provided. Chains are
y,
galvanized mild steel, smooth welded to BS4942 and supplied with
hooks, split rings, shackles, eye bolts and snap fasteners as required.
Infill Panels and Mesh Guards
Where a two line system of handrail is preferred or for existing
handrails where the need arises for additional protection, we can
provide infill panels. These panels consist of 50mm sq. welded mesh
constructed from 3.25mm dia. wire with heavy gauge wire frame
surrounds and supplied complete with fixing clips for securing to
handrails.

Handrail Standards
Steelway tubular and solid ball type
standards are made in varying heights
to suit single, double and multi-line
handrails. Balls are drilled to suit
handrails or can be fitted with eyes
for chains. Grub screws are a standard
fitment in balls to secure handrails
against movement.
A full range of available bases

are illustrated on page 15. The type
of base should be chosen with
care to ensure it will be suitable
for attaching to the structure in
question. A larger size of base
is more suitable when fixing to
materials which have a lower
density than steel e.g. concrete,
