How to choose a heavy-duty grating

  • Traffic: tell us what crosses the drain, such as cars, delivery trucks, forklifts or heavy machinery, and how often.
  • Direction and speed: traffic that turns, brakes or crosses at speed puts more stress on the grating and the frame than slow, straight traffic.
  • Opening pattern: slotted or mesh openings for most yards; narrower openings where people also walk.
  • Fixing: locked or bolted gratings stop them from lifting or rattling under traffic.

If you are unsure, send us the use and we will recommend the right grating. See our light-duty vs heavy-duty guide.

The frame matters as much as the grating

A heavy-duty grating needs a frame that is well anchored into the concrete. Loose or badly bedded frames are the most common reason gratings rattle, crack the surrounding concrete or work loose. Set the frame level with the finished surface, and bed it fully in concrete.

Replacing old or broken gratings

Send us the clear opening, the frame size, the grating thickness and a photo with a tape measure, and we will match a replacement grating, or a grating with a new frame.
