  • GRATE SYSTEM HAVING MULTIPLE BEARING BARS
    Publication number: 20230114780
    Abstract: A larger clear span grating system incorporating pairs of bearing bars spaced apart from other pairs of bearing bars by intervening swaged bars. The pairs of bearing bars are spaced apart but immediately adjacent each other relative to the swaged bars. The pair of bearing bars have a height that is greater than the intervening swaged bars. This configuration allows the present grating system to extend across large gaps in a support structure than what was previously taught by other grating systems or assemblies.
