Grating Clips and Fixings
We make the clips that hold our grating in place, in 316 or 304 stainless steel and galvanised steel, sized to the bar height and mesh of each panel. Order them with the grating and they arrive counted and packed for each area, so no one on site has to source fixings separately.
The right clip depends on how the panel sits on its support. Use the selector below, then check the quantity rule.

Grating type matters. Moulded grating needs clips shaped for its square mesh.Pultruded grating needs clips that follow its straight load bars. Tell us which grating you have and we will send the matching clip.

Choosing the Material
The grating will outlast a clip in the wrong metal. Match the clip to the harshest condition on the platform, not the average one.
Harshest condition on site:
Grade 316
316 Stainless Steel
Chemical plants, wastewater, marine and coastal sites
Corrosion resistanceHighest
Grade 304
304 Stainless Steel
General industrial and indoor areas without chlorides
Corrosion resistanceMedium
Galvanised
Galvanised Carbon Steel
Dry, low-corrosion areas where cost comes first

| Material | Use it for |

Quantity rule
How Many Clips per Panel
Two rules set the base count. Enter your panel to get the number.
1.2 m
One clip every 1.2 m along each support
Count along every support under the panel.
4
Never fewer than four per panel
Add clips at corners, panel joints and anywhere loads, wind or vibration are high.
Example: a 1,220 × 3,660 mm panel resting on four supports needs two clips on each support, one at each edge: eight clips in total.

Installation Points
Four checks that keep the clips tight.
- 01
Tighten to torque, not beyond
Tighten to the recommended torque; over-tightening cracks the bars, especially on pultruded grating.
- 02
Corners and joints first
Fix every corner and every panel joint first, then fill in along the supports.
- 03
Full bearing before clipping
Make sure the panel bears fully on the support before clipping; a rocking panel loosens its clips.
- 04
Recheck on inspection
Recheck tightness during routine inspections and replace damaged clips straight away.
Clips keep working loose? The span is usually too long or the supports are uneven. Fix the cause, not just the clip.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to drill the support steel?
Not with G clips, which clamp onto the beam flange. M clips are bolted through the support, so they need a drilled hole.
Can your clips be used on steel or aluminium grating?
Our clips are sized for our own panels. For other grating, send the bar height and spacing and we will confirm whether a standard clip fits or make one to suit.
