Technical specifications and properties

ROTEC type O2 safety gratings offer a range of impressive technical features:

  • Slip resistance: R13 according to DIN 51130 (inclination >35°)
    Displacement space: V10 according to DIN 51130
    Air flow: 20-25%
    Perforation: D9/5mm
    Standard grating height: 32mm
    Edge banding: Sheet metal 30/3 mm
    These gratings are made of 2 mm thick sheet steel and welded together to form robust grating panels. They offer exceptional stability. The patented surface structure ensures excellent slip resistance and makes them the ideal choice for environments with a high risk of slipping.

Load capacity and safety standards

  • Type O2 safety gratings meet strict load specifications:
       Area load: 2 KN/m²
       Point load: 1.5 KN on 200x200mm
       Norm: DIN EN 14122
    These values ensure high load-bearing capacity and safety, even under extreme conditions.

Versatile areas of application for type "O" safety gratings

The ROTEC safety grating type O2 is particularly suitable for special applications that place high demands on slip resistance and safety. These applications include 

  • Offshore platforms: Due to the high slip resistance class R13, these gratings are ideal for use in maritime environments where moisture and slippery surfaces are common.
  • Substations: The hot-dip galvanized steel gratings offer high resistance to electrical and mechanical loads, which makes them ideal for use in substations.
  • Industrial areas with high moisture exposure: The gratings are ideal for areas where liquids or oils can spill onto the floor, as they offer excellent slip resistance.
  • Public walkways and platforms: The high load-bearing capacity and anti-slip surface make them a safe choice for high-traffic public areas.
  • Stairs and spiral staircases: The safety gratings can be used as steps to provide additional safety in stair areas.
  • These applications benefit from the robust design and versatile adjustment options of ROTEC Type O2 safety gratings, which are characterized by their high static load-bearing capacity and short installation times. 

Variety of materials and surface options

The flexibility of ROTEC type O2 safety gratings is demonstrated by the wide range of materials and surfaces available:
Material options: Steel, stainless steel V2A, stainless steel V4A
Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanized (standard) 
The different surface types enable optimum adaptation to specific requirements, including flame-retardant surfaces for particularly hazardous environments. 

Assembly and installation

A major advantage of ROTEC type O2 safety gratings is their ease of installation:
- Prefabricated grating panels reduce installation time 
- No screwing of individual panels required
- Load transfer through neighboring panels for improved stability

Conclusion

ROTEC type O2 safety gratings with slip resistance class R13 are the ideal solution for demanding industrial and construction applications. Their combination of maximum safety, load-bearing capacity and flexibility makes them an indispensable element in modern industrial and building architecture. With their versatility and numerous customization options, these gratings offer not only safety, but also aesthetic and functional solutions for a wide range of projects.
