The expanded metal also has a wide range of flooring applications, and is ideal for catwalks, conveyor and access walkways, and platforms. Good examples are walkways on large billboards, which need to ensure safe access to the billboard, as well as maintenance walkways on process plants.
Expanded metal walkways are lightweight and selfcleaning, have non-slip surfaces, interlocks at the joints and, hence, do not have butt welds. It also allows the passage of air and light. Durable industrial flooring with excellent underfoot conditions is possible with expanded metal walkways and flooring from Andrew Mentis.
As a complete industrial flooring supplier, the company can help customers identify the most appropriate flooring solution for their application requirements.
Another one of its products, which is ideal for incline conveyor walkways in particular, is Die-Line. This lightweight and economical walkway system offers flexibility in walkway design, is easy to erect, and has excellent non-slip characteristics.
This range of positive grip-pressed section walkways is designed as complete walkway sections with integral kick plates formed as a single unit. The elimination of heavy stringers or separate kick plates makes Die-Line quick, easy, and safe to erect. The sections are designed for longitudinal spans, and have a high strength-to-mass ratio.
