GRATE-FAST INSTALLATION IS FASTER: Grate-Fast is a new product that substitutes for labor intensive methods. It improves the engineering integrity of the fastening process while reducing application costs.

GRATE-FAST IS BETTER: It is secure, adjustable, removable and can be relocated. The clamp remains horizontal throughout the assembly sequence. It is sturdy and fits all common sizes of beams and grating. All three component parts are galvanized.

GRATE-FAST IS ECONOMICAL: It requires only one worker. It is a standard pre-assembled product. It needs no power tools or welding equipment.

CUSTOMERS'  REACTION TO GRATE-FAST

"We budgeted 3 days for grating installation, we put it all down in an afternoon - went pretty slick."

" Only required one person to fasten grating and saved 50% of the normal installation costs."

"Saved about 60 cents per square foot on installation costs."
Step 1 - Position the pre-assembled Grate-Fast with the body between the grating bars and the nose pointing towards the steelwork. The arrows on the top hat bracket should also be pointing towards the supporting steelwork and the bracket itself resting on the bearing bars.
 
Step 2 - Slide the Grate-Fast towards the steelwork until the nose fits under the beam flange. Where necessary adjust the body/screw to the approximate flange thickness/grating depth.

Step 3 - Tighten the capscrew using the hexagon key. The Grate-Fast body casting will automatically rotate until it locks under the bearing bar, with the nose under the flange. Continue tightening to the recommended torque. Grate-Fast is now securely in position.
