How to Install
Our anti-slip walkway and ramp covers are easy to install on any surface: steel and composite grating, steel and aluminum plate, concrete, wood, and more. Find instructions below for the appropriate substrate and method.
Installation With Mechanical Fasteners
Walkway and Ramp Cover Installation Over Grating
Install utilizing universal saddle clip assemblies with slotted truss head bolts, nuts, and lock washers (all stainless steel). The number of saddle clip assemblies is directly influenced by the condition of the grating to be covered. New and good condition (considered flat/level and non-corroded) grating may not require as many saddle clip assemblies.
Walkway and Ramp Cover Installation Over Diamond/Checker Plate
- Self-tapping and self-drilling (Tek) screws
- Rivets
- Low-profile heads, nuts, lock washers, and bolts
Adhesive can be used in lieu of or in conjunction with mechanical fasteners.
Walkway and Ramp Cover Installation Over Concrete
Install using screws and masonry fasteners. Adhesive can be used in lieu of or in conjunction with mechanical fasteners.
Walkway and Ramp Cover Installation Over Wood
Install using 1 ½” standard type screws. Adhesive can be used in lieu of or in conjunction with mechanical fasteners.
ATTENTION: Reduce the speed of your pneumatic air tools to prevent thread galling and bolt snapping while installing saddle clips. We recommend using a Torx screwdriver when installing to avoid head stripping. The use of a thread lubricant is also recommended to reduce heat and assist in the smooth installation of this product.
Installation Using Adhesive
- When using liquid adhesive, please refer to detailed installation and surface preparation instructions. Follow the pattern shown for maximum adhesion when installing over diamond plate, concrete, and wood.
- Minimum adhesive usage shown. Depending on the condition of the substrate, more can be applied or troweled.
Red indicates the pattern to follow when applying liquid adhesive.
Installation Using Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA)
Peel and release liner backing, then press firmly into place.
- Vinyl Walkway and Ramp Cover With PSA
- 1 mm Fiberglass FRP With PSA
Weld-Tab Covers
These heavy-duty anti-slip walkway and ramp covers are manufactured from ⅛” pultruded FRP fiberglass and utilize 4″ x 4″ 316 stainless steel metal tabs attached around the edge of the cover. Weld-tab covers are designed to allow tack-welding directly to the metal/steel substrate. The covers are not recommended to be welded to one another.
