Comparative Performance Tables
8-Diamond plank — 18-3/4" width

Note: The data in these tables represents the performance of both side channels ignoring grating surface performance. These values are not to be used for product selection but should be used when comparisons are being made with other products whose published information does not include grating surface performance.

U—uniform load (lb. / ft.²) C—concentrated load (lb.) D—deflection (in.)
