Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd proudly introduces our Expanded Metal Walkway Grating for Oil Platform Anti Slip 4mm Thick Galvanized Steel. As a professional manufacturer with a factory area of 5,000-10,000 square meters and over 50 experienced employees, we are dedicated to producing high-quality industrial metal products that meet the rigorous demands of offshore and onshore operations. This grating is engineered to deliver exceptional durability, reliable anti-slip performance, and long-term corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for oil platforms, refineries, marine decks, and other demanding environments. With a 4mm thick galvanized steel structure, our walkway grating provides robust load-bearing capacity while maintaining a lightweight and easy-to-install profile.
Our expanded metal grating is manufactured using advanced pressing and expansion techniques, creating a uniform diamond mesh that offers superior traction under wet, oily, or muddy conditions. The hot-dip galvanized surface ensures excellent protection against rust, saltwater corrosion, and harsh weather, significantly extending the service life of the grating. Whether you need standard panels or custom-cut sizes, our factory supports flexible customization to match your project requirements.

The expanded metal process starts with a solid sheet of steel that is simultaneously slit and stretched to form a mesh of diamond-shaped openings. This method not only preserves the original strength of the metal but also adds rigidity through the work-hardening effect. The result is a walkway grating that can withstand heavy foot traffic, equipment loads, and impact forces without deformation. Our 4mm thickness offers an excellent balance between strength and economy, making it a trusted choice for oil and gas projects around the world.
For oil platform applications, safety is the top priority. Our anti-slip grating is designed to meet the demanding requirements of offshore environments, where water, oil, and chemicals often create slippery conditions. The expanded mesh provides multiple contact points for footwear, significantly reducing the risk of falls. Additionally, the open design prevents the accumulation of water or debris, ensuring a cleaner and safer walking surface.

Our grating can be supplied in standard panels or cut to specific dimensions. We also offer options such as serrated edges, flat bar borders, and special tie-wire or clip fixing systems to suit different installation methods. Please contact us with your detailed drawings or load requirements, and our engineering team will help you select the most suitable configuration.
Maintenance and Care Thanks to the hot-dip galvanized coating, this walkway grating requires minimal maintenance. The zinc layer sacrifices itself to protect the steel, and with proper installation, it can offer decades of service life in atmospheric environments. For offshore applications, regular cleaning with fresh water can further extend the product's durability. Should the coating be damaged during installation, simple zinc-rich paint repair can restore protection.

We provide professional sales support to answer technical questions, offer sample panels for testing, and supply customized solutions for complex projects. Our experienced team can also assist with packaging to prevent damage in transit, using wooden pallets, steel crates, or sea-worthy bundles.
With our strong production capacity and global shipping network, we are able to fulfill both large-scale projects and small custom orders with the same level of attention and care. Our goal is to become a long-term partner for your procurement needs, delivering value, safety, and reliability in every shipment.
