bars are heated and joined
under pressure.

Flowdeck

Flowdeck is half the weight of equal strength chequer plate.
This equates to less tonnage for handling, transportation and
erection than with the equivalent chequer plate, producing overall
cost and weight savings.

Bar Arrangements

Standard Range

Many types of flowforge bar arrangements have been developed

to comply with worldwide application and safety requirements
and allow a customer to choose a flooring to match loading
requirements. In addition, a range of smaller mesh sizes gives the
added safety feature of stopping objects from passing between the
bars and increased areas of underfoot contact.

The basic substructure of Flowdeck is Flowforge Open Steel

Flooring with load bearing bars at 41mm pitch (5mm thick for heavy
duty type) with 6mm transverse bars welded at 100mm centres and
a surface plate of 3mm thick durbar pattern chequer plate welded to
the substructure.
Special Flowdeck flooring can also be designed to suit wheel loadings.

Transverse bar are 6mm twisted square bar, but others are available.
Flowforge is available is standard panel form, normally from stock,
in nominal 6m x 1m lengths. All fabrication is done from these
6m x 1m nominal mats to suit individual requirements.

Heavy Duty Flooring

Diamond Pattern

Flowforge
Redman Fishers range of Heavy Duty
flooring combines all the advantages of
forge welded Flowforge with the extra
load carrying capabilities of a heavyduty floor.

In addition to our rectangular

pattern flooring we can also
supply our range of Safeway
Diamond Pattern flooring in
Mild Steel.

Heavy Duty Flowforge is constructed

from load-bearing bars in various sizes
at 35mm and 41mm pitch with 8mm or
9mm dia. rods forge welded to the upper edges of the load
bearing bars.

This flooring is constructed

of load bars spaced at either
38mm or 20mm separated by
pressed spacer bars welded on
underside at every junction.

Other bar arrangements may be available upon request, dependent

on quantity.

This is a traditionally a strong

and stable flooring which gives
an excellent feeling of complete
security and safety which is
especially important when
working at high levels, but it
also retains the benefits over
solid plate flooring of
transmission of light and air.

Flowgrid
Flowgrid is available with load bearing bars at 50mm pitch with
12mm square bars securely welded to the load bearing bars at
100mm pitch. Other bar arrangements are available on request,
dependant of quantity.

Applications
Diamond Pattern flooring
is particularly suited for:

Flowlok
Aluminium Flooring

Flowgrip
Flowgrip is an extruded
aluminium flooring with a ribbed
pattern giving a slip resistant top
surface. It gives maximum
structural performance under
corrosive conditions and can be
cut to any shape to suit
individual requirements.

Flowlok is designed to give

the maximum structural
performance in corrosive
conditions.
By virtue of its design,
Flowlok is easily cut to shape
without weakening its load
carrying capacity.

Flowgrip has a very high

strength to weight ratio and its
lightweight, maintenance free
qualities have led it to be used
extensively in many areas.

Open aluminium flooring is of a pressure locked construction with

special transverse bars pressed into a retaining notch, within the
load bearing bars giving a locked-secure joint with no
dependence on welding.

Available in two different depths

(40mm deep and 25mm deep),
both with a plain surface,
serrated surface and slotted
plank to assist slip resistant and
drainage if required.
