KVB Projects’ High Load Capacity Moulded FRP Gratings are designed for areas that experience extreme mechanical stress — from forklifts and heavy machinery to service vehicles and high-traffic platforms. Manufactured through a precision moulding process using premium fiberglass rovings and high-strength resin systems, these gratings offer exceptional load-bearing performance while maintaining all the corrosion-resistant advantages of standard FRP systems.
They are the ideal solution for industrial flooring, trench covers, and loading areas that require maximum strength, long service life, and minimal maintenance — even under heavy dynamic loads.
Key Features
- High load capacity: supports vehicular and heavy equipment traffic.
- Corrosion and impact resistant: ideal for chemical and marine exposure.
- Lightweight alternative to steel: easier handling and installation.
- Non-conductive and fire retardant: enhances workplace safety.
- Long service life: no rusting, painting, or galvanising required.
- Anti-slip surface: gritted top provides traction in wet or oily areas.
- Custom fabrication: panels can be cut and reinforced for specific load ratings.
Applications
- Vehicular Access Platforms & Driveways – withstands forklift and truck loading.
- Industrial Flooring & Heavy Equipment Areas – supports machinery and transport carts.
- Trench Covers & Cable Trenches – easy to remove and corrosion-free.
- Offshore Platforms & Marine Decks – high strength with saltwater resistance.
- Power & Mining Plants – safe, non-conductive flooring under high stress.
- Loading Bays & Tank Farms – robust and long-lasting flooring solutions.

The designer should not exceed MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED load at any time. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED load represents a 5:1 factor of safety on ULTIMATE CAPACITY.
ULTIMATE CAPACITY represents a complete and total failure of the grating.
Walking loads, typically 2.4 KN/m2, is recommended for pedestrian traffic. Deflections for workers comfort are typicall limited to 9mm or SPAN divided by 120 under full live load. For a firmer feel under full live load or a 3.6 KN/m2 load, limit deflection to 6 mm or span divided by 200.
The allowable loads are for static load conditions at ambient temperatures. Allowable loads for impact or dynamic loads should be a maximum of one-half the value shown.
Long term loads will result in added deflection due to creep in the material and will also require higher safety factors to ensure acceptable performance.
