Geschweißte Gitter sind in Bau, Industrie, Landwirtschaft, Architektur und Gartenbau unverzichtbar. Sie bieten hohe Stabilität, lange Lebensdauer und vielfältige Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Im rotec Profishop finden Sie eine der größten Auswahlen an geschweißten Gittern in Deutschland – sofort ab Lager verfügbar und in zahlreichen Varianten erhältlich.

Unser Shop umfasst über 10.000 Produkte für die Metallverarbeitung. Dazu gehören Schweißgittermatten, Punktschweißgitter und Drahtgittermatten aus Stahl, Edelstahl oder Aluminium – in verschiedenen Maschenweiten, Drahtstärken und Oberflächen.

Was sind geschweißte Gitter?

Geschweißte Gitter bestehen aus metallischen Drähten, die an jedem Kreuzungspunkt punktverschweißt sind. Diese Bauweise sorgt für hohe Formstabilität, Tragfähigkeit und gleichmäßige Maschenweite. Im Gegensatz zu Maschendraht behalten Schweißgitter auch unter hoher Belastung ihre Form.

Egal ob Sie Punktschweißgitter für den Zaunbau, Bewehrungsmatten für den Betonbau oder Edelstahlgitter für Hygienebereiche suchen – im rotec Profishop finden Sie die passende Lösung.

The advantages of GRP gratings for manhole covers

• Corrosion resistance: Unlike steel, GRP gratings are resistant to moisture, road salt and other corrosive influences, making them ideal for outdoor use.
• Non-slip surface: Their specially structured surface ensures a secure grip, even in rain, snow or ice.
• Lightweight: GRP gratings are lighter than traditional materials, which makes installation easier and saves costs in the long term.

Certifications for maximum safety

The EBA approval 21.51-21izbia/034-2101#006-(013/019-ZUL) confirms the suitability of GRP gratings for use in manhole covers. This certification ensures that they meet the high requirements of the railroad infrastructure

2. GRP gratings for track crossings and train washing systems

GRP gratings are ideal for use in track crossings and train washing systems due to their versatility and load-bearing capacity. Both areas of application place particularly high demands on materials.

rotec GmbH Berlin has elevated laser cutting to an art form that offers an impressive range of benefits. From precision and versatility to efficiency and sustainability, the applications of laser cutting are virtually unlimited. With cutting-edge technology and expertise, rotec GmbH helps provide innovative solutions for a wide range of industries.

Track crossings: Safety and resilience

• Non-conductive: GRP gratings offer maximum safety in the vicinity of electrified tracks as they do not conduct electricity.
• High load capacity: They can easily absorb the load from pedestrians and light vehicles.
• Weather resistance: Extreme temperature fluctuations and UV radiation do not affect stability or functionality.

Train washers: chemical resistance and efficiency

• Resistance to chemicals: GRP gratings can withstand aggressive cleaning agents used in train washing systems.
• Easy to clean: Thanks to their smooth surface, they are easy to clean, which reduces maintenance work.
• Longevity: GRP gratings retain their shape and stability even with intensive use.

Practical example: Train washing systems

GRP gratings have proven to be a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution in numerous German train washing systems. Their chemical resistance significantly extends the service life of the systems.

3. GRP ladders: Safe access for maintenance work

Ladders made of GRP profiles are often used in railroad infrastructure to ensure safe access to maintenance facilities.

The most important properties of GRP ladders

• Non-conductivity: They offer maximum protection against current transmission, especially in the vicinity of overhead lines.
• Robustness: GRP gratings are highly resilient and retain their shape even under difficult conditions.
• Maintenance-free: Unlike metal ladders, GRP ladders do not require regular corrosion protection coatings.

4. GRP gratings in train washers: efficiency and safety

Train washing systems are among the most demanding areas of application in railroad infrastructure. GRP gratings are indispensable in this environment.

Advantages of GRP grates in train wash systems

• Chemical resistance: GRP gratings are resistant to the aggressive cleaning agents used daily in train washing systems.
• Slip resistance: The textured surface minimizes the risk of slipping accidents, even in damp conditions.
• Easy maintenance: They are easy to clean and retain their functionality for years.

• Certifications for use

  With the EBA approval 213.3-243izbia/003-2101#015-(022/21-ZUL) GRP gratings meet all requirements for use in maintenance walkways and transitions.

5. GRP safety fences and protective devices

Safety fences along railroad tracks not only serve as a safeguard, but also as protection against accidents. GRP gratings as a fencing material offer decisive advantages.

Why glass fiber reinforced plastic is ideal for fences

• Corrosion resistance: They remain stable and safe even in harsh weather conditions.
• Non-conductive: In the vicinity of electrified track systems, GRP gratings significantly increase safety.
• Simple installation: Their lightweight construction enables quick and cost-effective installation.

6. GRP gratings for transitions and maintenance walkways

Crossings and maintenance walkways play a crucial role in the maintenance of railroad systems. GRP gratings offer a durable and safe solution for these applications.

Advantages of GRP gratings for maintenance walkways

• High load capacity: They can easily carry heavy loads such as tools and machines.
• UV resistance: They retain their stability even in intense sunlight.
• Easy customization: GRP gratings can be flexibly cut to size and adapted on site.

Certifications for use

With the EBA approval 213.3-243izbia/003-2101#015-(022/21-ZUL) GRP gratings meet all requirements for use in maintenance walkways and transitions.

7 Why GRP gratings are the best choice for railroad infrastructure

The advantages of GRP gratings are numerous and convincing. They are not only durable, but also actively contribute to the safety and efficiency of the railroad infrastructure. Whether as shaft covers, safety fences or in train washing systems - GRP gratings set new standards.

Summary of the advantages

• Durability and robustness: GRP gratings withstand extreme loads and environmental influences.
• Security: Their non-conductive properties make them ideal for use in the vicinity of electrical installations.
• Economic efficiency: Thanks to their maintenance-free nature and simple installation, GRP gratings reduce operating costs in the long term.
