Fall Protection Grating

Product Description

BILCO's fall protection grating system for access doors has been redesigned to offer the same level of protection at a much lower price. New features include a standard powder coat paint finish. Another new feature of our fall protection for access doors is a unique pintle hinge design that allows the grating to open to the full 90 degree position, maximizing the area available for access.
