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.

Fall Protection Grating

A project in Waterford, Connecticut demonstrated the town’s commitment to the safety of its employees. Nine floor doors from BILCO with fall protection grating were installed at various water treatment stations in the town, which has more than 19,000 residents and sits on the border between the Long Island and Block Island Sounds
