Built for bar grating that does not follow standard 19 or 15 spacing. The wide rectangular top plate bridges the bearing bars wherever the clip lands, and the toothed grip jaw locks onto the support flange below. Installs from above with a standard wrench, with no welding or drilling.
Request a QuoteMost FastGrate clips install from above with a standard wrench. No welding, no drilling, and no access needed underneath the platform. Once a two-person crew has the routine down, each clip takes about a minute.
Work out how many clips your platform needs or check the selection chart.
| Grating | Bearing bars | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 19-W-4 | ~1-3/16" bearing bar centers (19 bars per section) | General industrial platforms, walkways, and mezzanines |
| 15-W-4 | ~15/16" bearing bar centers (denser than 19 series) | Higher-load platforms and walkways |

Plan on at least four clips per panel, plus one at every intermediate support. That minimum comes from grating manufacturers' installation details. OSHA 1910.22 sets the performance requirement for secure walking-working surfaces rather than a clip count, so follow your grating manufacturer's detail or the engineer of record.
About one minute per clip once a two-person crew has the routine down. There is no welding, so there is no hot work, no grinding and no touch-up of burned coatings.
A standard wrench. The clip installs from above, so the crew does not need access underneath the platform. Galvanized clips use grade 5 carbon steel hardware.
The R CLIPS fits Odd-spaced bar grating, plus 19-W-4 and 15-W-4 steel grating. Sizes: 1" to 1-1/2" bearing bar depth. Send us your bearing bar depth and spacing and we will confirm the right clip.
Mechanically galvanized (ASTM B695) is the standard choice and covers most general industrial work. Choose 304 stainless for washdown and chemical exposure, or 316 stainless for saltwater and chlorides.
