Description
This GRP open mesh grating ramp is a durable, slip resistant access solution designed to improve safety on external walkways, loading areas and inclined routes. Manufactured from glass reinforced plastic with an open mesh construction, it provides excellent drainage and grip underfoot, even in wet or contaminated conditions.
Ideal for industrial, commercial and public access areas, the ramp is suitable for retrofitting over existing surfaces such as concrete, timber or steel. Available in a choice of sizes and high-visibility colours, it offers a practical, low-maintenance alternative to metal ramps and can be used to create safer transitions on slopes, approaches and access routes.
Product Features
- Robust GRP (glass reinforced plastic) open mesh grating for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
- Slip resistant surface profile designed to provide secure footing on inclined walkways and ramps.
- Available sizes: 2036mm x 971mm, 3050mm x 971mm and 3660mm x 1220mm to suit a range of ramp lengths and widths.
- Colour options: Green RAL 6029, Yellow RAL 1003 and Grey RAL 7035 for standard, high-visibility or neutral finishes.
- Open mesh design promotes drainage of water, snow and debris, reducing standing water on the ramp surface.
- Corrosion resistant construction, suitable for outdoor use and exposure to moisture and many common chemicals.
- Lightweight compared with steel, helping to simplify handling and installation on site.
Key Features and Benefits
- Improved safety on slopes and access routes thanks to the slip resistant surface and open mesh profile.
- Reduced maintenance costs, as GRP does not rust, rot or require regular painting like traditional metal or timber ramps.
- High-visibility colour options, such as Yellow RAL 1003, help to highlight ramp edges and changes in level for pedestrians.
- Versatile sizing allows the ramp to be adapted for use on platforms, entrances, service yards and plant access areas.
- Comfortable underfoot with a stable, rigid construction that minimises flex, even under frequent pedestrian traffic.
- Suitable for a wide range of environments including industrial, marine, commercial and public access locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this GRP open mesh ramp be used outdoors all year round?
Yes, the GRP construction is weather and corrosion resistant, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation in most climates. The open mesh design also helps to reduce standing water, snow and ice build-up on the surface.
How do I choose between the different sizes available?
Select a size based on the required ramp length, width and the space available on site. The 2036mm x 971mm and 3050mm x 971mm options are suited to narrower walkways, while the 3660mm x 1220mm panel provides a wider ramp for higher footfall or more generous access routes.
Which colour should I use for the best visibility?
Yellow RAL 1003 offers the highest contrast and is often used where maximum visibility is required, such as at entrances or changes in level. Green RAL 6029 and Grey RAL 7035 are popular where a more subtle appearance is preferred while still providing a clearly defined ramp surface.
