Introduction

• The Unistrut Metal Framing system and related
  products have been used in the industrial sector
  for several generations. Currently manufactured
  by Atkore International, Unistrut struts,
  fittings, channels, planks, and other products
  continue to find a home in many types of
  industrial environments. Lets examine the
  Unistrut product line in more detail.

What Is Unistrut?

• In 1924, Charles Attwood invented Unistrut, "the
  original metal framing system." This weldless
  system provided industries with an easily
  adjustable metal framing that quickly came to be
  used by companies across the land.
• Since these early days, the Unistrut line has
  been substantially expanded to include a wide
  array of support system products.

The Unistrut Advantage

• One of the most attractive features of the
  Unistrut Metal Framing system is the ease with
  which it can be assembled and disassembled.
• No welding or drilling equipment is needed to
  secure the materials. The bolts can be tightened
  with a wrench.
• This is a characteristic of many Unistrut
  products.

  assemblers to put together a number of different
  support structures, including but not limited to

  infinitely adjustable channels and four-sided
  incrementally adjustable tubing. These can be
  secured with rivets, bolts, nuts, gravity pins,

United Interlock Grating

• In many industrial environments, it is essential
  to provide safe paths for workers to walk along.
  The United Interlock Plank Grating System does
  just this.
• The United Interlock Plank Grating System is
  composed of durable yet lightweight planks that
  can be laid along many surfaces, including
  catwalks, scaffolding planks, mezzanines, and
  pedestrian ramps.
• Slotted-smooth surface, anti-skid surface, and
  smooth surface planks are available.

Roofwalks Rooftop Walkways

  professionals frequently need to access the roof
  in order to reach important equipment. Roofwalks
  Rooftop Walkways gives them a walking surface
  that keeps them from accidentally damaging the
  roofing.
• Roofwalks Rooftop Walkways are assembled from
  planks that can fit onto virtually any kind of
  roof, including standing seam
  roofs.

  aluminum or galvanized steel.
