Grating Clamp / Grating Fixing Clip – Supplier in Dubai UAE
Grating Clamps are fastening devices designed to secure steel gratings to supporting beams or frames without the need for welding or drilling. They are manufactured to ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards in carbon steel, stainless steel, and ductile iron. Available in standard, swivel, and heavy-duty types, they provide secure anchoring while allowing easy removal and repositioning. With galvanized, zinc, powder-coated, or stainless finishes, they are highly durable and resistant to corrosion. They are widely used in industrial flooring, walkways, platforms, oil & gas facilities, and maintenance access structures.
A grating clamp fixes steel grating panels to their supporting beams without welding or drilling. The clamp hooks under the flange of the beam, a saddle sits over the bearing bar of the grating, and a bolt pulls the two together. That is the whole mechanism, and it is exactly why contractors specify clamps instead of site welds: panels stay removable, the galvanized coating stays intact, and no hot work permit is needed.
Unifastener Industries LLC manufactures and stocks grating clamps in Umm Al Quwain, UAE, and delivers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider GCC. Most standard sizes ship from stock.
Types we supply
- Standard two-part grating clips (top saddle + bottom hook) for 25 mm to 50 mm bearing bar depth
- Four-part assemblies with M6, M8 or M10 bolt, nut and washer included
- Heavy-duty clamps for platforms carrying wheeled traffic or vibration loads
- Stainless steel sets for coastal and offshore work where zinc coating alone will not last
How to order the right clamp
Three measurements decide the clamp: the bearing bar depth of your grating (25, 30, 40 or 50 mm are the common ones), the flange thickness of the beam it sits on, and whether the panel needs to come out again for cable or duct access. Send us those three details on WhatsApp or through the quote form and we will confirm the correct clip the same working day. If you are not sure of the bearing bar depth, a photo with a tape measure across the panel edge is enough.

FAQ
Q: Which grating clamp do I need for 30 mm grating?
A: A standard two-part clip sized for 30 mm bearing bars. Confirm the beam flange thickness when you enquire so the correct bottom hook is supplied.
Q: Do you stock SS316 grating clips for marine areas?
A: Yes. SS316 sets are stocked for jetty, port and offshore platforms where salt spray corrodes galvanized clips within a few years.
Q: Can grating be fixed without welding?
A: Yes, that is the purpose of a grating clamp. The panel is held between saddle and hook, stays removable, and the galvanized coating is never burned off.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: No fixed minimum for stock sizes. Custom dimensions carry a small production minimum, usually one carton.
