Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from bolt-down grates
No Rattle, No Lift
Bolting the grate to its frame eliminates the rattle and traffic-induced lift that plagues drop-in grates under buses, forklifts, and heavy pedestrian flow.
Rated For Your Traffic
We size the bearing bars and frame to your actual load case, pedestrian, light vehicle, forklift, or heavy traffic, not a generic catalogue stock size.
Galvanized For The Long Haul
Hot-dip galvanizing or powder-coat protects the grate and fasteners against road salt, standing water, and outdoor exposure so the bolts back out clean years later.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your bolt-down grates with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Bolt-Down Grates
Bolt-down grates are locking grates that fasten directly to the channel or frame with tamper-resistant hardware, so they can't rattle loose, lift under traffic, or be pulled for scrap or unauthorized access, fabricated to your exact opening and frame. We build them in mild/structural steel or hot-dip galvanized for transit platforms, utility vaults, and high-traffic public sites, with hidden or security fastener options and the load rating your application calls for. Made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
- 01 Send your inquiry, drawings, photos, or a description of what you need.
- 02 We come measure and assess the site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your bolt-down grates to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.
