MEISER has its own slitting plants, wire drawing devices and cold rolling centres. We are therefore able to design a grating exactly
in accordance with the requirements and wishes of our customers. Here, oversizing makes little sense, while undersizing must be
avoided under all circumstances. The ideal combination of material thickness and height, associated with the matching steel quality,
ensures the greatest possible economic benefits. That is our aspiration - not more and not less. We would like to explain the best-
known versions to you below:

Galvanising Plant
at Schmelz-Limbach
With the commissioning of the new hot dip galvanising plant

we began a new chapter in the summer of 2011. Hot dip gal-
vanising is the last but an important step in the production
of the grating and guarantees the long-term corrosion pro-
tection of MEISER products without any special maintenance
measures. Our new building combines attractive industrial
architecture with state-of-the-art technology. The environment
and the employees benefit from pollutant-free operations and
exemplary working conditions, which in no way resemble the
conventional image of a galvanising plant. Behind the beautiful
facade, many areas of the building accommodate automated
processes which ensure the highest possible level of efficiency
and quality.
Each individual grating is loaded according to schedule into

the galvanisation process and can be tracked from the time it is
hung up on the cross member to when it is taken down on the
lifting and lowering stations. There is therefore no danger that
grating will get „lost“ in the galvanising process. Chemical pre-
treatment, an environmentally sensitive process, is performed
in a fully enclosed area which passes the emissions produced
through an extraction system to a filter system, so that our envi-
ronment is not polluted in any way. Using a very powerful dryer,
we produce very clean and preheated surfaces before the gal-
vanising process. This also has a very positive effect on the
consumption of zinc and the surface quality. Zinc is a valuable
raw material which has to be handled with care.
Plauen Galvanising Plant
The Plauen Galvanising Plant („Verzinkerei Plauen“) has be-

longed to MEISER for some years now and enables us to also
offer quality from a single source in the Vogtland region. Ori-
ginally designed as a galvanising plant for steel components
and locksmith‘s products, after the reunification of Germany
a major conversion was carried out with the focus on scaffol-
ding, which was pushed through by the then operator Thyssen
Hünebeck.
Subsequently the focus has increasingly been on MEISER pro-

ducts, which make up more and more of the product range in
Plauen. With the takeover of all of the shares in the galvanising
plant in Plauen, this became an integral part of MEISER in the
Vogtland. Today the production is dominated by grating, sheet
metal profile grating, staircase systems and special profiles.

Surface refinement
MEISER grating is characterised by durability and high quality.
This crucially depends on the correct surface treatment. In this
respect we offer our customers numerous possibilities - be this
with the focus on functionality or aesthetics. For the selection
of the surface treatment there are various factors which are de-
cisive: the personal preferences of our customer, their budget
and questions of corrosion protection.
Hot dip galvanising
MEISER grating manufactured from mild steel is usually hot dip

galvanised. In our new plant, which we put into operation in
2011, this is carried out in accordance with the specifications
of DIN EN ISO 1461. State-of-the-art galvanising and environ-
mental technology guarantee long-term corrosion protection
which is able to withstand the usual mechanical and chemical
stresses without problems.
Powder coating
If you would like to have your grating supplied in various colours,

powder coating is the least expensive and most durable soluti-
on. In this process the grating is initially degreased in immersion
baths, pickled and zinc-phosphated. Then the powder coating
material is applied electrostatically and baked at approximately
180° C.
Particularly durable corrosion protection is offered by the

MEISER DUPLEX coating, which consists of hot dip galvanising
with subsequent powder coating. The powder coating is availab-
le in all possible RAL colours in various degrees of gloss and sur-
face structures. Moreover, we are able to provide the necessary
layer thicknesses for all feasible applications from C1 to C5-M.
Pickling (high-grade steel)
MEISER high-grade steel grating is usually pickled after produc-

tion, as during manufacture the welding process results in sca-
le and discolouration, which in turn represent potential points
of attack for corrosion. In the pickling process the grating is
immersed in a pickling bath, as a result of which they are provi-
ded with a metallically pure and protected surface.
Intro-

17
Electro-chemical-polishing (high-grade steel)
The electropolishing process represents a reversal of the

electroplating process. Under the influence of direct current,
metal is removed in an electrolyte from the anodic surface of
the workpiece. The result is smooth and shiny surfaces which
display a high level of corrosion resistance and is very easy to
clean.
Glass bead blasting
Through the use of glass beads as blasting material, MEISER

grating made of chrome steel and aluminium are further re-
fined. Blasting techniques serve to specifically create matt or
semi-gloss surfaces and to cover surface defects in the ma-
terial. The resulting semi-gloss effect is permanently retained.
The surface is cleaned of adhesive foreign particles and also
strengthened, as a result of which its durability may be pro-
longed.
Anodising (aluminium)
MEISER grating made of aluminium is anodised as standard in

order to prevent oxidation. In the anodising process, which as a
rule is carried out in an immersion bath, the material is initially
degreased and pickled before the actual anodising process is
performed. Here, the chemical process of electrolysis is used,
with an oxidised protective layer being created on the alumi-
nium. This can be coloured if the natural aluminium colour is
not desired.
Cathodic immersion bath coating (CDC)
CDC is a good combination of corrosion protection, quality,

cost-effective and environmental friendly. Corrosion protection
that offers good resistance to mechanical and chemical stress.
The underlying physical principle in electro-coating consists in
attracting materials with opposite charges and producing very
good adhesion as a result.
Before the coating process a direct current is applied to the

workpiece, which is subsequently immersed in a coating bath
with oppositely charged coating particles. In order to achieve
maximum resistance of the coating, the film subsequently har-
dens at approximately 180° Celsius in the baking oven. Vario-
us layer thicknesses are possible, although the colour selec-
tion is limited.

MEISER Press Locked Grating

The press locked grating is the most commonly used type of
grating in many European countries today. Thanks to a produc-
tion technology which differs significantly from that used for
the press welded grating, and which enables a much greater
500 to
variety of products, this type of grating provides for an almost
unlimited number of applications. Its design allows for great
flexibility regarding the mesh size and the height and thickness
of the bearing bars. In combination with the variety of mate-
rials from which press locked grating can be manufactured,
we produce grating that are exactly in line with the customer‘s
wishes and the intended use. We do not claim that the press
locked grating is the better grating, but it is certainly the more
attractive and individually customised grating compared to the
press welded grating.
For a press locked grating, the cross bars – which as a rule are
made of cold-rolled flat steel – are pressed into the previously
punched-out bearing bars. The banding bars are designed as
T-shaped or flat sections, and are attached by means of auto-
matic resistance welding. If there is an increased risk of slip-
ping, press locked grating can be manufactured in an anti-skid
design. For this, the bearing and/or cross bars are notched on
the upper side. With press locked grating, the opposite end
meshes are usually of equal size. But here, too, applies what
has been said above: there is almost no limit to the imaginable
uses and designs of press locked grating.

Full Grating
Full grating bear this name because the bearing and cross
bars have the same cross-section and are therefore of equal
height. A bearing bar is one whose ends are both supported
and whose underside is not slotted. The advantage compared
to the normal press locked grating is its improved screening
and the attractive design.

Louvre Grating
Less transparency is sometimes what is required. In these
cases the louvre grating is used. There are a large number of
applications, which are not restricted only to floor coverings in
the case of bridges, walkways and crossovers. As a sun shield
or cladding element, the louvre grating is also used in the case
of ventilation grilles, facades and suspended ceilings.
MEISER offers louvre grating in steel, aluminium and high-

grade steel. The cross bars can be pressed in at an angle of
15°, 30° or 45°, so that varying degrees of transparency can
be achieved. Please note in your planning that for this type of
2 mm 3 mm grating we are only able to produce cross bar lengths of up to

Full Press Locked Louvre Grating

This special design of the louvre grating combines the techni-
cal properties of a conventional press locked grating and full
grating with the attractive design of a louvre grating. The full
press locked louvre grating is particularly suitable not only as
facade cladding, but also as a crossover or walkway covering
due to its static advantages.
The angle of the cross bars can be freely selected in this ver-
sion. The load-bearing capacity of the full press locked louvre
grating benefits from the very small punch depth of the bearing
bars, which is only 10 mm. MEISER offers the full press locked
louvre grating in steel, aluminium and high-grade steel. A not-
ching in the bearing bars is possible, so that this version also
offers a high level of slip resistance. Please note in your plan-
ning that for this type of grating we can only produce cross bar
lengths up to 1,250 mm.

Patent Grating
The MEISER patent grating is produced with a patented punch

press connection, surrounded with a U-shaped section and hot
dip galvanised. The V-shaped cross bars produce a high de-
gree of stiffness and an outstanding wiping effect.
The patent grating is therefore primarily used as a high-quality

boot scraper and an extremely stable and resilient light well
grating. A suitable angle frame with punched wall anchors can
be supplied upon request.
The patent grating is produced exclusively by MEISER.

MEISER Shelf Grating

MEISER shelf grating offers decisive advantages within logi-
stics systems compared to other shelf coverings. In addition to
their durability, they are above all permeable to light and water.
This is a key feature when sprinkler systems are used. The high
degree of transparency of the grating means that plenty of light
is able to enter, thus providing high brightness levels in the logi-
stics system; moreover, the items stored on the shelves can be
identified from below.
Ingenious detailed solutions mean that the grating is easily

installed and offers the additional integrated benefits. On the
following pages we present our solutions, which have been
developed together with the leading suppliers of logistics
systems.

This grating has a raised edge surround, albeit only at the ends

the shelves are subjected to excessive loads.
Grating for Double Shelves
This shelf grating element consists of two grating panels which

are connected by a U-shaped section in the central area of
the rests to form a unit. This creates a continuous connection
across the double shelves, with the full shelf height being re-
tained.

Finned Grating
MEISER finned grating stands out considerably compared to a
classical grating. The function of the cross bar is taken over in
this version by a pipe that is inserted centrally in the bearing
bars. This provides the finned grating with a very high-quality
appearance, although this is less suitable for larger span
widths.
In normal cases the finned grating is not provided with a sur-

round, particularly in order not to disrupt the very clear design.
Finned grating is often used as a high-quality ventilation co-
ver for use indoors. To this purpose they can be manufactured
from aluminium and high-grade steel, or of course in the clas-
sical version of hot dip galvanised steel. They can be further
adapted to individual requirements through the use of special
bearing bar profiles and different pipe diameters.

Some locations such as swimming baths are places where
shoes are not usually worn. Here, a grating can be very useful.
For this reason we have developed a grating which is also plea-
sant when walked on barefoot. The cross bar is a U-shaped
section that is pressed in at a flat angle. The clearance between
these treads is approximately 9 mm. They are manufactured
from steel or high-grade steel.

Comb Grating
MEISER comb grating is a press locked grating with cross bars
which protrude above the top surface of the bearing bars. This
makes the bearing bars almost invisible, so that the grating no
longer looks like a grille, but more like a comb. The emphasis
on the cross bars produces a very elegant and light appea-
rance. The clearance and number of bearing bars can be va-
ried and are adapted to the static requirements. There are also
several possible variations for the clearance of the cross bars.
MEISER comb grating can have a variety of uses, although their

main application is usually where there are high aesthetical
demands on appearance. This grating is therefore frequently li n ear shape
found as a covering indoors, e.g. for air conditioning systems
and heating ducts, but also as a high-quality channel grate and
facade cladding in order to emphasise horizontal or vertical
Special
lines. Grating
The special arrangement of the bearing and cross bars means
that they can also be readily used as sun shade elements. Like
the finned grating, the comb grating can also be produced with
different materials and surfaces; furthermore, special profiles
can be used as the cross bar for this special grating in order to
provide particularly attractive effects.

The MEISER Tolsun is a designer grating produced exclusively

by MEISER. Developed by our French colleagues, the name ex-
presses one of its important advantages, namely sun shielding.
Specially profiled aluminium fins, which are modelled on the

wings of an aeroplane, serve as cross bars and give the Tolsun
a special aesthetic touch. As a facade element, the Tolsun gu-
arantees excellent sun shielding, but nevertheless a natural air
supply as well, and thereby makes a significant contribution to
an all-round air-conditioning system and high levels of thermal
comfort.
MEISER offers the Tolsun with a well thought-out idea for the
means of attachment as an all-round solution for the design
of the facade with an air conditioning effect. The Tolsun is an
architecturally appealing and very high-quality product. The
lightweight design and the possibility of producing one-part
and large-surface elements provide good value for money. The
MEISER Tolsun is only available in aluminium, but can be custo-
mised to your individual needs by colour anodising or colour
coating.

MEISER fence grating is fundamentally a grating with special

edge surrounds. Depending on the purpose of the fence, the
design can be very light and transparent, but also very stable
and close-meshed, e.g. as a crowd barrier at events.
The fence height and field size can be individually selected,

as can the material of the fence and the surface design. As
a rule, the fence elements are enclosed with a flat bar, which
contains slotted holes for easy mounting to the fence posts.

Press locked grating treads can be produced from mild steel, high-
grade steel and aluminium. They are produced in accordance with
the same principle as for press locked grating. It is possible to
provide these stair treads with anti-skid-properties up to R13 by in-
cluding special notches on the bearing bars and cross bars. Even
very large tread widths can be produced by designing the bearing
bars in the same way as heavy duty grating. Thus it is possible for
even extreme loads to be reliably absorbed.

Press welded grating treads can be produced from mild steel
and high-grade steel. Here too, production is based on the pro-
cess used for the manufacture of press welded grating. It is pos-
sible to provide this tread design with anti-skid-properties up to
R12.
Endplates
For standard stair treads, the safety endplate with bead is ge-
nerally used. However, upon request a special endplate with
a different drill-hole size can be attached. From a bearing bar
height of 50 x 3 mm upwards the drill-hole size should be co-
ordinated in all cases in order to avoid installation problems.

with safety nosing
Raised safety nosing

For the purposes of slip resistance and in order to increase
their load-bearing capacity, stair treads are provided on the
front edge with a perforated, specially shaped angle section.
This so-called nosing is welded together with the endplate and
the bearing bar and contributes to reinforcing the stair tread. It
can also be produced from non-slip steel flooring or checker Stair
plate. We comply with specific customer wishes as well as Treads
with deviating foreign standards.
Safety nosing 70 mm
In the case of publicly accessible staircases, regulations are

increasingly specifying a maximum clearance of 120 mm bet-
ween the treads. We have taken this specification into account
with a 70 mm-high nosing and therefore fulfil ÖNORM B 5371,
which in the case of pitches of up to 190 mm permits a maxi-
mum step-through height of 120 mm.

FIXING CLIPS
MEISER grating fixing clips are an important part of our service. The grating
can only fulfil its function properly if it is correctly attached, as otherwise
accidents can quickly happen. MEISER has the proper fixing clip for every
application, from the simple standard clamp to the customised individual
solution MEISER produces many clamps itself, but also works together with
well-known fastening specialists.
Together with the HILTI company, the XMGR clamp has been developed,
which is insensitive to vibrations and offers enormous installation advan-
tages. On the following pages we show you the most common safety sy-
stems, which in most cases represent a good and low-cost solution.

Staircases
MEISER staircases are almost always manufactured on the ba-
sis of a request from a customer and often make a significant
contribution to the aesthetic appearance of a building. In ad-
dition, a MEISER staircase must of course also reliably fulfil its
function and satisfy statutory requirements to a level of 100 %.
This is easier said than done, as the specifications of the DIN
standards, German statutory accident insurance, German ac-
cident prevention regulations etc. are very extensive and differ
from state to state, also within Germany.
But you can rely on MEISER, because we know exactly which

regulations are in force, so that you do not experience a nasty
surprise during the acceptance test. MEISER staircases can
be constructed in a straight or winding version, with the spi-
ral staircase being a particularly appealing challenge for MEI-
SER. Ultimately it is personal taste, the space available and the
budget which determine the design that is selected. We will be
pleased to advise you and also carry out the measurements
on site.

Profile Grating
MEISER sheet metal profile grating is an alternative to standard Product
Range
MEISER grating, especially when large span widths have to be
bridged or a more closed surface is required. The special em-
bossing and perforation of the surface ensure very high levels
of slip resistance. Everywhere in industry where work is carried
out with glide-enhancing substances, sheet metal profile grating
is a good choice.
The possibility of producing elements of up to a length of 6,50

metres ensures fast installation, which is further accelerated
with innovative fixing clips that we have developed ourselves.
For indoor applications it is also possible to use sheet metal
profile grating consisting of sendzimir-galvanised steel strip.
This results in a significant cost advantage. One special field
is non-flammable sheet metal profile grating. This version has
been tested and certified by the MFPA (Material Research and
Testing Institute) and is suitable, for example, as a transformer
tray covering.

Galvanised strip/barrel hoop

In our strip galvanising plant, the steel strip that we have previ-
ously slit is galvanised in the continuous process. We speciali-
se in the galvanising of narrow strips with a galvanised edge.
Various zinc coatings are possible, as are different packing
sizes. We supply galvanised slit coil from 19 x 1.3 to 90 x 5
mm, as coil goods or in bars. Our specialities include earthing
straps and their further processing into barrel hoops.
Vineyard fence posts

The use of machinery and the optimisation of working routines
in vineyards are becoming increasingly important. Specifically
for the use of harvesters, MEISER offers a vineyard fence post
system together with the distribution partner artos. It consists
of fence posts with hooks located on the inside or outside, as
well as restraining posts, which together guarantee optimum
covering. Exactly how this works can be seen at www.artos-
weinbergpfahl.de.
Fall protection mats and spot-

welded wire meshes
The possible uses for spot-welded wire meshes are very varied.
They represent a convenient solution for securing specific are-
as or plants. They are fastened on site or together with prefa-
bricated posts. The wire meshes consist of steel wires welded
together crosswise whose diameter - depending on the load
situation - is between 3 and 6 mm. The length and width of the
elements can be freely selected within the product range.
In the automotive industry, so-called fall protection mats have

become popular as a sophisticated solution for securing and
inspecting production lines. MEISER delivers for all major car
manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, in accor-
dance with the standards in force in each case.

The requirements of RAL GZ 638, September 2008 edition, are

complied with (deflection f < l/300 and < 0.6 cm).
Selection instructions: If there is no clear assignment of indus-

trial or fire exit staircases, the values for industrial staircases
should always be used.
For intermediate sizes (e.g. tread length 835 mm – industrial

staircase without slide protection), the next higher tread length
(900 mm) should be taken as the basis of assessment (bea-
ring bar 35 x 2 mm).

For the load of full grating and louvre grating, the stated point loading has to be multiplied by a factor of 0.67.
For the load on grating made of material S355 JR, the maximum load to the left of the black line can be multiplied by 1.5, whereas to
the right of it the value remains the same.
The width between supports is the clear width between the bearings of the grating. The grating landing for grating panels should be
not less than the height of the grating, but always a minimum of 30 mm.
FP is the maximum point loading in kn on the load cube 200 x 200 mm. FV is the maximum uniformly distributed surface load in
kn/m².

Fall protection safety In recent years the issue of the slip resistance of walkable sur-
faces has gained in importance. Wherever work is carried out
with glide-enhancing substances, i.e. where oils, greases and
emulsions are used, there is an increased risk of slipping.

P o i n t e d To o t h S e r r a t i o n S R 1
The pointed tooth serration is used exclusively for press

welded grating. In this form, the bearing bar is provided with
particularly sharp notches by arranging crescent-shaped
recesses continuously next to one another. This significantly
increases the slip-resistant properties of this type of grating.
With this profile it is possible to achieve slip resistance class
R12 with certain mesh widths.
S a w To o t h S l i d e S e r r a t i o n S R 2
Saw tooth slide serration is only possible in the case of

press locked grating and is characterised by the saw
tooth-shaped notching of the bearing bars and/or cross
bars. With this form of slide protection, the maximum slip
resistance class that can be reached is R12. This slide
protection profile forms a basis for other special forms in
accordance with foreign standards (e.g. Danish Railways).
Please contact us about this if required.
Super Slide Serration SR3
Super slide serration is only possible in the case of press

locked grating and is characterised by extremely high levels
of anti-skid-properties. Here, the bearing bars and cross
bars are punched to be particularly sharp-edged. With this
form, the highest resistance class, i.e. R13, can be reached.
This type of serration is used particularly in the food industry
and in areas with high levels of contamination or regular
contact with liquids.
Standard Slide Serration SR4
The standard slide serration is characterised by the semi-

circular notching on the bearing bars and/or cross bars,
with residual webs being left between the notches. This
means that in the case of press locked grating, a slip
resistance class of up to R12 (notching of the bearing
bar and cross bar) and in the case of press welded gra-
ting up to R11 (notching only possible on the bearing bar)
can be achieved. This version is used as the standard gra-
ting in outdoor areas which are regularly frequented and
accessed.

Service
MEISER understands service as offering its customers the gre-

atest possible additional benefits with the punctual delivery
of high-quality products. This begins with our offering you an
extensive planning service. As professionals in the field of gra-
ting, we are able to plan an application faster and better than a
planner who only deals with this topic from time to time or even
for the first time.
A further special attraction for us is solving unusual tasks. We

do not want to reduce your ideas to the possibilities at our dis-
posal, but rather expand our possibilities through the develop-
ment of new solutions. That is why new tasks are not only a
technical challenge to us, but also the opportunity to improve
and develop as a company.
Put us to the test!
Planning / Manufacturing / Assembling
Our offer to you includes the planning, manufacture and, upon

request, assembly and preparation of installation plans — all
under one roof. The continuous development of new products
and the refinement of existing ones for a wide range of applica-
tions enable us to satisfy your requirements. Service is our top
priority. For you this means:
- Advice on design, standards and regulations

- Preparation of assembly and manufacturing drawings
- Development of customer-specific special solutions.
For us, quality assurance is a matter of course. The designs

comply — where necessary — with the latest DIN / EN stan-
dards, the conditions of the German accident prevention regu-
lations and the specifications of the Professional Associations.

External Sales Force

Know how, quality, modern machinery, reliability and the best
possible solutions to problems are the pillars on which our
work is based.
Nevertheless, this is not the most important part of what makes

us successful, but rather our employees, who step up to the
plate every day to give their best on your behalf and position us
successfully in the market.
This applies to everyone in our company - and that makes us

proud. Business is done between people and not between
systems. In order to ensure this in a sustainable manner and
really be able to satisfy your wishes and requirements, the
MEISER company puts its faith in an old, but tried and tested
sales strategy: support from our professional external sales
force on site in your company.
Put your faith in short communication channels and reliable

contact persons who advise you on the basis of their expe-
rience and expertise, highlight possible solutions and will
immediately provide you with assistance in the event that not
everything is running smoothly. In our opinion this is the only
correct way to ensure that your requirements are met.
We will not abandon this course, because it is the way to achie-

ve quality and reliability which begins with the products and
certainly does not end with customer support.

Service and Complaints

Management
The prerequisite for the long-term satisfaction of our customers

is good support - also after their purchase. A well-functioning
service and complaints management system is an important
part of our corporate culture and an essential part of success-
ful and long-term cooperation.
We see it as our task to scrutinise our processes at regular

intervals, initiate preventative measures and optimise our pro-
cesses in order to be able to offer you an optimum service.
However, should something go wrong, the speedy processing

of a complaint and the regular provision of information to our
customers about progress with respect to processing the com-
plaint is a matter of course for our employees.

Quality „made in Germany“
MEISER has for many years focused on Germany as its busi-

ness location. Through the further expansion of our production
location in Limbach and Oelsnitz, MEISER now employs over
1,500 people in Germany. Our products therefore deserve the
designation „Made in Germany“.
However, we use these not only to supply our German custo-

mers, but also to export our products to the whole world. In
response to specific customer wishes, we have already had
our manufacturing processes verified in accordance with DIN
EN 1090-2 Exc 2. As a result, we can in specific cases - and
after prior arrangement with the customer - issue a CE mark for
the products manufactured by MEISER.
E n v i r o n m e n t ( D I N E N 5 0 0 01 )
Every company has to be aware of its responsibility towards

our environment. For MEISER this means the firm anchoring
of this idea in the corporate culture and therefore also in the
minds of our employees. With the introduction of an energy
and environmental management system during the course of
2013, we intend to implement this principle consistently and
embed it in our production process.
As a company that produces in Germany, the highest envi-

ronmental standards in the world already apply to MEISER.
Our production is not associated with any harmful emissions
whatsoever for the environment, and we strictly adhere to
resource-saving production techniques. Our new hot dip gal-
vanising plant is one of the most modern plants in Europe and
no longer has anything in common with many old plants which
are still in operation today. We generate a significant share of
the electricity we need ourselves with our own solar energy sy-
stems and make use of the exhaust heat created by the produc-
tion process for the production of hot water.
We offer our employees a safe, modern and pleasant work-

place. MEISER also understands reliability to mean that our
customers can rely on the fact that we respect and protect our
environment.
