Access over equipment
Catwalks are laid out to cross conveyors, piping, tanks, or production lines without forcing maintenance staff to climb over machinery. The route is set around where people actually need to inspect and service equipment.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from catwalks in Toronto
Open-grating walking decks
Bar grating or expanded metal keeps the walking surface lighter, drains water, and lets debris fall through where a solid plate would collect sludge. Serrated options are used where wet boots or washdown are expected.
Guardrails built in
Handrails, toe boards, mid-rails, ladder gates, and kick plates are detailed with the catwalk frame. Adding those pieces later usually leaves awkward weld-on fixes and blocked service clearances.
Bolted plant sections
Long catwalks are broken into sections that can pass through doors, around machines, and into existing plant rooms. Bolted splices make installation practical without shutting down more of the facility than needed.
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
Your catwalks is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.

Local Context
Catwalks in Toronto
Understanding catwalks
What shapes catwalks for Toronto projects
Toronto catwalks typically centres on tight loading access, underground parking, older building frames, sidewalk traffic, and dense contractor schedules. The Grate Guys treats each request as a practical scoping job: the quote starts with what must be measured, what load or use the part has to survive, and how the fabrication will reach the site.
The Toronto checklist for this product covers rise, run, guard height, landing geometry, anchor points, live load, inspection access, and field installation sequence. That keeps the page tied to a real product and a real local project, with clear constraints, site details, and quote-ready information a buyer can act on.
