Product overview
How to Specify Steel Grating Drain Covers for RFQs
Drain cover quotation starts from the trench opening, support condition and expected traffic. Clear drawings or marked photos help confirm cover size, bearing direction, frame type and removable panel layout.
QY Metal Tech reviews project drawings, replacement photos, load notes, surface finish and packing sequence so each drain cover panel can match the trench layout and site maintenance requirement.
RFQ Specification Checklist
| Clear opening | Measure trench clear width, overall trench length and cover panel layout. |
|---|---|
| Support ledge | Confirm ledge width, support span, frame seat and whether the cover is frame-supported. |
| Load condition | State pedestrian, cart, forklift, vehicle or maintenance load and any wheel traffic. |
| Bearing direction | Bearing bars should span correctly across supports and be marked on the drawing. |
| Frame and lifting | Angle frame, embedded frame, lifting holes, handles or fixing clips should be listed. |
| Finish and marks | Surface type, galvanizing, drainage exposure, panel marks and packing sequence should be confirmed. |
