TreadMAX FRP surface technologyTreadMAX™ Non-Skid Surface Technology

Superior Surface Technology
The FRP cover industry’s first multi-directional non-skid surface technology.

    • Integrally manufactured cover deck surface
    • Superior to non-skid tape
    • Exceeds the DCOF requirements set by ANSI A137.1/A326.3

Innovative Strut Channel Nut Fastening SystemInnovative Strut Channel Nut Fastening System

Increased Accessibility
The strut and channel nut connections greatly improves accessibility.

    • Advanced repeatable panel removability
    • Eliminates the use of conventional screws
    • Avoids wallowed out screw holes

Upgraded Operator SafetyUpgraded Operator Safety

Improved Safety Features 
Improved safety with walking surface transitions of 1/4” or less minimizing trip hazards.

    • Tapered end-joint flashing
    • Countersunk fastener heads
    • High strength, pultruded panels

Easy Low Cost InstallationEasy, Low-Cost Installation

Lightweight with Fewer Components
