Sioux Chief 865-ghc Slotted Trench Drain Grate 33000 Lb

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 865-ghc is a slotted trench drain grate engineered for high-load drainage applications in commercial and industrial environments. Manufactured from glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene, this grate handles a maximum load of 33,000 pounds while resisting corrosion and chemical exposure. At 36 inches long and 6 inches wide, it covers standard trench drain channels and provides 56.3 square inches of open surface area for efficient water flow. Licensed plumbers and drainage contractors specify this grate where heavy equipment traffic or vehicle loads are present alongside open trench drainage.

The 865-ghc fits trench drain installations in warehouse floors, loading docks, commercial kitchens, parking structures, and industrial facilities where high load ratings are required. Its slotted profile channels surface water quickly into the drain body below. The glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene construction makes it suitable for environments where metal grates would corrode or add unnecessary weight during installation. It is part of the SIOUX CHIEF 865 Series trench drain system.
