krafton® 500.35 FRP Bridge Decking Plank

This is a very special model among FRP bridge decking planks. Rather than a bridge decking plank, it is, in fact, a platform plank. These panels are ideal for jetties, boardwalks, terraces and train station platforms. They are also suitable for use as a platform or loading bed in trailers and lorries. FRP bridge decking elements of the krafton® 500.35 are the lightest in our range. Chemicals have virtually no effect on FRP bridge decks. As a result, this FRP bridge deck is also a popular choice in the petrochemical industry, as a roof or wall of cooling towers, for example. krafton® 500.35 planks are laid with a male-female connection. As a result, the FRP bridge decking elements are arranged tightly against each other. The panels can be mounted on support structures made of steel, plastic or wood. They are easy to install thanks to their light weight.

krafton® 500.35 is not used as a bridge deck as often as our other planks. Due to its low height of 35 mm and fewer support legs, this plank will deflect relatively more with a larger span, and as such will be quicker to reach maximum bending stress. This plank is ideally more suitable for decking, train platforms and, for example, roof structures where 2kN is a requirement.
