Mining Anti-Slip Solutions for Grating, Grated Stairs & Walkways
High-traction, no-hot-work retrofits that stand up to slurry, oil, snow, and ice.
Water, slurry, ore dust, oil/grease, and seasonal snow and ice make mines tough on walking surfaces. Painted grit wears fast, and bolted/welded plates trap debris and add corrosion points—often needing hot-work permits and downtime.
Titan Safety Anti-Slip Clips retrofit onto steel grating on staircases, catwalks, platforms, access walkways, draglines, shovels with no drilling, no fasteners, no hotwork, delivering durable traction in the harshest mining conditions.
Why Mining Operations Choose Titan
- Zero-hot-work install: Avoid cutting/welding, permits, fire watch, and extended outages.
- High-friction grip when wet/dirty: Maintains footing through slurry, water, oil, snow, ice, and frost.
- Cleanable & low-maintenance: Clip-on profile sheds debris better than plate add-ons; no grit paint to re-apply.
- Protects asset integrity: No new holes or welds that become corrosion sites.
- Long service life: Corrosion-resistant construction with 10+ years typical duty.
- Labor saver: Modular fit can cut install labor ~70% vs. vs bolt, screw, drill and welded retrofits.

Uses in Mines
- Grated stairs and landings in underground access drives and shops
- Dragline Excavators, Mining Shovels & other Large-Scale Equipment acessways.
- Crusher, screen, and conveyor platforms; plant catwalks
- Mill/processing mezzanines, thickener and flotation decks
- Pump stations, sumps, and water-handling platforms
- Load-out, rail loop, and stockpile walkway approaches
- Fuel/lube stations, wash bays, and maintenance facilities
Fit & Coverage Guidelines (Typical)
Open grating: Select clip size by bar depth; place clips at heel-strike points (front edges and mid-span).
Stairs: 6 – 12 clips per step (width-dependent) for continuous leading-edge traction.
Landings/platforms: Grid pattern in traffic lanes; tighten spacing at turns and door thresholds.

Need help sizing?
Share step width, bars-per-tread (depth), and number of treads/landings—we’ll map an exact bill of materials.
Installation—3 Simple Steps
Position the clip on the bar(s).
Knock into place with rubber mallet.
Verify traction under foot; repeat the pattern.
Most teams handle installs with standard PPE and basic hand tools—no hot permits.
Maintenance & Life
Add a quick visual check to routine inspections. Replace individual clips if damaged—no need to disturb adjacent hardware. Typical service life exceeds 10 years in mining duty.
Results You Can Expect
Fewer STF incidents on high-traffic routes
Less downtime and permit/admin overhead
Lower corrosion risk vs. drilled/welded solutions
Standardized, repeatable coverage site-wide

FAQs
Do installs require hot work underground or in the plant?
No. Titan Anti-Slip Clips install with no cutting or welding, so hot-work permits, fire watch, and ventilation impacts are typically avoided. Most sites fit them during routine maintenance windows.
Will they stay secure near crushers/conveyors that vibrate?
Yes—when matched to the correct grating bar profile and fastener. We recommend a quick torque/fit check after first use and adding a visual check to routine inspections.
How many clips per stair tread and how should platforms be covered?
For grated stairs, plan 6–12 clips per step (width-dependent) for continuous nosing coverage and visibility. On platforms/landings, create lane coverage along travel paths, tightening spacing at turns, thresholds, ladder tops, and valve stations.
How do they handle slurry, oil, ice, and de-icing salts?
The high-friction surface maintains grip in wet, oily, or iced conditions, and corrosion-resistant alloys withstand salt and moisture.
Are they compatible with our existing grating and “no-front-tread” stairs?
Yes. Clips are designed for steel open grating (plain or serrated, galvanized or painted) and work well on steps with no front tread. Share bar depth/profile and photos so we can match the clip style precisely.
