The Solaracks HDG punched walkway is the punched-plank type of the HDG walkway family — carbon steel cut, punched and bended into a self-supporting plank, then hot-dip galvanized. The punched surface drains water and grips underfoot, giving O&M crews a firm route across the array while spreading boot loads off the roof skin.

HDG punched walkway planks mounted on rails

Where the wire-mesh type is stamped and stretched into an open diamond mesh, the punched type is cut and pressed from sheet — a closed-edge plank with punched openings, stiffer underfoot and simpler to clean. Length, width and thickness are customizable, and the coating can be supplied in ZAM (zinc-aluminium-magnesium) instead of hot-dip galvanizing for higher corrosion classes.

Stacked HDG punched walkway planks

Key specifications: Material — carbon steel · Processing — cut, punched, bended · Coating — hot-dip galvanized, ZAM optional · Length, width and thickness — customized · Mounting — short rail, footing distance to suit the layout.

Pair it with the HDG wire-mesh walkway SR-W6 where an open mesh surface is preferred.

Frequently asked questions

What coating options are available on the SR-W7 walkway?

Hot-dip galvanized is standard on the carbon steel plank, and ZAM zinc-aluminium-magnesium coating is optional for higher corrosion classes on the punched walkway.

How does the punched walkway differ from the wire-mesh type?

The punched type is a closed-edge plank with punched openings - stiffer underfoot and simpler to clean than the open diamond mesh of the HDG wire-mesh walkway SR-W6.

Can the walkway dimensions be customized to my layout?

Yes - length, width and thickness are customized to suit your roof layout, and mounting uses a short rail with footing distance set to match the array.

What is the SR-W7 punched walkway made of?

Carbon steel that is cut, punched and bended into a self-supporting plank, then hot-dip galvanized - a firm O&M route that spreads boot loads off the roof skin.
