If our brewpub is only foot traffic and light use (no fork lifts etc.)is there a recommended lighter duty trench drain that would be applicable for our situation?

Typically robust trench drains are about $1000 like this one from Watts:
A leading manufacturer of water quality solutions. Water safety, flow control, backflow prevention, drainage. Learn more about our products!
It's industrial grade and will probably outlast your business. Why cheap out? In the grand scheme of things the price is pretty low compared to replacing a less robust model.

I wouldn't trust a plastic grate with that sort of load. Even though the Watts drain is made of high impact plastic, it has a reinforced metal grate that we've driven over with our forklift hundreds of times.

Yeah I wouldn't run a full pallet on a jack over my home depot specials. I've got 1.5bbl fermenters on casters which I roll around the long way just to be safe, and also because they're kind of tippy anyway. The few times I did actually need to run over them (moving in a new tank) I ended up putting down steel plate just to be safe.
But heat and chemicals? Works like a charm.
