Pallet rack wire decking buyer's guide

Definition and core functions of pallet rack wire decking

Pallet rack wire decking is designed exclusively to provide users of pallet rack shelving the ability to store items on shelves without having to use a pallet. Wire decks also provide increased stability and protection to the pallet rack over conventional pallet support beams alone. Depending on the environment that the decking is used in, there are different protective coatings to choose from - powder-coated and galvanized wire decking. 

Wire decking improves lighting and visibility

The wire mesh grid in pallet rack wire decking allows light to pass through and evenly disperse from the ceiling to the floor. Using a wire mesh deck in pallet rack storage reduces shadows, resulting in brighter warehouses. A better distribution of existing lighting has been proven to reduce accidents and increase stocking and picking efficiencies. 

Wire decking enhances fire safety

Wire decking also increases the level of safety by reducing the risk of loss due to fire. In the event of fire, traditional solid decking materials like wood or plywood ignite and block water from getting to the fire. With wire decking, this problem is all but eliminated because water can easily pass through the mesh wire, allowing sprinklers access to flames. Pallet rack wire decking has proven to be so successful at reducing losses due to fire that most local fire codes now require wire decking to be used wherever indoor pallet rack storage is utilized.

Positioning and structural characteristics of wire decking

Pallet rack wire decking is a main product in our product line. It is widely used in warehouse, as an accessory of rack. It is commonly used as a safety measure on selective pallet rack to prevent pallets or the products stored on them from falling through the rack structure. Wire mesh decking comes in various thicknesses and mesh dimensions. Most wire mesh extends across the top and down the front of the beam to provide more support, and is more desirable in the marketplace.
