Wire mesh decking with steel support channels allow for the storage of open case items and pallets of inventory in the same sections of pallet rack. Our new and used wire decking helps protect against falling items that can cause worker injury and product damage. The open mesh also provides additional lighting in dark warehouse aisles to easily identify stored inventory, improve the circulation of heating and cooling, and support the unrestricted flow of sprinkler systems in case of fire. Wire decking is maintenance free and easy to install.

FAQs

Q. What style wire deck should I buy for my pallet rack?
A. Wire deck meshing comes in several different styles, including standard double waterfall, single waterfall, inside waterfall, and drop-in.

• Waterfall Decking:
  • Single Waterfall's wire mesh is bent 90 degrees on the front and rests on the outside of the pallet rack beam. This provides stability, eliminates shifting and removes the chance of materials being snagged in a front crevice. It is a less expensive option than double waterfall and is recommended for inventory that isn&#;t placed deep into the rack.
  • Double Waterfall's wire mesh is bent 90 degrees on the front and back and rests on the outside of both pallet rack beams. It is ideal for all types of inventory.
• Drop-In:
  • Flush decking's wire mesh ends flush with the channel to drop into pallet rack beam step, providing a seamless surface area. It is often used when storing heavy inventory as it allows capacity markers to be visible on the face of the beam. It can also provide easier storing and picking for high turnover inventory. The installation of this deck style usually requires mechanically fastening it to the step of the beam.
  • Inside Waterfall decking is similar to flush deck, but with the wire mesh bent 90 degrees front and back to sit inside the step of the beam. This style should also be mechanically fastened to the step of the beam and has less capacity than flanged waterfall.
• Channel Support Styles:
  • Universal/Flange/Flared Channels are identified by flattened wings expanding beyond the width of the &#;U&#; channel at each end. The flanges rest on the top of the rack beams. This channel style will fit all (1 5/8&#; Step, 3/4&#; Step, Box and structural) beams.
  • 1 5/8&#; Step or 1 5/8&#; Channel fits into a 1 5/8&#; Beam Step.
  • 3/4&#; Step or 3/4&#; Channel fits into a 3/4&#; Beam Step.
  • U Channel is identified by a &#;U&#; shaped channel.
  • Inverted U Channel is identified by an upside down &#;U&#; channel. The Inverted U Channel eliminates the buildup of dust and grime inside the channel and is required for businesses in the food and beverage industry.

Q. What size wire deck do I need for my pallet racking?
A. There are several measurements that you will need to identify before you order wire decking.

1. First, you will need to measure the distance from the outside of the front column to the outside of the rear column of the rack upright.
2. The second measurement will be the horizontal distance of the beam between the two vertical uprights.
3. The final measurement you&#;ll need is the distance between the steps on the beams if you have roll form style pallet rack.

Our in-house design experts are here to help you select the correct depth, width, and channel support size for the pallet rack you are purchasing.

Q. What is the most common grid pattern on wire deck?
A. Most standard wire deck is available in a 2&#; x 4&#; pattern with 6 gauge wire, but many other patterns and gauges are also available. Our in-house design experts can help select the right product at the right price for your specific application based on capacity, product to be stored, picking method, and budget.

Q. What kind of wire deck accessories are available?
A. The most common type of accessories are wire deck dividers. You can use these dividers to create product storage lanes from front to back, side to side. Middle dividers allow picking from both sides of the rack. Wire deck back stops keep product from falling off the back of the pallet rack.

There are a number of types of decking one can install on their pallet rack system, but we recommend wire mesh decking, widely recognized as the industry standard. One can use wood and other alternative shelving, but we have a blog article dedicated to why this isn&#;t the best idea.

We&#;ve put together a brief, straightforward outline of the steps involved in ordering pallet rack wire decking. Fortunately for those in the market to purchase wire decking, it&#;s a pretty easy process.

1. Choose your channel style.

Wire mesh decking is supported by &#;channels,&#; and these channels are available in two styles: U Channel and Flare Channel. The type of channel you need will depend on the type of pallet rack beam the decking will sit on.

2. Measure your pallet rack cross beam length.

You&#;ll want to measure the length of your pallet rack cross beam. AK Material Handling Systems&#; online pallet rack catalog, Pallet Rack Now, has an excellent tutorial on how to so. It&#;s a quick and painless process.

3. Measure your upright front to back.

In order to figure out the correct dimensions for your wire decking, you&#;ll need to measure the depth of your uprights. This is done by measure from the outside of one end of the upright to the outside of the other end of the same upright.

4. Measure the width of the top of your beam.

The next measurement to take will be the width of the top of your pallet rack cross beam. There is no standard width for the top of a pallet rack crossbeam, so it&#;s crucial to collect an accurate measurement.

5. Measure the depth of your beam step.

After measuring the width of the top of your beam, you&#;ll want to measure the depth of the beam step, i.e. the depth from the top of the beam at which the beam becomes wider.

6. Figure out the maximum capacity needed per pallet position.

Calculate the maximum capacity you&#;re going to need per pallet position. This step is fairly self-explanatory, and the figure you calculate will depend directly on what you plan to store on the rack.

7. Find the manufacturer of your pallet rack.

Determine the manufacturer of the pallet rack you&#;re going to be using the wire decking with. This can usually be done by looking for a logo or name imprint on the rack system, but can also be done using a google search or a pallet rack guide.

8. Find all part numbers for your rack system if available.

If available, locate all part numbers on your particular rack system.

9. Figure out how many wire decks you need.

Finally, before ordering, you&#;ll want to figure out how many wire decks you&#;re going to need. There is generally one wire deck per pallet position.
