Galvanized Industrial Wire Mesh Decking for Heavy Duty Pallet Racking System

Ironstone offers a wide selection of new and used wire mesh decking for pallet racking and pallet racking systems. Wire mesh decking is an ideal addition for anyone wishing to store items safely in a pallet racking system. Wire mesh decks for pallet racking provide additional metal racking surface protection, while the open wire mesh allows for free access to the required water from sprinklers in the event of a fire.

Our wire mesh decking is made of heavy duty wire decking, woven into a grid mesh. It's easy to lay pallet rack beams or wire deck rails directly, and the wire decks add an extra layer of security and support without the need for tools. Because they are easy to install and inexpensive, wire mesh decking is a popular product in warehouse setups.

Common wire mesh decking sizes

The purpose of the wire decking is to provide the ability to store items on the racks without the use of pallets. The wire decking also provides added stability and protects the pallet racking with the pallet support beams alone.

Advantages of Wire Mesh Decking

• Easy to install - simple drop in design, no hardware required

• Fits directly onto pallet racking beams in pallet racking systems

• Improved fire safety

• Increases the load capacity of pallet racking

• Available in several finishes, sizes and styles

The wire mesh grids in the pallet racks allow light to pass through and spread evenly from the ceiling to the floor. The use of wire mesh in pallet racking reduces shadows, making the warehouse brighter. Better distribution of available light has been shown to reduce accidents and improve storage and picking efficiency.

Wire mesh decking also improves safety by reducing the risk of loss due to fire. In the event of a fire, traditional solid decking materials such as wood or plywood can catch fire and prevent water from entering the fire.

With wire mesh decks, this problem is almost completely eliminated because water can easily pass through the mesh wire, allowing sprinklers to reach the flames. Wire mesh decking has proven so effective in reducing fire damage that most local fire codes now require the use of wire mesh in indoor pallet storage facilities.
