Heavy-Duty Rack Wire Decking

Heavy-Duty Rack Wire Decking is a welded steel mesh panel installed between pallet rack beams to form a load-supporting storage surface. It is used for palletized goods, cartons, bins and industrial materials on rack levels requiring a reinforced deck structure.
The main selection factors are panel width and depth, beam span, mesh opening, wire diameter, support-channel quantity, load rating and surface finish. These dimensions should be confirmed against the rack layout and loading condition.

Welded Wire Mesh
Steel wires are resistance welded at each intersection to form the load-supporting mesh. Wire diameter and mesh opening establish the basic deck structure.
Support Channels
Formed steel channels are welded beneath the mesh and transfer the stored load toward the rack beams. Channel quantity and spacing are selected according to panel dimensions and required capacity.
Edge Profile
The front and rear edges are formed to seat on the rack beams. Edge dimensions are matched to the beam profile and installation arrangement.

Wire Diameter
Heavy-duty configurations commonly use 4.0–6.0 mm wire. The required diameter depends on panel span, load rating and mesh configuration.
Support Channels
Three to eight support channels can be used according to panel size and loading requirements. Additional channels can be specified for wider or higher-capacity configurations.
Load Transfer
The mesh distributes stored material across the support channels. The channels then transfer the load to the rack beams, making the complete deck configuration important when establishing capacity.

Steel Wire
Low-carbon steel wire is used for the welded mesh. Wire diameter is selected according to the structural requirement of the specified deck.
Support Steel
Formed steel channels provide the primary reinforcement beneath the mesh. Channel thickness and profile can be selected according to the required loading condition.
Surface Treatment
Powder coating provides a finished surface for general indoor storage. Galvanized finishes can be specified for areas requiring additional corrosion protection.

Beam Span
The clear distance between supporting beams affects the deck loading condition. Panel dimensions and support arrangement should therefore be assessed together.
Load Distribution
A uniformly distributed load and a concentrated pallet load produce different stress conditions. The required rating should correspond to the actual storage pattern.
Rack Capacity
The deck rating should be considered together with beam and upright capacities. Installing a higher-rated deck does not increase the rated capacity of the rack structure.

Beam Profile
Beam flange width, step geometry and seating dimensions should be confirmed before selecting the edge configuration.
Deck Width
Deck width is determined by the beam length and the number of panels required across each rack level. Multiple panels are commonly used on longer beam runs.
Deck Depth
Deck depth should correspond with the rack frame depth and pallet support area. Common configurations include approximately 900 mm, 1050 mm and 1200 mm.

Pallet Storage
Used on pallet rack levels for palletized loads, cartons and containers while maintaining an open storage surface.
Industrial Warehouses
Applied in manufacturing facilities, distribution areas, spare-parts storage and general industrial storage.
Humid Storage Areas
Open mesh construction permits airflow through the rack level. Galvanized finishes can be selected for environments requiring additional corrosion protection.

Wire Welding
Wire intersections are resistance welded to maintain consistent mesh geometry and joint formation throughout the panel.
Channel Assembly
Support channels are positioned according to the approved specification and welded beneath the mesh. Channel location is controlled during assembly.
Dimensional Inspection
Panel width, depth, mesh opening, wire diameter, channel position and edge dimensions are checked against the production specification before packing.

Panel Dimensions
Panel width and depth can be specified according to beam length, rack depth and required storage coverage.
Structural Configuration
Wire diameter, mesh opening, channel quantity and channel position can be adjusted for the required loading condition.
Edge Design
Waterfall, flush and inside-edge configurations can be specified according to beam geometry and installation requirements.
Surface Finish
Powder-coated and galvanized finishes are available according to the storage environment and corrosion protection requirements.

Provide the rack beam length, beam profile, clear span, rack depth, required panel dimensions, load per deck and load distribution. For replacement orders, existing deck dimensions or a rack drawing can be used to confirm the required configuration.
