Handling & Use Requirements

Equipment must be used within rated load capacities and installed on suitable warehouse flooring. Improper loading, uneven distribution, or use outside intended applications can result in structural failure.

Inspect all shipments upon delivery and note any freight damage before signing. Installation and final configuration should be verified by qualified personnel to ensure safe operation.

Delivery & Freight Shipping

All equipment ships via LTL or dedicated freight carriers and is delivered curbside or dock-high depending on facility setup. Liftgate service is not included unless specifically requested at the time of quote.

You are responsible for unloading the shipment and must have appropriate equipment (forklift or dock access) available at delivery. Failure to meet delivery requirements may result in re-delivery fees.

Inspect all items upon arrival before signing the Bill of Lading. Any visible damage must be noted at delivery—claims cannot be processed after acceptance without documentation.

46" Wire Mesh Decking for Standard Pallet Rack Systems

46" width pallet rack wire decking designed for standard pallet rack systems using 8ft and 12ft step beams. This wire mesh decking provides a stable storage surface for pallets, cartons, bins, and mixed warehouse inventory while improving fire safety, visibility, and load support consistency across pallet rack levels.

The waterfall edge design rests securely over standard 1-5/8" step beams to reduce deck movement during pallet loading and unloading operations. Commonly used in distribution centers, ecommerce fulfillment operations, manufacturing facilities, and 3PL warehouses requiring durable pallet rack storage surfaces with manufacturer-rated load capacities.

Wire Decking vs Wood Decking

Wire decking provides better warehouse safety, fire compatibility, and load consistency than plywood or loose wood decking alternatives.

Unlike wood decking:

Open wire mesh allows sprinkler penetration
Waterfall edges help prevent shifting during loading
Manufacturer load ratings are clearly defined
Open grid improves inventory visibility
No cutting or custom fabrication is required
Wire mesh reduces the risk of loose boards falling through rack levels

Wood decking should not be substituted where manufacturer-rated pallet rack storage systems or fire code compliance are required.

Best Fit Applications

This wire mesh decking is commonly used in:

Selective pallet racking systems
3PL warehouses
Ecommerce fulfillment centers
Manufacturing storage areas
Distribution centers
Carton and bin storage applications
Mixed-SKU warehouse environments

The open mesh design supports facilities requiring improved sprinkler performance and better inventory visibility across rack levels.

Do Not Use If

Your pallet rack uses structural channel beams instead of standard step beams
The rack depth does not match the wire deck depth
Point loading exceeds manufacturer-rated uniform load capacity
The application requires a solid decking surface for loose materials
The system requires engineered seismic review beyond standard warehouse storage applications

Request a Compatibility Review

Provide your beam length, rack depth, pallet dimensions, and estimated load weight to confirm compatibility before ordering wire decking for your pallet rack system.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What size wire decking fits 8ft pallet rack beams?

Standard 8ft pallet rack beams require two 46" wide wire decks per shelf level. Beam type must be compatible with standard 1-5/8" step beams.

Does wire decking depth need to match rack depth?

Yes. Wire decking depth must match pallet rack frame depth exactly. Incorrect depth creates unsafe load support conditions.

Can this wire decking be used on structural pallet rack beams?

No. This decking is designed for standard step beams only. Structural channel beam systems require different deck configurations.

Is wire decking better than wood decking for pallet racks?

Wire decking is preferred for most warehouse pallet rack systems because it improves fire sprinkler penetration, reduces shifting risk, and includes manufacturer-rated load capacities.

Can 60" deep wire decking hold the same weight as other depths?

No. The 60" deep configuration is rated for 2000 lbs uniform distributed load. All other listed depths are rated for 2500 lbs uniform distributed load.
