Wire Decking Standard Sizes

Wire mesh decking is one of the most common decking solutions for warehouse pallet rack systems, providing a practical combination of load support, safety, visibility, and flexibility. Available in a range of standard sizes, load capacities, and custom configurations, wire decking can be matched to different pallet rack designs and storage requirements. Its drop-in design also makes installation straightforward, allowing warehouses to add or replace decking without making major changes to the existing rack system.

The open grid design is one of the main advantages of wire mesh decking. It creates a shelf surface that can support pallets, cartons, and other products while helping prevent loose items from falling between pallet rack beams. Unlike solid decking, the open mesh does not provide a large surface where dust and debris can collect. It also allows warehouse lighting to pass through the storage levels, improving visibility throughout the rack system.

Wire mesh decking provides flexibility as inventory and storage requirements change. A warehouse may use the same rack level for full pallet loads at one time and hand-stacked cartons or individual products at another. Decking is available in different dimensions, channel configurations, and load capacities, allowing businesses to select a design appropriate for their products and rack system. For heavier inventory, higher-capacity decking can be specified based on the required load and how that load will be placed on the deck.
