ProDeck50 Punched Decking for Double Deep Pallet Rack

ProDeck50 punched steel pallet rack decking offers the maximum storage surface in double-deep, back-to-back selective pallet rack rows. In a standard back-to-back bay measuring 96” wide by 96” deep, the total depth comprises a 42” upright, a 12” row spacer for flue space, and another 42” upright, resulting in a full 96” shelf depth. Traditional decking options leave an open void at the flue space, limiting the usable deck area. ProDeck50 provides continuous coverage across the entire depth of the system, enabling the utilization of the full storage footprint while adhering to fire safety requirements.

ProDeck50 spans the row-spacer flue space without interior beams. To install double-deep ProDeck50, the two inner step beams are removed, and the decking rests solely on the front and back load beams. This design creates an uninterrupted storage surface that maximizes capacity while simplifying rack design. The absence of interior beams disrupts the deck, giving more flexibility in storing cartons, boxes, and mixed-size loads.

ProDeck50 offers advantages in fire safety and code compliance. Its punched-steel construction provides 50% open area, allowing overhead sprinkler systems to function optimally in the event of a fire. ProDeck50 meets NFPA fire safety standards and complies with requirements set by fire marshals and insurance carriers. By covering the flue space while maintaining the necessary open area, ProDeck50 combines full-coverage usability with industry-leading safety performance.

Unlike wire mesh decking, ProDeck50 features a smooth steel top surface that effectively handles cartons, small packages, totes, and irregularly sized items. Its punched-steel profile prevents snagging, minimizes product damage, and provides a more stable support plane compared to wire. For operations seeking to maximize usable deck space, meet fire safety standards, and enhance handling efficiency, Double-Deep ProDeck50 punched steel decking is a high-performance storage solution.
