Wire Decking for Pallet Racks
Used wire decks for pallet racks can often be purchased independently to supplement an existing racking system or to piece together separate used racking components for your customized solution. Pallet rack decks can have many different manufacturers, such as Meco, Interlake, Steel King, Anderson, Ridg-U-Rak, and many more. Wire decking is used to provide additional support for any items placed into a pallet rack. Many items may be on wood pallets or nesting pallets, which do not work well in a racking system that does not have wire decking or safety bars in place. Just about all wire decking will be cross-compatible with different brands of beams. Pay close attention to the width and depth of the used wire decking to ensure that yours will fit your pallet rack system. Combine these used wire decks with uprights and beams for a complete pallet rack system.

Decking FAQs
What Is a Wire Deck Used For in Pallet Racking?
A wire deck sits across the beams of a pallet rack bay to create a solid-feeling shelf surface, letting you store cartons or loose items directly on the rack instead of only full pallets. It also improves fire-sprinkler performance versus solid decking (open wire mesh lets water pass through) and lets you see what's stored below.
Are Wire Decks Sized to Fit Any Rack System?
Wire decks need to match your specific beam spacing (the distance between front and back beams) and bay width -- they're not universal. Measure your rack's beam spacing before ordering, or bring the spec to your rep so they can match you to compatible inventory.
What's the Weight Capacity of a Typical Wire Deck?
Capacity depends on wire gauge and channel/support configuration, with most industrial wire decks rated anywhere from a few hundred to 2,500+ lbs per deck when properly supported by the beams underneath. The deck's rating assumes correct beam support -- it's not a standalone structural shelf.
Do You Sell Wire Decks Individually or Only in Bulk Lots?
Both, single decks and bulk lots are available. Buyers outfitting an entire rack system typically buy in bulk for better per-unit pricing and to ensure consistent sizing across the whole system.
