Heavy Duty Rack

Heavy-duty wire mesh decking for industrial racking is typically made of high-grade, welded steel and designed to support substantial uniform distributed loads (UDL), often ranging from 2,500 to over 3,000 lbs (approx. 1134 to 1360 kg) per panel. Material and Construction Material: Constructed from high-strength steel wire and steel channel supports, often mild steel. Wire Gauge/Thickness: Typically uses heavy-duty wire, often 4-gauge (approx. 5.3 mm) to 6-gauge wire, ensuring strength and durability. Support Channels: The "backbone" of the decking, U-shaped or flared steel channels (often 14-gauge or 1.5mm to 2.0mm thick) are welded to the underside to provide rigidity and load-bearing capacity. Welded Construction: The mesh and support channels are typically fully welded for maximum strength. Performance and Safety Load Capacity: Designed for heavy loads, capacities typically range from 2,500 lbs (1134 kg) to over 3,000 lbs (1360 kg) uniformly distributed load (UDL) per panel. Safety: Wire mesh decking enhances warehouse safety by allowing for better air circulation and light penetration, which improves visibility and helps overhead sprinkler systems operate more effectively. It also minimizes dust and debris accumulation. Certifications: Many reputable manufacturers produce decking that is R-Mark and ANSI certified, ensuring adherence to industry safety standards.
