Mesh Decking For Pallet Racking

Introduction to Genuine Eurorack Mesh Decking

What is Mesh Decking?

Mesh Decking, also known as wire decking, is a device made of 100% steel, designed to support and safely store goods on rack platforms, reducing incidents like falling, especially with medium and small-sized items.

Additionally, using wire mesh panels is a great solution to ensure the smooth, safe, and efficient flow of goods, helping businesses reduce unnecessary costs.

Technical Characteristics of Wire Mesh Decking

Regarding technical characteristics, steel mesh floors will have some fixed standards and some determined based on the actual needs of each user, so they will be detailed as follows:

• Quality standards: There are many standards for evaluating steel mesh products; however, the most accurate and widely used for certification are: EN 1090 for European standards and ISO 9001 for international standards.
• Standard dimensions of Mesh Decking include: 50 x 50, 50 x 100, 100 x 100, 120 x 120, 120 x 150, 150 x 150 (cm).
• The steel bars are interwoven to create a flat mesh surface with a thickness of 5 – 6 mm per bar.
• Depth is a dimension determined by the length of the bend (this bend has a 90-degree angle) and has standard dimensions of 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 (cm).
• The underside of the mesh floor has support bars with a thickness of 2mm, bent in an omega shape to increase durability and load-bearing capacity. Each mesh floor will have at least two support bars, with more depending on the size of the Mesh Decking and the desired load capacity.
• Thanks to being made of steel and supported by reinforcement bars, each mesh floor can support loads from 100 to 1500 kg.
• Surface treatment technologies for Mesh Decking include electrostatic painting and galvanization (electroplating and hot dipping).

Storage racks using steel mesh floors have 6 reinforcement bars to provide excellent load support

Benefits of Mesh Decking when used for storage racks

Whenever a product is researched, developed, and brought to market, it brings value and benefits to its owners and users. Below are six advantages of Wire Mesh Decking when used to support storage racks in warehouses.

Safeguarding goods on the storage rack system

During the process of placing pallets containing goods onto racks, operators sometimes find it difficult to gauge the distance or determine if their items are placed securely on the rack. This indicates a significant potential risk if the operator is even slightly careless or negligent. Therefore, equipping the rack with steel mesh decking provides a safe and optimal solution for the stacking and storage process.

Reducing friction on the rack's beam bars

The beam bars are the horizontal bars attached to the ends of the upright posts, and they directly bear the load from the goods. Previously, when mesh flooring was widely used, goods were placed directly on these bars, and over time, their surfaces began to show signs of paint peeling due to the friction force exerted by pallets or forklifts. Thus, steel mesh decking acts as a barrier, reducing contact between the goods and the rack's surface, thereby decreasing the rate of damage. Consequently, your rack system remains in a new condition, preserving the anti-corrosion functionality of the paint coating on the beam bars.

Easy installation and removal without screws

Mesh decking can be quickly installed and removed without the need for screws. However, thanks to the manufacturer's calculations, it still ensures stability without slipping by making the mesh surface wider than the distance between the beam bars.

Compatibility with both regular and cold storage warehouses

When using Mesh Decking, there's no need to worry about environmental impacts on the products because it's made from specialized steel materials with effective corrosion resistance. Additionally, to maximize durability, it's coated with aesthetically pleasing electrostatic paint or bright zinc plating. Therefore, it's not only suitable for regular warehouses but also for cold storage with temperatures down to 0°C without causing any issues to the mesh flooring.

Increasing brightness in the warehouse to highlight products

Furthermore, when these mesh panels are placed on storage racks, they reflect light, making your warehouse appear brighter, thus highlighting product locations. This makes it easier for managers or employees to access the items needing retrieval, and enhances the accuracy of inventory checks.

Mesh Decking keeps goods stable on pallet racks, and it also increases brightness for warehouses.

Some things to consider when placing Mesh Decking

If a business is planning to equip its warehouse with Wire Mesh Decking, here are some things to consider before making a decision.

Identify the type of goods and their weight

Each type of steel mesh flooring has different load capacities because businesses' storage needs vary to suit the types of items they deal with. Therefore, the manufacturer will engage with your company to discuss necessary specifications such as warehouse layout, dimensions of goods, and weight. This discussion helps simulate how your mesh flooring will be sized and structured.

Providing accurate information to the manufacturer is crucial to avoid risks of errors leading to cost overruns and to ensure safety for workers while enhancing product durability.

Identify the correct type of storage rack units being used

Not all rack types are compatible with Mesh Decking, such as Drive-in racks, Shuttle racks, Push Back racks, Gravity Flow racks, Industrial Shelving, Cantilever Racks, Mold Racks, etc. These rack types lack positions to accommodate steel mesh panels.

Instead, rack types suitable for integrating mesh decking are Mobile racks, Double Deep racks, Selective racks, Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racks, and Mid-duty racks. Therefore, you also need to identify the type of rack your warehouse is using, or if you're building a new system and need to incorporate Mesh Decking, choose the appropriate rack type based on the list we just provided.

Accurately Determining the Size of the Rack

The specific dimensions here refer to the width and length of the rack's beam. These are fundamental components upon which manufacturers base decisions to construct steel mesh flooring products. Measuring these dimensions precisely ensures that the mesh flooring fits snugly on these beams without any shortage or excess.
The consequences of shortages include compromised safety during storage, loose mesh flooring leading to items falling out of the system. Conversely, excess material occupies more space, causing inconvenience when forklifts reach the positions for loading and unloading goods. Additionally, it incurs higher costs for surplus material.

Which warehouse racks use Mesh Decking?

Currently, there are three types of storage racks that integrate steel mesh decking. Let's review some prominent advantages of each below:

Selective Rack with Mesh Decking

The Selective Rack with steel mesh flooring is a type of warehouse rack where products are directly stored on shelves constructed from interconnected steel mesh panels placed over the rack's two beams. Stability for palletized goods is achieved through the support bars beneath the mesh flooring.

Using mesh flooring for Selective Racks allows warehouse operators easy and precise access to each item due to the openness and light penetration. This facilitates navigation for forklift operators.

Advantages:

• Suitable for cold storage environments.
• Low installation costs.
• High flexibility and ease of use.
• Simple installation and removal, easy to clean.

Double Deep Rack with Mesh Decking

The Double Deep Rack with steel mesh flooring is a rack system composed of two rows of Selective Racks joined together by cross beams. Each level of storage is divided into two steel mesh floors, allowing the warehouse to store large quantities of goods, ensuring safety and high efficiency.

The specialty of Double Deep racks is their ability to store large quantities of goods. Before the introduction of Mesh Decking, ensuring safety against falling goods was evaluated to be low. Therefore, timely implementation of steel mesh flooring for warehouse racks is a safe storage solution for both goods and workers.

Advantages:

• Large storage density.
• Easy access and retrieval of pallets.
• Extremely high safety features in the warehouse.
• Suitable for warehouses with multiple SKUs such as FMCG, materials, spare parts, etc.

VNA Rack with Mesh Decking

VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) racks with steel mesh flooring are currently popular due to their ability to store heavy goods at heights exceeding 18 meters while occupying a very narrow footprint. However, this advantage poses difficulties in observation during the process of loading and unloading goods into the system for upper rack levels.

However, leveraging the advantages of Mesh Decking to integrate with VNA racks allows for rapid loading and unloading of goods.

Advantages:

• Designed based on warehouse floor dimensions.
• Efficient use of space.
• Shortened loading and unloading time.
• Base feet increase contact area with the floor.
