Illinois Pallet Rack and Wire Mesh Decking

Large in-stock pallet rack quick ship options are available now at our Illinois facility. We carry a wide range of pallet racking components and wire decking ready to ship fast—so you can keep your warehouse running smoothly. While upright frames and beams are the core components of any pallet racking system, the role of wire mesh decking is often overlooked. You expand the pallet support surface by pairing wire decks with pallet racking cross beams from just a few inches to several square feet. This added surface area enhances support and improves safety and efficiency during loading and picking.

At our Illinois facility, we have in-stock high-quality wire decking and pallet racking components from trusted brands like Steel King, Triboro, Interlake, and a full line of industrial shelving solutions. Our decking options are far more durable than plywood alternatives and are more likely to meet local fire code requirements.

Selective Pallet Rack

For those with box beams or beams that are otherwise incompatible with standard U channel wire decks, flare channel decks are the go-to solution. Instead of sitting on the beam step, the support channels of flare channel decks “flare” over the top of the beam, eliminating the need for a beam step. Though not as strong as U channel decks, flare channel decks have the advantage of being universal. Meaning, you’ll never have to worry about whether or not they’ll be compatible with a given pair of cross beams. Both U channel and flare channel decks are readily available from our Maple Grove Minnesota Facility.

U-channel wire decks are the most popular in our selection. They tend to dominate the wire deck market because they are generally stronger and more cost-effective than flare channel varieties. Our Maple Grove, Minnesota inventory includes quick shipping, standard-sized wire decks, meaning lead times are held to 1-3 days. If your pallet rack cross beams have a standard step, U-channel wire decks are likely the decking option for you.
