Minnesota Pallet Racks

Pallet Rack and Wire Mesh Decking

The main components of pallet racking may be upright frames and beams, but the importance of wire mesh decking is often underrated. When wire decks are used to complement pallet rack cross beams, the surface on which the pallet sits is increased from less than a few inches to several square feet. Adding to the pallet shelves’ surface area not only lends additional support but makes loading and picking easier and less hazardous. Our Minnesota Pallet Rack and Wire decking is more durable than plywood, and are more likely to comply with local fire codes. Our Pallet Rack Guide will give you the tools to help you select your pallet rack components and in-stock 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.
