Our Standards

At J&L Wire, we focus on making sure that our wire mesh deck products meet and exceed expectations. From raw material procurement to testing and manufacturing, we adhere to engineered specifications to produce wire mesh decking that provides value. With GALVA-DECK®, you can be sure that the decking will perform the same tomorrow as they will today, providing years of reliable service. 


GALVA-DECK® wire decking is available in a variety of sizes and patterns, designed to meet your specific needs. Wire is drawn to precise specifications and galvanized for extra protection. Channels are formed in-house from cold-rolled sheet steel ordered from internally designed material specifications. Based on your rack configuration, size, and load capacity, we select the right wire and channel gauges to provide strong wire mesh  decking.

Pallet racks and their needs can vary greatly depending on the industry. For this reason, the design of wire mesh decking must be flexible. J&L Wire offers custom configurations to make sure your welded wire mesh fits securely with your rack while providing the strength required for your load capacities. Our wire mesh decking comes in various configurations, from standard pallet racking to specialized designs.

COMMON WIRE MESH DECKING CONFIGURATIONS

The following are some of the more common configurations found in warehouse decking that are manufactured using our zinc coated wire and welded support channels.
Standard Waterfall

STANDARD WATERFALL (with standard channel)

This wire mesh design features an edge bent 90° that overlaps the horizontal support beam of the pallet rack to help secure the wire mesh deck in place.

Inside Waterfall

INSIDE WATERFALL (with standard channel)

Ideal for tight spaces, this welded wire mesh design has edges bent 90° to rest within the step beam. Also ideal for use when the front or rear beams must be open for bar coding.

Single Rivet Shelving

SINGLE RIVET SHELVING (Bulk Storage)

Designed for 5/8” step beams, these wire mesh decks provide extra capacity for bulk storage. Underside wires enable you to add additional wire shelves underneath the main shelf to further increase the amount of storage space and weight capacity.

Double Rivet Shelving

DOUBLE RIVET SHELVING (Bulk Storage)

J&L’s wire decks for bulk storage are designed with waterfalls in the front and rear for safety when hand loading. These waterfalls prevent clothing from catching and injury to hands

CHANNELS / MESH PATTERNS

Channels – In addition to the way a wire deck rests on a rack’s beams, the addition of welded support channels are necessary to assure the structural rigidity of the deck and specified working load. Some of the more common channel support utilized by GALVA-DECK are pictured here.

Wire decking Wire decking also comes in a variety of mesh patterns, using different wire diameters and channel gauges. Our 2” X 4” and 2½” X 4” are the most common, but others are available and shown below. It is important to recognize that mesh patterns are essential in determining workload capacities, as well as enhancing the overall look and functionality of the decking. The following are some of the more common configurations.

Universal Flange

UNIVERSAL FLANGE

A channel welded to the wire deck that is designed for use on either structural C channel beams, box beams, or step beams. The end of the channel is open and flared enabling it to sit between the decking and beam.

Standard Channel

STANDARD CHANNEL

A channel welded to the wire deck that is designed for use on racks with step beams. The end of the channel is cut square and perpendicular to its overall length and rests between the support beams.

INVERTED CHANNELS

INVERTED CHANNELS

Channels are inverted from their upright position to eliminate the buildup of dust, dirt, or any other debris. This practice is commonly found in the food storage industry whereby promoting a more dust free environment. Typically, lower working loads can be expected on decks using these channels.

Mesh Patterns

MESH PATTERNS

All wire decking mesh patterns are available in 2, 4, 5, and 6-gauge galvanized wire. Other configurations are available upon request.

1” x 4” MESH PATTERN

1” x 4” MESH PATTERN

This 1" x 4" deck mesh pattern is ideal for use with small products and increased load capacities.

deck mesh pattern

2”X 2” MESH PATTERN

This 2" x 2" deck mesh pattern provides extra support for heavy loads.

ACCESSORIES

In addition to wire decking, we offer accessories to help organize your storage system. Dividers, such as clip or hanging dividers, can fit within the wire mesh deck panels, creating sections within your bays for easier product organization. These accessories can be added to most wire mesh decking configurations to further optimize your storage system. Please note that various products may be available by special order only.

10-Flu Space Divider

FLUE SPACE DIVIDER

Galvanized wire dividers that are formed and bent to fit within the wire mesh pattern used by the deck. They are used when loading products from both sides of the rack and feature a flue area for water flow in case of fire.

11-Clip Divider

CLIP DIVIDER

Galvanized wire panels that fit within the wire mesh pattern used by the deck. They simply clip in place in seconds and create sections within your bays to help divide products on a single deck.

12-Hanging Divider

HANGING DIVIDER
