BASIC CONSTRUCTION

Galva-Deck™ comes in a variety of sizes and patterns to meet any need. Wire is drawn to stringent specifications and zinc coated for protection. All channels are formed in house from cold-rolled sheet steel ordered from internally designed material specifications. Based on your requirements such as rack configuration, size, and working load, wire and channel gauges are selected along with the pattern and number of channels needed to provide the desired end result.

CONFIGURATIONS

Pallet racks are not all the same, nor are they manufactured to meet the needs of a single industry. For this reason, they require the deck manufacturer to be flexible in their design of the wire deck to assure that the deck fits properly with the rack, and at the same time provides the necessary strength to support anticipated loads. Besides the more common deck configurations, J&L provides custom decking to fulfill this market need. Give our friendly staff a call today and see how we may be of help to you with your current needs.

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.

MESH PATTERNS/CHANNELS

Wire decking also comes in a variety of mesh patterns, using different wire diameters and channel gauges. Our 2”X 4” and 21⁄2”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 work load capacities, as well as enhancing the overall look and functionality of the decking. 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 work load. Typically, wire and channel gauges are selected based on work load requirements. Most common sizes would include either 4 or 6 gauge wire, and 14 or 16 gauge channels. The number of channel supports welded to the deck (usually from 3 to 6 channels) determine the work load capacity of the finished product. Other wire and channel sizes are available upon request. Here are some of the more common configurations.

ACCESSORIES

Check out our new GALVA-STOP™ rack backing safety system. It helps prevent pallets and other items from inadvertently falling into adjoining isles, promotes proper stacking, and contributes to the overall functionality of the workplace by promoting a neat and orderly appearance. Ask for our brochure today.

BOX STOP

Galvanized wire stops that are formed and bent to fit within the wire mesh pattern of the deck. They can be flush or offset mounted and locked into place by the channel supports. There is no additional hardware required. This option is particularly helpful when hand loading boxes, preventing them from falling into the aisle behind the pallet rack.

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.

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.

HANGING DIVIDER

Similar to the clip divider, these dividers are designed to be made for either front to back or left to right applications. The design allows for quick and easy installation, and with the optional triple tiered wire construction, locks the divider into the deck below.

GALVA-STOP™

See our brochure on GALVA-STOP™, pallet rack backing safety systems. These light weight, vertically or horizontally mounted galvanized wire mesh panels attach directly to the rear of the rack with galvanized hardware. Panels may be flush mounted or offset 2, 4, or 6 inches from the back of the pallet rack to meet your requirements.

WIRE CLIPS

Galva-Stop™ uses galvanized wire clips (patent pending) to attach the backing onto the pallet rack. It is by far the fastest installation method for new warehouses. These clips are locked into place by the channel supports and designed to slide under the wire.
