Records Storage
FOR RECORDS STORAGE

One of the more popular applications for corrugated steel decking is archive / record storage. The corrugated steel decking is the economical answer to support record boxes, contributing to a "low cost per box" warehouse design. Its flush fit inside the pallet rack beams provides a flat, smooth, easy slide on and off surface which will not leave an imprint on the boxes like other decking choices. As always, available in solid or perforated panels.



Fabric/Carpet
FOR FABRIC / CARPET

Corrugated steel decking is stronger than wood decking and less expensive than both wood and wire. For long length items, corrugated steel decking is a perfect solution. It provides a seamless, flat, smooth, solid support from the front all the way to the back of the rack bay. Typical lengths are cut in 8 to 12 feet or more and are available as solid or perforated, painted or galvanized finish.





Step Beam
FITS ANY STANDARD STEP BEAM

No matter what brand of rack is used, our corrugated steel decking fits any standard 1 5/8" or 1 1/2" pallet rack step beam. It is often used as a "safety net" in standard pallet racks to support a pallet load which might be improperly placed on the rack beams. The decking will help support the load and prevent it from falling through. The gauge of the decking will vary to accommodate different loading requirements -- from 22 gauge to 16 gauge. We also have We also have lighter duty 7/8" and 9/16" high decking for lighter load, bulk-storage, shelving beams.





Smoke & Fire Baffles
Mezzanine

Our 1 1/2" Corrugated Steel "B" Deck, is a very common material for flooring applications on Mezzanines, Catwalks, and overhead Aisle ways. Our mezzanine decking has a BRIGHT WHITE paint finish on the underside, so when lights are installed under the structure, you have bright / highly reflective finish. The decking material can be cut to any length required, typically in 8 ft. to 20 ft. lengths. The length is usually determined by the spacing of the supports. The panels are available in 36", 30" and 24" widths. The gauge of the material will vary depending on the loading requirements. For very deep span conditions, we also offer a heavy duty "N" deck material that is 3" high for greater strength and deflection control.





Open Deck vs. Solid Steel Deck
OPEN DECK vs. SOLID STEEL DECK

One important concern of any warehouse manager is how to protect stored merchandise, especially in the event of a fire. Open deck styles of rack decking can allow flames to come in contact with merchandise and allow a fire to spread faster, making it harder for the sprinklers to put the fire out. Steel decking, however, acts as a fire baffle preventing the fire from spreading.

The optional PERFORATED panels are popular because they will still act as a fire baffle yet allow water from an overhead sprinkler to drain to the levels below. Another good reason to choose a solid deck is for its ability to contain material which might fall through an open deck to another level.




Dense Bundles
DENSE BUNDLES SAVE FREIGHT

The wave shape of corrugated steel decking allows it to nest very densely, one panel inside of another, saving money in freight costs. When not in use, the panels can be stored easily out of the way.





Bulk Storage
FOR BULK STORAGE

Our corrugated steel decking can be used to store everything from pallet loads to small boxes, to drums to motors, our solid steel decking is the answer. It accommodates a wide weight range and can be made to fit any rack size, in any number of different panel heights. It is ideal for both forklift and hand-loaded items.




Smoke & Fire Baffles
SMOKE & FIRE BAFFLES

Our panels may be fastened to the rack uprights, to the back of a rack bay, or to the rack beams to act as a smoke and fire baffle. They prevent the spreading of smoke or fire from one storage bay to the next. Because this is a non-load bearing application, the panels can often be made in a light gauge, more economical material.




Cantilever Racking
FOR CANTILEVER RACKING

Cantilever Cantilever racks with steel decking is a perfect combination. Our steel decking is often used to provide a stacking surface between the arms of standard cantilever racking. It is commonly used to store everything from lumber and plumbing items to furniture and fabric.

Perforated Thumbnail
PERFORATED
(sending new line drawing over for this) The perforated steel decking is the best of all worlds. Providing the benefits of our standard solid decking, our perforated decking does not loose any of its strength in load carrying capacity (still stronger than wood or wire), and yet still acts as a fire baffle to contain fire spreading. It allows overhead sprinkler water drainage to the levels below.
