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. |

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. |

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. |

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 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 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. |

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. |

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. |
