  • Wire Mesh Deck

    Wire Mesh Deck, Wire Decking, or WMD, is the most common type of pallet support for the gap between beams in the material handling industry. Speedrack Midwest offers an extensive range of decking solutions to accommodate every application, both in-stock and custom order. Speedrack Midwest offers flexibility in decking size, configurations, and weight-loading specifications. Wire Mesh Deck is simple to install, maintain, and accessorize for maximum efficiency in your material handling operation.

    Why use Wire Mesh Deck? Wire Mesh Decks help distribute loads, maximize your system's weight ratings, and improve pallet/product stability.

    Additional advantages of using Wire Mesh Deck include:

    • Fire safety, as water can pass through the wire mesh pattern, helping to extinguish any potential fire in your racking system.
    • Increases lumen / footcandle levels from your overhead lighting. This helps lift operators see the product they are taking in and out of the racking system and also helps prevent potential damage.

    Styles of wire mesh deck include Outside Waterfall (most common), Inside Waterfall, Flat Flush, Inverted Channel, Flared Channel, and Upturned Waterfall. Each offers unique benefits tailored to specific storage needs, such as load beam compatibility, debris prevention, or product retention.
