Mesh wire decking has an open-weave design of durable metal. Depending on the model, the pieces of decking fit in between or over the pallet rack’s support beams. The decking does not and should not support the full weight of the pallets, but it does help distribute weight across the support beams, making storage safer.
Wire decks help catch anything that falls from the pallets, preventing lost products or spills from falling to the floor. Without the mesh decking in place, products could get lost if they fall from a pallet onto a pallet below or to the floor.
