Wire decking can improve visibility and support, but it does not make every pallet or load configuration safe by itself.

Deck style and fit
Inside-waterfall and outside-waterfall designs engage rack beams differently. Deck dimensions must fit the beam spacing and profile.
Support channels
Channel shape and orientation affect how loads transfer to the beams. Confirm whether the deck is intended for pallet support, carton storage, or both.
Load compatibility
Point loads, feet, small containers, and damaged pallets may require additional supports or a different deck. Never assume the mesh alone carries the advertised load under every condition.
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Can cartons sit directly on wire decking?
Only when the decking is designed and rated for that use and small items cannot fall through.
Does wire decking replace pallet supports?
Sometimes the design integrates support, but requirements vary. Follow the rack and deck manufacturer’s configuration.
