Pallet Rack Accessory Guide

Pallet Racks by themselves are very useful – however there are several common add-ons that give them even more utility.

Wire decks are a handy solution for improving both safety and visibility in your pallet rack systems.

While not specifically designed for point loading, wire decking can support up to 2500# of an evenly distriburted load – however, most loads should still typically be supported by the front and rear pallet rack beams.

Wire decks come in several different configurations, however the two most common are universal/flared and step style.

The main difference between a universal style wire deck and a step style wire deck is the support channels under the wire mesh. With a universal style, the channel is flared out allowing it to fit almost any style of pallet rack beam – box or step style. The step style wire decks can only fit on a step style beam.

Wire decking provides a safe deck material that meets all OSHA standards.  Many cities and municipal area require that rack decking be permeable by water or fire suppressants from overhead sprinkler systems.  Wire decks allow water to drip through to the lower levels of racking while still keeping persons below safe from falling objects.

Wire Decking From China Does Not Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC

by admin on August 12, 2010

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that a U.S. industry is neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of imports of wire decking from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun and Commissioners Daniel R. Pearson, Shara L. Aranoff, and Dean A. Pinkert voted in the negative. Commissioners Charlotte R. Lane and Irving A. Williamson voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s negative determinations, no antidumping or countervailing duty order will be issued on imports of the product from China.

The Commission’s public report Wire Decking for China (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-466 and 731-TA-1162 (Final), USITC Publication 4172, July 2010) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

Copies may be obtained after August 10, 2010, by emailing pubrequest@usitc.gov, calling 202/205-2000, or by writing the Office of the Secretary, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may also be made by fax to 202/205-2104.


US imposes duties on imports of wire decking from China

by admin on February 10, 2010

The US government slapped preliminary anti-dumping duties on imports of more than 300 million dollars worth of wire decking from China, the Commerce Department said in a statement on Tuesday.

The department claimed that it found dumping of wire decking from China after investigation. The tariffs of between 42.61 to 289 percent will be imposed and collected until a final determination is made in the case.

Wire decking reinforced with structural supports is designed generally for industrial and other commercial storage rack systems.

The United States has imposed duties on a variety of Chinese goods including steel pipes, grating and tubular goods based on other investigations.

The wire decking anti-dumping case is another move that might escalate trade disputes between the two major trade players in the world.
