Wire Decking: Common Questions & Troubleshooting Tips

I. Common Questions

1. What is the load-bearing capacity of the wire decking?

The standard model supports a load of 50–350 kg per tier; models reinforced with stiffeners offer even higher load capacities. When cargo is distributed evenly, the capacity is more than sufficient for standard use; however, overloading is strictly prohibited.

2. Is it prone to rusting?

The surface features a rust-resistant finish (either galvanized or powder-coated). In dry warehouse environments, rusting is unlikely. For use in humid environments, we recommend selecting the heavy-duty galvanized model.

3. Can it be placed directly onto the shelf beams? Yes. No screws or welding are required; the decking can be laid directly onto the beams. Installation is simple, and removal is convenient.

4. Will goods fall through the mesh openings?

Standard mesh sizes are suitable for boxed, bagged, or full-carton goods. For storing small parts, we recommend using liner boards or selecting a mesh deck with finer openings.

5. Will it deform or collapse after prolonged use?

Our standard products feature bottom reinforcement ribs to ensure even load distribution. Provided there is no off-center loading or overloading, the decking is highly resistant to bending or deformation.

6. Can the dimensions be customized?

Yes, we support custom specifications for length, width, wire diameter, and mesh size to fit a wide variety of non-standard light-duty and medium-duty shelving systems.

7. Can the shelves be stacked or rearranged?

Yes. Thanks to their light weight and flexible assembly, you can easily add or remove shelf levels and rearrange their positions at any time, making it very convenient to modify your storage layout.


II. Usage Recommendations

1. Place goods in the center of the shelf and distribute the load evenly to prevent off-center loading or concentrated heavy pressure on a single spot.

2. Place heavier items on the lower shelves and lighter items on the upper shelves to optimize load-bearing capacity and enhance overall safety.
