Chipboard decking
19 mm chipboard panel for medium-duty racks: depths 500 to 1,000 mm, lengths 1,500 to 2,700 mm, 2 to 4 stiffeners depending on dimensions.
Product overview
Decking complements the beams: chipboard, timber panels, wire-mesh decks, steel gratings or steel shelves. The catalogue publishes standard wire-deck loads of 300, 500, 800 or 1,000 kg and up to 1,500 kg depending on dimensions and stiffeners, plus a 1,000 kg grating in the stated configuration. These maxima apply only to the product and installation described.
Technical specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Compatibility | Medium-duty racks and pallet racking; beam length, frame depth, supports and rack brand must be checked before ordering. |
| Chipboard decking | 19 mm panel, 500 to 1,000 mm depths and 1,500 to 2,700 mm lengths; the reviewed table publishes no separate panel load. |
| Wire-mesh deck | Steel mesh panel with 3 to 5 stiffeners; documented standard version at 800 kg and reinforced version up to 1,500 kg. |
| Steel grating | Open solution for heavy loads; documented working load of 1,000 kg depending on format and configuration. |
| Safety and falling objects | Decking does not replace beams, anti-fall protection or a guardrail. Accessible areas and loads must be addressed for the surveyed installation. |
| Limit to observe | The rack load notice and the configuration actually installed take priority: decking does not increase the rack's permissible capacity. |
Storage catalogue, printed pages 38–39. Published loads concern specific wire decks or gratings with associated dimensions, supports and stiffeners; rack compatibility, installation and total capacity still require validation.
Available materials
Wooden panel
Fir panel, slatted (50%) or solid (100%), for pallet racking, formats 880 × 1,000 mm or 1,090 × 1,100 mm.
Wire-mesh deck
Wire-mesh steel deck with 3 to 5 stiffeners: standard version (800 kg) or reinforced (1,500 kg), lengths 880 or 1,090 mm, depths 1,000 to 1,100 mm.
Steel grating
Steel grating (pressure-locked, folded-edge, cleat or angle mounting) for heavy loads without transferring to the beams: 1,000 kg working load, formats 880/1,090 × 1,000/1,100 mm.
Steel shelf
Galvanized steel shelf for medium-duty racks: 50, 150 or 300 mm elements to combine, depth matching the beams from 400 to 1,200 mm.
Which decking for your rack?
The choice depends on the load, the container and the environment:
- Manual loads or half pallets on medium-duty racks: 19 mm chipboard decking, the most economical
- Pallets carried by the beams: wooden panel or wire-mesh deck (up to 1,500 kg reinforced)
- Heavy loads without transfer to the beams: 1,000 kg steel grating
- Wet environments, sprinklers or hygiene: prefer wire-mesh or grating, which let water and light through
- Always check the permissible load shown on the rack load notice: decking does not increase it
