Steel Rack Decking FAQs
What size steel rack decking do I need?
Steel rack decking depth should match your upright depth. For example, 42" deep uprights use 42" deep decks.
Deck widths are typically selected based on beam length:
- 4' beams = 1 deck, 46" wide
- 8' beams = 2 decks, 46" wide each
- 9' beams = 2 decks, 52" wide each
- 10' beams = 2 decks, 58" wide each
- 12' beams = 3 decks, 46" wide each
Will this steel rack decking fit my pallet rack beams?
These steel rack decks are designed to fit standard step beams and include a waterfall edge for secure placement. Always confirm your beam style, beam length, and upright depth before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Do I need perforated decking for fire code?
Perforated steel rack decking is often chosen when improved airflow and sprinkler penetration are important. Fire code requirements can vary by building, storage application, and local jurisdiction, so it is best to check with your fire marshal, insurance provider, or local code authority to confirm what is required for your facility.
How long does shipping take?
Little Giant steel rack decking is made to order, with typical lead times of approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping time may vary depending on order size and destination.
Can steel rack decking support non-pallet loads?
Yes, steel rack decking can support many non-palletized loads, including cartons, bins, and loose inventory, as long as the weight is evenly distributed and does not exceed the rated capacity of the deck. Always follow posted capacity limits and verify that your decking is appropriate for the specific items being stored.
