If you have ever had a deck or dock that was prone to leaks and other water damage, you know the importance of protecting your decking materials from potential damage from rain or snow. Waterfalls are a great way to ensure that your decking stays where it should instead of becoming unstable. Instability is a bad thing when it comes to safety and protection for the products on your shelves. You want to avoid injuries and you want to avoid litigation. Waterfall wire decking can definitely help you do that if you make use of it in your business.
Why is it called a waterfall wire deck? The end of the wire decks looks like a waterfall when it comes off the end of your pallet rack beam. If you have a stepped beam then the waterfall will fall neatly into that area which will give your rack-level a level flush look. Conversely, you can turn the waterfall wire deck over and create a ledge that can catch, to common sense levels, your products and give them another back up from the problem of them falling off your rack levels. You should always talk with your supplier to see if any of these are appropriate for your situation. If they are a reputable company then they should be able to help you through the process of figuring out what you need.
It is also a plus if you make use of plastic bins in your business. The wire mesh deck, if turned so that it forms a lip, will help keep the plastic bin on the rack. A problem that may occur sometimes if you do not have a way to keep them in place. You may want to use these plastic bins if you have smaller items that you want to keep on the rack levels. It is helpful if you have items that are small enough to pass through the openings on the wire mesh decks.
A waterfall wire deck option is a great choice for your rack. If you have small items then you can place them in plastic storage bins on those racks. You can have the waterfall wire mesh decks turned over so that you have a lip that will keep them on the racks. You also get the strength of a wire mesh deck which can hold upwards of 2500 lbs per level. Make sure you get your wire mesh deck from a reputable company that can help you through your selection process and the process of getting it up to code for your particular area.
