Engineered for high-bay warehouses, distribution centres, and cold storage facilities across the UAE. Our decking systems eliminate pallet fall-through risks, allow versatile carton and split-case picking, and ensure strict compliance with international fire safety and building standards.
Manufactured from high-tensile cold-drawn steel wire with welded support channels. The open mesh pattern allows overhead fire sprinklers to penetrate through lower levels, maximising warehouse safety while keeping light levels high and dust accumulation low.
Formed heavy-gauge sheet steel panels designed for heavy point-loading, machinery components, oil drums, and uneven containers. Available in smooth solid profiles or pre-punched ventilation patterns that balance water drainage with flat shelf stability.
High-density structural timber, chipboard, or marine plywood panels recessed cleanly into step beams or secured via drop-in steel retaining cleats. Ideal for dry ambient warehouses, order-picking mezzanines, and general manual packing stations.
Improperly supported pallets can lead to deflection, structural fatigue, or catastrophic rack collapses. Gulf Racking & Shelving LLC custom-engineers each decking setup based on exact beam depths, span lengths, and product weight distributions.
| Decking Type | Fire Compliance | Point Load Support | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wire Mesh | Excellent (Open) | High with Channels | Zero / Self-Cleaning |
| Perforated Steel | Good | Extremely High | Low (Wipe Clean) |
| Solid Steel | Check with Authority | Maximum Flatness | Low |
| Structural Timber | Treated Options | Medium | Periodic Inspection |
Technical guidance for warehouse managers, safety engineers, and procurement teams selecting decking panels in the UAE and Middle East.
Wire mesh decking provides over 50% open surface area, allowing fire sprinkler water to penetrate through lower beam levels rapidly during an incident. It complies with NFPA standards and UAE Civil Defence regulations while improving ambient lighting and preventing dust accumulation.
Capacities range from 300 kg to over 1,500 kg uniformly distributed load (UDL) per panel, supported by integrated heavy-gauge channel reinforcements. Custom engineering is provided for heavy point-loads and concentrated pallet footings.
Yes. Our standard flared-waterfall, step-beam waterfall, and drop-in configurations fit standard box beams, step beams, and structural channels across all major racking profiles in the GCC.
