Punched Deck: Heavy-Duty Warehouse Rack Decking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Punched deck shelving<\/strong> is a steel pallet shelving that uses galvanized steel panels with evenly spaced perforations. These punched openings provide 50% open surface area, ensuring better airflow, drainage, and visibility\u2014all while meeting NFPA 13 fire and sprinkler codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineered for durability and strength, ProDeck50\u00ae is the industry\u2019s first flat, snag-free punched decking, with a load capacity of up to 250 lbs. per square foot (UDL)<\/strong>. It\u2019s stronger than wire mesh, safer for hand-stacking, and resistant to corrosion, impact, and dust buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
