Product: The scope of this petition covers welded-wire rack decking
for industrial and
other commercial storage racks or pallet rack systems. It is
produced from carbon or
alloy steel wire that has been welded into a square or rectangular
mesh pattern. The wire
may be galvanized or plated (e.g., chrome, zinc or nickel coated),
coated with paint,
epoxy, or plastic, or uncoated ("raw"). Wire decking is sold in a
variety or wire gauges.
The wire gauges used in the decking mesh are 0.105 inches (12 gauge)
or greater. The
wire may be drawn or rolled and may have a round, square or other
profile.
Wire mesh decking is reinforced with structural supports that may
include sheet metal
support channels or additional wire or other structural supports. It
is produced to various
profiles, including, but not limited to, a flat (flush) profile, an
upward curved back edge
profile ("backstop") or downward curved edge profile ("waterfalls"),
depending on the
rack storage system. Wire decking may also be referred to as "pallet
rack decking,"
"wire rack decking," "wire mesh decking," or "bulk storage
shelving."
