Solid Steel Panels Of Industrial Pallet Racking Storage Systems Accessories
Steel panels are engineered in storage racking systems for extra rigidity and support having wide application cases. In selective pallet racks, steel panels can be utilized to create a heavy-duty shelf for both palletized and unpalletized cargo storage.
For mezzanine racking, solid steel panels are often used as the second flooring material for walking and storing. The reasons that solid steel panel is so popular due to their strength, fireproof, cost-saving, and long-time-durability.

In mezzanine racking system, steel panels are often galvanized with the required thickness and size. Compared to traditional plywood or solid wood flooring, galvanized steel panels can endure more abuse having longer life span. More importantly, steel materials have better fireproof performance which is an important consideration for many warehouse owners.
In standard pallet racking system, steel panels can be quickly and easily added into storage levels matching beam length in width. Several pieces of steel panels work together to complete one storage level allowing flexible material handling by men or by forklifts. Steel panels can be powder coated or galvanized as the following pictures indicated. With flat level, small hand-picking items can also be stored in the racking system that won't fall down.
To choose the proper steel panels for your storage system, surface treatment, material thickness and panel quantity for each level are major considerations. Measure the length of the beams first, then use the beam length to divide the panel width, you can easily get the necessary amount of panels for each level.
The steel thickness will be determined by the load capacity of this layer you can get advice from your supplier. Last but not least, you may still wonder about powder-coated finishing and galvanized surface treatment. Though both can provide smooth and strong storage layer, they have some differences that may help you decide.
Obviously, powder-coated steel panels offer you more color options that you can customize to your personal preferences like safety eye-catching orange or dirt-hiding grey. Galvanized steel panels are relatively expensive but have better corrosion resistance. The spotless and sparkling surface is perfect for products that require strict cleanliness and hygiene like food and medicine.
