FM-approved after laboratory fire testing in accordance with standard 6914, Punch Deck open area rack decking from DACS can be considered equivalent to 70% open area shelving.
This enables its use in warehouses with sprinkler protection conforming to FM global data sheet 8-9, “Storage of Class 1, 2, 3, 4 and Plastic Commodities.”
The decking is offered in 24- to 36-inch widths. Also offered, Fluekeeper rack attachments keep stored material out of transverse flue space products.
Punch Deck combines the strength, functionality and economy of regular corrugated steel decking with the advantage of an open surface area created by a series of large flanged holes (more than 50% open area). These holes allow penetration of air, light and sprinkler water.
Punch Deck provides a uniform flat storage surface that is free of raised protrusions for easy product placement and retrieval.
Excellent for all types of material handling and warehouse storage, Punch Deck is especially suited for archive storage, bulk storage, retail point-of-purchase, furniture, carpeting, boxed items and bagged goods.
