Catwalk aisle decking is usually best designed using heavy duty steel bar grating. Bar grating allows for some of the building's existing lighting to reach below the catwalk level.
In addition, bar grating does not prevent the existing fire suppression system to reach the storage below the catwalk levels.
In many cases, solid decking will be required. We can design catwalk aisle decking using other materials such as b-decking, solid decking, steel decking, and even light weight concrete.
Heavy duty steel stairs used in catwalk rack storage systems are manufactured by several vendors including FCP, AMFI, and Ladder Industries. The design varies depending on the stair usage and system requirements.
Solid decking is an option for catwalk aisles. Solid deck usually consists of plywood on top of B-Deck.
Sometimes a combination of bar grating and solid decking can be used together to meet storage requirements.
Shelving companies generally manufacturer there own steel decking to go along with their shelving system, typically.
