ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 is the only internationally recognised standard for wire decking.

Approved and published by the American National Standards Institute, (ANSI) MH26.2 - 2017 prescribes the specification for the design, testing and utilization of welded wire rack decking.

The ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 standard applies to uniformly loaded (UDL) wire decking fabricated from welded-wire mesh, with permanently attached reinforcement, for use in storage racks. The standard provides definitions and establishes guidelines on materials, dimensional characteristics, design and fabrication methods and test procedures.  In addition, the standard provides guidelines for the application and utilisation of welded-wire rack decking.

Wire decking that complies to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 must satisfy the specifications relating to load, design, fabrication, testing as well as application and utilisation.

In summary, to comply with ANSI MH26.2 - 2017, wire decking must meet the following criteria:

• The load must be a static Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)
• The load (UDL) and performance of a wire deck must be calculated independent of the rack beams.
• The capacity of a wire deck should not be greater than the load (UDL) independent of the rack beams, at which structural failure occurs ÷ 2
• The wire deck should not deflect by more than the span of the rack depth (mm) ÷ 165 (With a load (UDL) independent of the rack beams).
• Wire decking should not be used for dynamic loads or point loads.
• Wire decking should not be used to walk on.

MantaMESH wire decking has been independently tested to comply with all of the requirements of ANSI MH26.2 - 2017.

Every MantaMESH wire decking Item comes with an item data sheet (available as a PDF) that includes the following critical compliance information for a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017:

• Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) rating
• Load at structural failure
• Allowable deflection.

A Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) for the utilisation of wire decking comes from the definition prescribed in ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 - the only internationally recognised standard for welded wire rack decking.

The definition of a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 is "any static load which is evenly distributed over the entire surface on the rack deck independent of the [rack] support system."

A graphic of a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 can be seen in the MantaMESH product configuration tool and the item data sheet available for every MantaMESH wire decking tem.

The item data sheet includes all Item data including specifications, product performance information and the following critical compliance information for a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017:

• Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) rating
• Load at structural Failure
• Allowable deflection.

The MantaMESH backing system is our competitive, easy to install modular backing system made in Germany and Australia. 

The MantaMESH backing system features a unique patented 'positive lock' bracket system and modular reinforced frameless mesh panels to control stock fall hazards (up to 25kg) and manage the direction of access to stock.  

Unlike other backing systems, the unique reinforced modular design of the MantaMESH backing system allows for easier maintenance and lower replacement costs.

The MantaMESH backing system is a trusted and proven rack backing system relied on by the world's leading intralogistics businesses.

The maximum capacity of wire decking comes from the definition prescribed in ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 - the only internationally recognised standard for welded wire rack decking.

For wire decking to comply with ANSI MH26.2 - 2017, it must be established at what load (UDL) independent of the rack beams does structural failure occur.

The maximum capacity of wire decking is calculated as:

• The load (UDL) independent of the rack beams, at which structural failure occurs ÷ 2

The load rating (UDL) for wire decking that complies to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017 is the lesser value of the maximum capacity (Load at structural failure ÷ 2) or the load at allowable deflection (Rack depth (mm) ÷ 165).

When purchasing wire decking to comply with ANSI MH26.2 - 2017, you should consider:

• At what load (UDL), independent of the rack beams, is allowable deflection reached?
• At what load (UDL), independent of the rack beams, does structural failure occur?

The item data sheet available for every MantaMESH wire decking Item includes the following critical compliance information for a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017:

• Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) rating
• Load at structural failure
• Allowable deflection.

An item data sheet is available for every MantaMESH wire decking Item configuration.

You can access the item data sheet (available as a PDF) by clicking on the green "item data sheet" link for every Item saved as a quote or order from the MantaMESH portal.

The item data sheet includes all item data including specifications, product performance information and the following critical compliance information for a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) according to ANSI MH26.2 - 2017:

• Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) rating
• Load at structural failure
• Allowable deflection
• The percentage open area. (NFPA13 and FM global)
