Furniture Storage in Rack

Furniture storage in rack can be especially challenging when dealing with different product characteristics such as shapes, sizes and commodities. Punch Deck, along with its counterpart Punch Deck® Plus, provide a great solution for storing furniture inside of warehouse racks where sprinklers are present. While solid shelving offers a smooth surface, it may not meet Fire Code. In case of a fire, Punch Deck’s 50% open design allows for water penetration from the overhead or in-rack sprinkler system. This product is offered in a wide range of rack shelf sizes and is perfect for storing items with legs such as furniture, equipment with wheels, and point-load objects. This product is easy to install and has a beautiful finish that requires little maintenance.

Furniture Commodity Classification for High Piled Storage

Furniture commodities of wood, natural fiber, upholstered, and non-plastic are typically Class III commodity. Class III furniture consists of wood, paper, natural fiber cloth, Group C plastics or similar products, with or without pallets. As per the California Fire Code, products can contain limited amounts of Group A or B plastics, such as wood or metal furniture with plastic-padded and covered armrests. On the other hand, plastic upholstered furniture, as well as wood or metal furniture with plastic covering and padding are typically considered Class IV commodity.
