Proudly Supplying
When it comes to maximising your warehouse capacity, timber decks are a simple but powerful solution that instantly enhances storage flexibility. Designed to sit securely on top of existing pallet racking beams, timber decking creates a solid, durable surface capable of holding cartons, loose products, non-standard pallets, and bulky goods with ease.
At Ikon, we supply and install heavy-duty timber decking tailored to your exact load requirements, helping you get more from your warehouse footprint while protecting staff, stock, and equipment.

A Continuous, Solid Platform
Unlike open beams, timber decks provide a continuous surface that completely prevents smaller cartons, boxes, and loose stock from slipping through the gaps. This makes them the ultimate solution for environments that require stability in manual loading areas.
Cost-Effective Versatility
Adapt your existing pallet racking to handle a wider variety of inventory. Timber decking allows you to create dedicated pick-face storage for varied SKUs and irregular stock without needing to install separate, standalone industrial shelving.
Heavy-Duty Durability
Manufactured from high-quality, sustainably sourced timber, these boards are engineered to handle the daily wear and tear of demanding industrial environments while evenly distributing heavy loads across your racking structure.
Rapid Installation & Easy Maintenance
Timber decks are designed for quick installation with minimal disruption to your daily operations. If a section ever becomes damaged, individual boards can be easily and affordably replaced without dismantling the surrounding racking.
Timber decks are engineered to support a wide variety of loads, bridging the gap between standard pallet racking beams to create a highly secure, flat shelving surface. The solid, continuous nature of wooden boards makes them the perfect solution for heavy-duty cartons, unpalletised goods, and irregularly shaped items that cannot be safely stored on open beams. This robust foundation ensures your goods remain completely stable during loading, picking, and long-term storage.
Whether you are upgrading standard pallet racking, long-span shelving, or a bespoke storage configuration, timber decks offer unmatched adaptability. They can be custom-cut and sized to fit your exact warehouse layout and beam depths. This flexibility allows you to seamlessly mix bulk pallet storage with manual pick-face shelving within the exact same aisle, maximising your operational footprint without the need for entirely new racking systems.
Adding timber decking to your facility is a seamless process. The boards are designed for rapid, drop-in installation, meaning you can upgrade your existing racking system without suffering significant downtime or disrupting your daily workflows. In the event of heavy wear and tear or accidental damage, maintenance is incredibly straightforward—individual timber boards can be swapped out and replaced in minutes, ensuring your storage system remains safe and reliable for the long haul.

Choosing the right industrial racking depends on your stock profile, forklift type, and available floor space. Our expert team takes the guesswork out of this process by conducting a comprehensive, free site survey and space planning assessment. We analyse your daily workflow and inventory management to design a bespoke, high-density storage solution that maximises your capacity and efficiency. Speak to an expert today.
Yes. Beyond professional, safe installation by certified teams, we provide complete lifecycle support for your warehouse racking. This includes routine maintenance, rapid damage repair, and formal SEMA-aligned racking inspections to ensure your facility remains strictly compliant with UK health and safety regulations. Protect your workforce and your investment with our tailored aftercare packages. Explore our inspection services.
Lead times vary depending on the scale and complexity of your storage project. For standard stock items and simple industrial shelving, we can often provide next-day delivery. For larger, bespoke installations—such as complete warehouse fit-outs, heavy-duty pallet racking, or custom mezzanine floors—lead times typically range up to 6 weeks. We always provide a clear, transparent project timeline during your initial consultation to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
Absolutely. We understand that upgrading your commercial storage is a significant capital investment. To help you manage cash flow while still expanding your operational capacity, we offer flexible, competitive financing options for all our racking and mezzanine installations. Contact our team to discuss a budget-friendly payment plan tailored specifically to your business needs.
Under UK health and safety legislation, your warehouse racking must be maintained in a safe working condition. The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA) highly recommends that a formal, documented inspection is carried out by a technically competent person—such as a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI)—at least once every 12 months. Alongside this annual check, you should conduct regular in-house visual inspections to spot immediate damage. Ikon offers comprehensive, SEMA-aligned inspection and maintenance packages to keep your facility fully compliant.
In most cases, installing a mezzanine floor inside your existing warehouse does not require planning permission, as it is considered an internal alteration. However, it will always require Building Regulations approval to ensure it meets strict structural, fire safety, and accessibility standards. At Ikon, our end-to-end service means we manage the entire Building Regulations application process on your behalf, ensuring your new mezzanine is completely compliant and hassle-free.
The load capacity of industrial pallet racking varies significantly depending on the specific system, the height of the frames, the type of beams used, and how the weight is distributed. For example, standard adjustable pallet racking can often hold several tonnes per level, while heavy-duty systems like Drive-In racking are engineered for high-density bulk storage. To ensure maximum safety, load capacity signs (Safe Working Load notices) must always be clearly displayed. If you are unsure what capacity you need, contact Ikon for a free site survey to calculate your exact requirements.
Yes, absolutely. We do much more than just install new systems. If you are moving premises, we offer complete warehouse relocation services, safely dismantling your existing racking and re-installing it at your new site. We also provide certified racking repair services; if a forklift collision damages an upright or beam, our maintenance team can replace the compromised components swiftly to minimise operational downtime and keep your racking SEMA-compliant.
SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) is the UK’s leading body for safe storage practice. Their guidelines cover the safe design, installation, use, and maintenance of warehouse racking. Key SEMA recommendations include ensuring all racking is installed by qualified professionals, conducting annual expert safety inspections, promptly reporting and repairing accidental damage, and displaying clear load capacity notices on every rack. Ikon strictly adheres to SEMA guidelines across all our installations and maintenance services to guarantee the safety of your workforce.
