Equipment loads
Point loads, contact areas and the rolling loads along equipment transport routes.
PANELWAY / DC SERIES
Panelway DC Series
Data Center Raised Floor Solutions
HPL-finished steel raised floors for equipment access and underfloor services. Select Vinyl for project-specific finish requirements, and airflow panels where the design uses underfloor air distribution.

01 / APPLICATION & SELECTION
Plan around the equipment.
Floor height
Finished floor height and the underfloor space needed for access and services.
Air distribution
Add airflow panels only where the cooling design calls for underfloor air delivery.
02 / PRIMARY FLOOR OPTIONS
Start with HPL.
Compare the panel models below for dimensions, loads and finish options, then choose the configuration that suits your project.

- Pedestals & stringersSupport arrangement and finished floor height.
- Project optionsOpenings, panel handling and airflow where required.
04 / PROJECT-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
Select what the project needs.
Coordinate airflow panels with the cooling layout, pressure differential, panel levels and structural loading. Cable grommets can help treat service openings.
AIRFLOW SELECTION
Coordinate the floor with the cooling design.
Use airflow demand, pressure differential, equipment layout and floor loading to select the panel. Open area alone does not establish delivered airflow.

PROJECT SELECTION / QUESTIONS
Raised floor selection questions.
Which finish is the starting point for DC Series?
HPL-finished steel raised floors are the primary option. Vinyl can be selected for project-specific finish requirements. The panel model and support configuration are chosen for the actual equipment and floor design.
Compare HPL product models ↗Does every data center floor need airflow panels?
Airflow panels are selected where the cooling design uses underfloor air distribution. Coordinate airflow demand, pressure differential, equipment layout and structural loading; open area alone does not determine delivered airflow.
View airflow panel options ↗What information helps select the floor?
Start with the area, finished floor height, equipment loads and finish requirements. Include contact points and equipment transport routes. Include any required test standards so we can identify the relevant panel specifications and reports.
