Used Store Racks & Display Shelves

My store shelves are warped and damaged, but I cannot afford new displays.
You can save up to 40% by investing in used new or used store display shelves. Easy Rack offers a full array of colors and sizes needed to fully equip you with the very best possible presentation tools. Our goal is to help you improve the look and feel of your showroom without costing you an arm and a leg. Less can be done with more, as they say, because the whole point of this is not to spend a lot of money on a lot of displays, but rather spend enough money on the right kind of displays that will enable you to add, remove, and change layouts at will. Using store display shelves by Easy Rack will give you more options, more economy, and more versatility this Christmas and on into New Years.

Will your used display shelves guarantee me more sales?
No one can guarantee anyone sales in this economy, but we can reasonably assure you that the quality of our used retail store display shelving will certainly attract attention and motivate people to consider making a purchase. .

What standard sizes do you sell?
Used store shelves are sold in heights ranging from 48” on up to 84”. There are double-sided store displays used for aisle shelving, and there are single-sided displays, used for wall shelving. All units share the common width of 48” to make them easier to fit together, and to also make them easier to move around if you want to change your store layout.

Many store owners often use both double-sided grocery shelving and single-sided retail shelving as standalone units. The many applications you can use these store display shelves for are as limitless as your imagination.
You can place shelving displays in corners, beneath windows, just inside the door, and even outside for sidewalk sales. Locking these shelves together lets you custom build any length of aisle or wall shelving you wish, making Easy Rack store fixtures a perfect too for space utilization and consolidation.

How adjustable are used display shelves?
They are very adjustable, being designed to let you increase the cubic volume of each individual display unit. By moving shelves up and down, you can place larger items near the top. This will not warp the shelves, either, because they are sturdy enough to hold up to 350 pounds. The depth of every display shelf can also be adjusted between 12” and 22”, allowing more light to reach products on the bottom obscured by shadows. This is another way to get maximum use of your store shelving displays and catch the attention of this season’s very cautious and frugal buyer.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of used pallet racks, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting,and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Pallet Rack Dealers & Designers

Easy Rack is a nationwide pallet rack dealer dedicated to providing custom material storage solutions to warehouses and distribution centers. Our intention is to design a system that is tailor-made to your operation and that is in full compliance with all regulatory and safety codes. We are also a pallet rack dealer who wants to make our solutions cost effective to clients who are looking to increase their profit margins by lowering the cost of materials and operations.

Unlike many pallet rack dealers that represent only 2 or 3 manufacturers, Easy Rack has strong vendor ties to 10 major players in the manufacturing world. This allows us to recommend any number of pallet rack styles to our clients. We sell industry-standard Teardrop Rack, structural steel pallet racks, drive-in rack, and push-back racks, just to name a few.

Easy Rack pallet rack design professionals take a consultation-based approach to sales. This is very important, because so many of the manufacturers, distributors, and warehouses we service have very unique needs that require a great deal of customization to meet. This requires us to learn a great deal about your company and industry type in order for us to build you a design you a system that truly fits your footprint. Live representatives will work with you over the phone to gather basic information. If you are a remote client, you can then send us more detailed specifications remotely via fax or email.

Once we have all the necessary data, we will begin to design your pallet racking system. All design work is performed in-house by material handling experts who are also trained in the use of advanced 3-D modeling software. Design models are developed and double checked for safety and process flow specifications. Once your final design has been drawn up and you have authorized it, we will then have the manufacturer build the system according to our design. Pallet racks are then double-checked once more, then directly shipped from the manufacturer to your location.

Easy Rack is also willing to work as a direct interface with local customers who need a used pallet rack dealer representative to come to their facility. In many parts of the country, clients can contact our office and schedule an on site visit from one of our material handling experts. We can take measurements of your facility in person and develop your storage system in person.

Regardless of your location, our basic approach to used pallet racking design ensures the same quality of results at the end of the day. We are a dealer committed not only to providing an effective storage solution that will meet your needs and improve your operations, but also to designing you a storage rack that will create a bigger budget by improving your space management across the board. We find that well over 60% of our clients on the verge of a costly move can avoid that cost and remain in their current facility simply by converting their vertical cube space into storage space.

Commercial Pallet Rack Beams

Easy Rack has many types of pallet rack beams made to accommodate a range of load requirements found in all sorts of industries. Selective pallet rack beams are available in the branded Mecalux style and the industry standard teardrop style. (The Mecalux style also works with Teardrop systems).

Our pallet rack beams can be adjusted on 2” centers and are sold in three different options. We sell one-piece units called step beams. We also sell JN beams, and we sell Z beams that are commonly used for building picking levels.

As previously noted, our most popular pallet rack beams design are those in the Tear Drop Design. They measure from 48” to 144” in length. Length and thickness determines weight capacity. Safety factors conform to current RMI standards. We recommend that if you use a single piece pallet rack beam that measures more than 108”, you should add an extra lateral support at the mid span point.

Another new and very popular design is the Easy Rack Ergo Pallet Beam. It has repeatedly proven itself to increase worker productivity while simultaneously reducing worker injuries.

It is manufactured from 4” of structural steel channel, which is far more resistant to damage than rolled steel. We have found that in 90% of impact-related accidents, structural steel beams can remain functional while repairs are being made in the meantime. Ergo beams are made to accommodate standard 48” X 40” pallets and can also be used with standard pallet supports. These units are sold by Easy Rack in three different model options as follows:

Standard- Channel flanges face inward and provide a comfortable surface for cartons.
Channel Flange Out- This protects bar-code labels from damage.

Label-Ergo Beam- Features a smooth surface and a 1/8” recessed web that prevents label damage.

The best thing about these pallet rack beams is they give you easy access to cartons that are hard to reach on lower shelf levels. This is because they create openings between pallet locations so order pickers can enter and reach rear cartons without causing damage.

This has reduced breakage of products in almost every business that has switched to using this type of pallet rack beam. In so many ways, it has proven itself the ideal solution for warehouse workers because of the way it splits the front shelf beam into two separate curved beams that attach to the rear horizontal.

In the case of companies with operations that consist of light loads that have little risk of product damage or injury, a great way to save money is to buy used pallet rack beams. Used Tear Drop models can be purchased in lengths anywhere 51”-153” in length. Because they are used, we cannot guarantee weight capacity, which is why we recommend you use them only when there is minimal risk to products and worker safety.

Pallet Rack Beams
Easy Rack has an extensive range of pallet rack beams that are designed to accommodate the diversity of load requirements found throughout the many different storage facilities we serve. Selective pallet rack beams can be ordered in the branded Mecalux style or the industry standard teardrop style. (One thing to keep in mind about the Mecalux style is it will also work with Teardrop systems).

Pallet rack beams are adjustable on 2” centers and come in three different options. They can be one piece units, called step beams. They can be JN beams, or they can be Z beams, commonly used for building picking levels.

As just noted, the most popular pallet rack beam design is the Tear Drop Step Beam. These range in length from 48” to 144”. Naturally, length and thickness determines weight capacity. Each beam’s safety factor conforms to current Rack Manufacturer Institute standards. Capacities are based on the even distribution of load throughout the beam. Single piece pallet rack beams that measure more than 108” long might have to have extra lateral support placed at the mid span point. (We recommend doing this).

Another design that is growing in popularity is the Easy Rack Ergo Beam. This pallet rack beam design has been repeatedly proven to increase worker productivity while simultaneously reducing worker injuries.

It is made from 4” of structural steel channel. Structural steel is far more resistant to damage than rolled steel. In 90% of impact-related accidents, these beams can remain functional and operations can continue while repairs are being made in the meantime. Ergo beams are intended to accommodate standard 48” X 40” pallets and can also be used with standard pallet supports. Manufacturers make these units in three different model options as follows:

Standard- The channel flange faces inward to provide a comfortable surface for cartons.
Channel Flange Out- The exterior flanges protect bar-code labels from being damaged
Label-Ergo Beam- this has a smooth surface and a 1/8” recessed web that prevents label damage.

The great thing about these commercial pallet rack beams is they provide such easy access to hard to reach cartons on lower shelf levels. This is because Ergo Beams create openings between pallet locations so an order picker can approach and comfortably reach the cartons in the rear.

This has reduced product breakage in virtually every business that has switched to using this type of pallet rack beam. Businesses are very happy due to the money this saves them on inventory replacement costs. In many ways, it has proven to be the best solution for warehouse workers because of the way it splits the front shelf beam into two separate curved beams that attach to the rear horizontal.

The opening this creates allows for plenty of room for order pickers to safely and efficiently access cartons in either the front or rear pallet with minimal risk of worker injury.

Finally, for companies whose operations consist of light loads with minimal risk of product damage or worker injury, one great way to save money is to invest in used pallet rack beams. Used Tear Drop beams can be bought that range anywhere from 51”-153” in length. Because they are used, there is no way to guarantee weight capacity, which is why we recommend they be used only when minimal risk to products and human safety are assured to begin with.

Commercial Racking & Structural Pallet Racks

Pallet Rack System
Pallet rack systems are material mass storage units intended to store palletized products. Pallet racks can either be built inside a warehouse, or they can be constructed in yards for specific outdoor uses. Many different design styles exist, each one made for specific storage environments and content requirements.

Although pallet racks systems can vary widely in size and design build, every system is constructed built using three basic types of components: uprights, beams, and wire deck. The weight capacities and structural strength of these components ultimately determine the build, structure, and function of the pallet rack they are used to construct.

Uprights
Upright frames are large verticals that form the structural frames of pallet racking systems. They determine how tall and how deep the unit. Each upright has two tall beams and all the necessary components that connect them together. Frame sizes range from 72" to 192" high. Some custom racks are even larger. Pallet rack depths will range anywhere from 36" to 48". Every system needs to be built with a minimum of two upright frames.

Beams
Beams are horizontal components affixed to the upright vertical frames. Easy Rack beams are made for safe and easy installation. Systems can be built with any number of beam sizes and duties. When these capacities are proportionally calculated in reference to upright capacities, a pallet racking system can be built for a specific warehouse, particular product, and specific operation. Add-ons can be used to further customize any pallet rack system to make it a truly custom solution to your unique operational and storage requirements.

Wire Decks
Not every pallet rack system uses wire deck. Structural steel is considerably stronger and is preferred for the most heavy-duty pallet racking. However, less intensive weight requirements can be accommodated just as effectively with wire decks. Wire decks are sometimes even required by municipalities with strict fire codes that mandate that no equipment be allowed to block the water from sprinkler systems. The cost benefits of reducing potential fire damage represent both preventative maintenance and possibly a reduction of insurance rates should your insurance carrier offer discounts for safety measures such as fire prevention.

There are many different pallet rack system design styles, each of which offers its own unique features, advantages, and benefits to specific storage environments and material handling applications. The most popular pallet rack system is the teardrop design, which has become virtually an industry standard in most warehousing environments. It is a very versatile design featuring a standardized “teardrop” connection that allows uprights and crossbeams made by different manufacturers to be interchanged at will.

Structural pallet rack systems are the true draft horses of the material storage world. These large, powerful units are normally bolted together. Very large structural rack built directly into the side of a building a the time of new construction.

Other designs by Easy Rack include Speed Rack, Sturdibilt, Ridg-U-Rac. Custom new and used models are available throughout the Continental United States.

Structural Pallet Racks & Racking

Structural pallet racks from Easy Rack are made of structural steel that is manufactured with reinforced channel corners and thicker steel columns. In the event of an accidental impact, it can far more resistant to damage than rolled steel. Structural pallet racks also feature a sturdier, bolted construction design and are welded together with AWS-certified criteria.

Three of our more popular types of structural pallet racks are the SelecDeck, the Drive-In/Drive-Through, and the Glide-In “Push Back” systems.

SelecDeck Case Flow Systems
Typical gravity case rack often can cause a number of problems on a warehouse floor. Tracks and wheels will fall off, and the entire operation has to temporarily shut down as crews scramble to conduct repairs. The SelecDeck Structural pallet rack prevents this sort of downtime with a superior case flow design that features a number of advantages over standard models.

The wheels on this design are much larger, wider, and stronger than they are on traditional models. The axles are also made differently. Steel shelf beams work to support to the entire module, making it more stable and rigid. Customized wheel beds offer a good deal more flexibility when slotting products, and the absence of slotting limitations makes it unnecessary to add more tracks during re-profiling.

Drive In / Drive Through Structural Pallet Rack.
Warehouses prefer this pallet rack design when they have to make use of every square inch of horizontal floor space and vertical cube space. Constructed entirely from structural steel, it features the innovative “Space-Saver Arm” design it provides the best in adjustability, durability, and safety required by heavy-duty Drive-In applications.

Glide-In “Push-Back”
This structural pallet rack offers the best features of the Drive-In rack combined with the selectivity of deep pallet racks. A system of wheeled carts that operate through gravity move pallets forward each time the pallet in the front is removed. Different cart designs can be special ordered based on height requirements and storage content.

Structural pallet racks offer some of the best benefits you can expect from any material storage product, including the following:

Long-Term Cost Savings
Longer product lifetime results from the damage-resistant nature of structural steel. This simplifies pallet rack designs, repair costs and replacements costs and generates ROI in the form of fewer services calls and purchase orders.

Damage resistance means less frequent downtime.
When it a rack is hit, even if it is damaged, it will still retain 90% of its load capacity. In most instances, your operation can continue as normal while the structural units are repaired.

Easy Rack Two-Year Warranty
In the event of worst case scenario product failure, our two-year warranty offers beam and upright replacement as covered per the terms of the warranty.

Easy Rack sells new and used structural pallet racks, uprights, and beams throughout the United States. Used rack can cost up to 40% less than new rack—a considerable savings when you consider the additional cost savings inherent to structural steel.

Our sales begin with customer service, as we aim to provide you with information on what best meets the needs of your facility and business cycle. We know that every company is different, and every facility unique. Our racking design specialists are trained to understand you first and pinpoint the areas where we can best accommodate your operations, cost reduction, and improved annual profits. By determining these things first, the actual selection of products themselves is much easier, and the purchase order more precise and efficient—just like your process flow will be.

Shelving Display & Storage Shelves

You can make quick, easy, and cost effective changes to your existing store layout with shelving display units sold by Easy Rack.
Our shelving display units offer you a compact design that is easy to move around and create all sorts of custom displays with. Measuring a mere 48” across, both double-sided and single-sided steel display units can be connected together to create aisles shelving and wall racks of any length and height. They can also be maneuvered individually into key spots where you can use them as special holiday sales displays. Larger, less symmetrical units are too hard to move in this fashion, and they seldom look very attractive, either.

Mixing things up from time to time like this takes only a few minutes when you use highly flexible, adjustable shelving system displays. It is also a great way for you do distinguish yourself from your less creative and strategic competition.

Easy Rack shelving display units will enable you to place your hottest and most valuable items in positions of prominence.
Because they are brightly painted in any number of colors, they are ideal compliments to your holiday decor. You can place them in locations you may not have previously thought appropriate for a display. For instance, if you have a store with two entrances on either side, placing a double-sided used shelving display unit directly between them can attract the attention of shoppers coming in from both directions. This is a great way to merchandise discount items and children’s toys.

You can also minimize loss to theft if you by the right shelving display units.
You may have previously bought shelving units that were as tall as possible because you wanted to display as much inventory as possible. You probably realized after the fact that many shoplifters took advantage of exceptionally tall commercial shelving display units and hid behind them while stealing. This can easily be overcome by replacing these units with display shelving that is shorter, but has more cubic volume due to its adjustable features. Easy Rack units allow you to move the shelves within the display anywhere you like, You can also vary the depth of each shelf to ensure that light reaches the display at all levels.

Space management and planning is the key to all of this.
During Christmas, you may not have time to think of all the innovative ways to use these highly versatile shelving units in your store. Easy Rack will help you develop a new merchandising strategy if you express serious interest in these products. Simply fax or email a blueprint or some photos of the store and we will be glad to offer you some suggestions on how to maximize your marketing potential in the hopes of recession proofing your business.

Easy Rack specializes in custom designs for used and new pallet racking so that businesses can get what they most need for the best price and return on investment. Each type of pallet rack we build can offer you different types of features, advantages, and benefits, depending on what industry you work in, how your business model is structured, and the current demands of your respective marketplace.

For example, if you own or operate a warehouse where you have to categorize a large number of pallets according to a wide diversity of individual skus, you probably should consider the very common—and very effective—conventional rack design. It will help you better categorize your inventory by giving you more organize storage space in which to systematically arrange a wide range of sku numbers. The conventional design also makes it very easy to access pallets by fork truck from any position on any aisle, so storage and retrieval is simple, quick, and safe. If you have a very small warehouse, we can build you a conventional-style pallet rack that is double-depth in nature and will allow you to store pallets one in front of the other.

If you run a distribution center that deals with perishable items that can only be stored for short periods of time, you probably need a system built according to the live pallet rack design. This style of pallet racking will allow you to both consolidate storage areas and get products off the rack more quickly without machinery or moving parts. It uses a simple, slightly sloping gravity-incline rack to move pallets forward when the pallet on the first row is removed. This few seconds of saved time eventually adds up to many hours of both product and profit preservation.
If you are in a commercial warehouse that has run out of space, then there are possible three pallet rack designs that can help you, depending on the exact nature of your business and length of turnaround time.

If you are storing large, diverse quantities of homogenous products that are grouped by individual type on separate pallets, and if your turnaround time is slow, then you will need a pallet rack design that uses every square inch of floor space as well as vertical cube space. We recommend the drive-in style storage rack for this, because it requires only one, possibly two, access points for forklifts to enter and exit the racking and retrieve pallets when needed.

If, on the other hand, you have a very similar situation but a HIGH turnaround, you will need a system that uses only one central aisle but still allows you access to all the pallets stored in the rack. This design is called a push-back heavy duty pallet rack because it uses trolleys and rails to slide pallets down toward the center rack when the pallet on the end is retrieved.

Finally, if you are operating a warehouse where you need separate aisles, but still need to adjust pallet racks into position, you need a mobile pallet rack designed with a motorized base that operates electronically either by manual controls or remotely via computer.

This level of customization of pallet rack design to specific applications is not something you can find just anywhere. You can find it at Easy Rack, and have exactly what you need built to specification by one our material storage and handling experts. Call us now.

Retail Shelving & Retail Shelves

Quality retail shelves offer you a better chance of making a great first impression on your customers.
Making a reasonable investment in sturdy, colorful retail shelves will immediately distinguish you from your competitors. Quality retail gondola shelving lets you put your best items in the most prominent locations in your store. Your Christmas displays will prove much more effective when presented in the most attractive fashion possible.

With only two types of retail shelving you can create any number of display types.
If you want to create more aisle space in your store, double-sided used retail display shelves are the best way to go. The single piece construction makes them easy to maneuver into any direction. Individual units themselves measure only 48” across—the perfect size for you to create aisles of any length in any part of your store.

Single-sided gondola retail shelves also measure 48” across. You can use them to fill gaps in your wall, create corner displays for special attention, or even stack against the end of aisles as end caps. Both double-sided and single-sided retail shelves are adjustable. You can move each individual shelf up or down the spine of the display, creating space for products of all sizes. To prevent top shelves from blocking lower shelves, you can adjust the depths of individual convenience store shelves anywhere from 12” to 22”. This allows light to reach all labels and products and ensure that they grab the attention of passing shoppers.

Your current retail shelving may be limiting the success of your loss prevention efforts.
Due to the need to push as much inventory out the door during Christmas, many retailers often assume that the bigger the display, the better. This assumption can result in the loss of thousands of dollars to theft. New and used rack shelves that are too tall give shoplifters too much to hide behind. Store employees cannot see over shelving that is more than 84” tall, and if ceilings are low, security cameras often cannot see all the way to the floor, either.

A much better alternative is to replace displays that are excessively tall with 72”-84” retail used store shelving racks that offer greater adjustability and a higher weight capacity per shelf. Easy Rack shelves can hold up to 350 pounds each, allowing the same amount of merchandise to be stored along a longer horizontal surface that still allows for employee and remote monitoring over the tops of shelves. Smaller stores like gift shops, flower shops, accessories stores, and boutiques really should stick with display fixtures that are no more than 72” tall. Larger grocery stores and clothing stores with higher ceilings can use racks that are up to 84” in height, but no more than that.

While this may seem complicated, it does not have to be. Easy Rack will help you develop an entirely new layout plan if you are serious about considering what we have to offer. Just send us a floor plan or pictures of our store and we will email or fax you are suggestions along with your quote.

Commercial Platform Scales

Platform scales help all kinds of industries make money by helping them make precision measurements quickly so the right amount of product and material can be moved out the door as fast as possible to distribution centers, factories, open markets. Stability and accuracy are the most important elements of a platform scale, and ease of use is a close third to save time and minimize mistakes. Having a stable platform that is low-profile, skid proof, and ready to use out of the box makes it easy to simply plug in the indicator and start loading materials to be weighed on the scale.

This user-friendly, out of the box functionality has earned Easy Rack platform scales a reputation for reliable, consistent performance in all sorts of arenas where every minute counts in the infamous time-money equation, and where simplicity is the name of the numbers game. This is especially true in round-the clock factories and distribution centers, canneries, meat processing plants, and foundries who use commercial weight scales of any type.

Easy Rack platform scales in any of four standard models that is available in two different material builds and two basic dimensions. If you are using your scale only to weigh industrial materials and components, then one of two heavy-duty pallet scales with lead-free epoxy will prove ideal for you. These platforms are the most heavy duty units we have and are built for crates and machinery. The smaller pallet scale measures 48” X 48” and can handle capacities of either 5,000 or 10,000 lbs. It features solid steel construction covered with a diamond tread safety pad. The larger heavy duty pallet scale also features a lead-free epoxy coating over steel, diamond tread safety pad and measures 60” X 60”. It can weigh up to 20,000 lbs at a time, and is ideal for distribution centers that have to make sure that every truck is loaded—but not overloaded—to capacity

If you are weighing food of any kind, you do not need as much weight capacity and must use stainless steel platform scales due to health and sanitation concerns. Scales intended for use in food preparation industries are stainless steel. Both the 48X48 and 60X60 models can weigh up to 5,000 lbs of food at a time---plenty of capacity for any type of food product like vegetables, meat, poultry, or fish.

Easy Rack platform scales are also incredibly accurate devices. Each comes with a standard, economical digital indicator that can measure weight in kilograms or pounds. A water proof model is also available, and more advanced programmable indicators can be installed on any scale by client request. If you are not sure which one to order, call our office and talk to one of our experts who will guide you in making the right purchase for your business.
