The most effective wheel chair lifts offered by Easy Rack feature ergonomic innovations that you would expect from a professional quality device. The standard wheel chair lift we offer provides smooth and powerful action that raises wheel chair users up to 36 inches at the touch of a button.

Residential wheel chair lifts from Easy Rack have all the required safety features. On operation of the wheel chair lift, a lip is automatically raised at the back of the wheel chair lift to prevent the user from rolling off backwards and potentially injuring themselves. The wheel chair lift will also stop automatically on descent if it detects that something is trapped underneath it, preventing injury to bystanders, children or pets. The standard load capacity of the wheel chair lift is 750 pounds, has a powerful 2 horsepower electric motor, and back up batteries to ensure operation in a power outage.

Although you may not have previously considered accessibility issues or wheel chair lifts in your workplace, existing and planned legislation is increasingly placing the onus on business owners to provide full access to their premises to disabled users, and this is universally applied. Aside from the legal requirement, there is also a moral reason for ensuring that all staff are treated equally by the business, and this should be just as important when planning your business’ disability strategy to comply with all of your requirements to ensure universal access to facilities.

Easy Rack sells Truck Cargo Bars to hold merchandise during transportation.

Easy Rack offer a wide range of different cargo bars designed to fulfill a number of requirements, and depending on the cargo you want to protect in transit, there is certain to be a set of bars that are precisely what you need. Truck cargo bars and hoops from Easy Rack are designed to fit across the width of a truck’s cargo area in order to prevent large objects from being able to move around during transport. The cargo bars are straightforward, easy to install and save driver's time and energy during deliveries.

Truck Cargo bars are all made to the highest standards and use high quality steel. The most basic Easy Rack cargo bars are a single adjustable spar of 1 ½ inch steel with a 4” square plate on either end to brace it against the inside of the truck. The cargo bars ratchet into position and then lock firmly into place, and thanks to the strength that comes from their 14 gauge steel construction, they will not flex or bend out of shape.

If you need a more secure method of support, particularly with expensive cargo, the E-Track system is perfect for your needs. This system features a rack that is fitted permanently onto the inside of the truck. Instead of relying on the tension in the bar holding it in place, with the E-Track system, your cargo bars lock firmly into the walls of the truck so they are unable to move.
Under circumstances where you need to be 100% certain that the cargo will not shift around the back of the truck during transit, the perfect solution is to use a set of cargo loops.

Visit Easy Rack to see more material handling equipment as well as our full selection of cargo bars and E-Track systems. We can be reached at 713-553-1122 or contact us online today!

Drum Carts Make Moving Industrial Containers Easy!

The cart easily rolls back into a horizontal position whereupon it rests on a set of heavy duty casters. The drum is then held securely in place by a cradle design. The ergonomic handles allow a single worker to transport the drum trolley safely, efficiently and securely.

Recycling hazardous waste products is now seen as being one of the most important factors for any business

Recycling waste products is now seen as being one of the most important factors for any business, and an auto workshop is no different from the norm. With both environmental benefits in the form of a reduction in the amount of raw materials required by industry, and a financial benefit in reducing the cost of disposing of hazardous waste, recycling is an important consideration for any business, and one of the most straightforward opportunities in the automotive service industry is an oil filter crusher. Easy Rack carries a wide selection of oil filter crushers which can prepare these otherwise bulky items for scrap metal recycling, as well as removing the waste oil for proper disposal.

By putting the oil filters through an oil filter crusher, all of the petrochemical waste inside it is forced out as the filter is shredded, crushed and compressed. All that is left is the metal that made up the unit, which can be recycled simply and does not require any special handling. The remaining oil is collected in a drum for easy disposal in line with the EPA regulations.

The cost of this recycling method is obviously much lower than alternatives, so over time the initial investment in an oil filter crusher for a workshop will pay off enormously. Why not start reaping the benefits of recycling, by considering a commercial grade oil filter crusher for your facility. Do your part for the world by disposing of these oily chemicals and scrap metals safely and correctly. Why create a bump in the road?

Let the experts at Easy Rack assist you with selecting just the right model for your needs by calling 713-553-1122 or contact us. We are here to help and welcome your call!

Aluminum Gantry Cranes Roll Into Action When & Where You Need Them!

Save Your Back - Call Easy Rack!

Are you constantly lifting, moving or hauling heavy items? Why not consider using an commercial grade aluminum gantry crane from Easy Rack. Aluminum gantry cranes are convenient and lightweight lifting tools that allow you to hoist an unwieldy item off the ground and then roll it to another location, or simply suspend it above the ground for service or repairs. Mechanics use hoists for lifting engines or for loading a heavy item into the back of a truck.

Gantry cranes are useful shop tools that have many different uses, and are sturdy enough to support up to 4,000 pounds in weight depending on their configuration and exact specification. Gantry cranes are also maneuverable and can easily be moved by a single person. While heavy duty enough to carry large weights, our aluminum cranes are also designed to have a very low footprint, allowing for easy storage within a regular workshop without taking it apart.

All of Easy Rack's aluminum gantry cranes come with four heavy duty locking and independent steel casters. That means they are easy to maneuver around the shop and can easily be handled by one individual. Lighter capacity aluminum gantry cranes come fitted with pneumatic tires, allowing for easy out door use. They move smoothly over flat terrain, and are completed with heavy duty brakes to keep the gantry steady when in use.

If you are in the material handling business, run a machine shop or deal in oil field components, consider contacting Easy Rack for all your needs. Specialists are standing by at 713-553-1122 to assist you. Thank you!

Fork Lift Extensions Provide Flexibility & Function To Any Size Fork Lift

Work Smart! Making the most effective use of existing tools and resources is the hallmark of prudent management, and this is nowhere more important than in a commercial warehouse environment. By investing in a set of fork lift extensions, you can increase the range of work that a single truck can perform.

Heavy and bulky materials can be extremely dangerous if moved with inadequate leverage or support provided by industrial fork lifts used with extensions. The first and most important use of these flexible tools is to increase the overall length of the lifting arms of the fork truck. You can add a maximum of 50% to the length of the forks, and this will allow your driver to carry much larger and bulkier loads with a standard forklift.

Extended forks mean that items that are loaded onto the truck are much more stable, and are a great deal less likely to tumble when they are being moved. By reducing the likelihood of items falling from the forklifts, you will be able to generally improve the overall safety of the working environment, and reduce the incidence of expensive accidents when items are dropped and damaged.

A wide variety of different fork lift extensions are available from Easy Rack, including specially shaped ones with either a circular or triangular profile. These extensions are designed to make carrying various loads much more stable. Rounded extensions ensure that hay bales and large rolls of material can be moved with ease, and effectively rule out the possibility of items rolling from a regular stock flat fork. With Easy Rack triangular extensions fitted to a forklift, almost any oddly shaped item can be carried securely with ease.
