Five gallon pail heaters from Easy Rack are a perfect solution to improving viscosity.

One of the most popular storage containers that are used in the commercial arena is a metal or plastic five gallon pail. They are inexpensive to acquire, and incredibly useful for storing solvents, paints, glue and other chemicals. Some of these chemicals are thick and are difficult to pour if they get cold. 5 gallon pail heaters are a perfect solution to improving viscosity.

The bucket heaters are fairly simply by design. Think of the heater as a bucket inside a bucket device. The liquid filled bucket simply needs to be placed into the 5 gallon pail heater and then it will be kept at a pre-set temperature of up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit for as long as required.

One of the main advantages of the latest generation of drum handling equipment is that they have been designed to heat the bucket from the sides rather than the bottom. This allows for a much larger surface area for the container to be handled, and speeds up the amount of time that heating the content takes, it prevents leaks from the bottom of a bucket dripping potentially flammable liquids onto the elements of the 5 gallon pail and drum heaters, which could cause a fire.

Using a 5 gallon pail heater regularly to keep the liquid in a bucket at a temperature where it can be worked with is a sensible option that will help to minimize the amount of waste generated by a process, without compromising on the efficiency that staff are empowered to work with. Thanks to the clever design of the drum heater unit, and the levels of control given by the thermostat, the heating of the bucket is as even as possible, as well as being extremely safe.
Let the consultants at Easy Rack assist with your drum and bucket heating needs. Why not ASK THE EXPERT if you have any questions?

Bus Stop Shelters now include commercial lighting, solar power and LED lighting technology.

With the rising cost of oil, liability issues and ecological concerns, schools and individuals are turning to public transit as an effective means of transportation. As a result of this explosion in mass transit usage, bus stop shelters are becoming more prevalent. One of the main concerns that patrons express is the lack of protection from the weather that they face while waiting for a bus. This can largely be circumvented through Easy Rack modular shelters for the use of passengers while they are waiting.

What should I look for in a quality bus top shelter?
There are many things to consider when choosing the right bus stop shelter, and while many of these factors will be determined by the prevailing weather conditions in your area, others will necessarily come down to the budget available to you for providing the service. Some modular buildings and guard shelters are fully enclosed for more harsh environments and others have open sides for warmer climates. All models have solid roofs and wall dividers that provide shelter from the sun, snow and rain as well as seating for resting your weary feet.

What can I do to prevent vandalism to my bus stop shelter?
It is a sad fact of life that bus stop shelters and temporary pre-fab modular buildings are frequently abused by vandals, so choosing a modular bus stop structure that is resistant to vandalism is paramount. Easy Rack suggests using shatterproof glass and a minimum amount of furniture as a way of minimizing economic loss. The best form of loss prevention is simply giving people a good looking bus stop shelter or modular structure that instills pride and satisfaction to the community.

What maintenance upkeep do bus stop shelters require?
Bus stop shelter benches made of corrosion resistant aluminum are preferable to plastic or even steel systems, as they last longer, and despite the higher initial cost, offer a better long term solution to keeping passengers comfortable while they wait. They require less maintenance and only need an occasional power wash to keep them looking good. The same method of maintenance works well for tempered glass panels and the roof on any pre-manufactured portable building.

What is the best way to provide lighting at my bus stop shelter if I have no power available?
One of the latest innovations in bus stop shelters is commercial lighting technology and introduction of solar power and LED lighting components. During the day, batteries are charged up from the power of the sun, and then at night, this power is discharged for the lights. It is a very cost effective solution to providing security lighting and making users feel more safe and secure. Also, solar powered lights reduce construction costs by eliminating the need for convention power requirements.

Where can I purchase modular bus stop shelters?

Temporary or semi-permanent modular environmental enclosures from Easy Rack provide a self contained commercial modular space.

How do businesses satisfy environmental enclosure needs on a temporary basis?
Nowadays more and more businesses are turning to high tech methods of production and it has become increasingly important to isolate certain parts of the production process using environmental enclosures. Temporary or semi-permanent modular environmental enclosures from Easy Rack provide a self contained area within an industrial facility or other building where sensitive processes can be carried out safely.

Whether your company specializes in producing computer components that must be assembled in a clean room environment without dust or dirt, or you need to create an area where toxic chemicals can be used without the risk of escape into the facility, an environmental enclosure or clean room from Easy Rack is an essential part of your organization.

What is considered an environmental modular enclosure?
Basically, an environmental enclosure is simply an in-plant modular office within a building where the operators have a great deal of control over all factors that affect the interior. From specifying an optimum temperature through to setting ideal humidity and dust levels for a process to be carried out, an environmental clean room offers your business the best option for keeping sensitive systems running at maximum efficiency.

Certain business types require a much more controllable modular environmental enclosure in which work can be carried out. A modular commercial clean room that offers the ability to prevent any escape of chemicals is required when working with certain pharmaceutical techniques, while minimizing the entry of dust into components is a key way of improving the way in which delicate and sensitive electronic components are produced. Modular cold storage buildings are another good example of a specialty need.

What are some of the benefits of modular clean rooms over standard enclosures?
First, all of the sub systems such as air conditioning, electricity and water are built into the actual room, trunking is included within the walls, and they are designed to fit together with a good seal to prevent any air leakage. Secondly, these clean room units are modular in design which makes it possible to remodel or rearrange the clean room anytime your needs change.

Easy Rack is one of the largest suppliers of new and used pallet racks, including the innovative pallet flow racking system.

What is new in pallet racking material handling equipment?
Pallet flow racks are one of the latest innovations in bulk storage metal racks. These pallet flow systems offer a number of advantages over conventional pallet racks, and are being installed in an ever increasing number of warehouses thanks to the increased efficiency and space saving factors that they offer to owners.

What makes pallet flow systems so unique over standard pallet racks?
While conventional pallet racking systems require strict stock control to ensure that the oldest stock is used ahead of newer acquisitions, this whole system is built into the construction of a pallet flow rack, and you will automatically rotate your stock. Unlike long bar pigeon hole racks, your stock is easy and continually rotated with pallet flow racking equipment.

How are pallet flow racks constructed and how do they work?
The actual construction of a Easy Rack pallet flow rack system is a fairly radical deviation from conventional static shelving, and while it requires a higher cost of installation and purchase over other options, it provides a number of benefits in terms of the space saving and better stock control that it offers as standard.

Essentially, in a pallet flow rack bulk storage system, pallets are loaded and unloaded the end of the racks rather than along the side. Instead of standard mesh shelving, a system of braked rollers along a gentle incline is used. Once pallets are loaded on one end of the rack, they begin sliding along to the other end where they fill up the storage area. The oldest items are always next in line to be unloaded, and this ensures that stock is not wasted and new articles are always next in line.

A system of air hoses can raise the shelving storage racks up at one end to allow it to roll along the shelf until it gets into the desired location for storage. Once the item is in place, the beams are lowered to a rest position so that the pallet remains in place. The wheels that the loads roll along are contained within the beam, and require minimal maintenance, keeping running costs for the pallet flow rack system as low as possible.

Where can I purchase pallet flow rack systems online?
Easy Rack is one of the largest suppliers of new and used pallet racks, including the innovative pallet flow racking system. Our trained material handling consultants can answer any questions you may have or assist you with an order. Feel free to contact us online or by calling us at 281-342-0200.

Why not use a hitch lift from Easy Rack to safely and effectively raise and lower heavy objects in and out of your truck?

Do you find it difficult to load and unload heavy objects from your pick up truck? Especially difficult when there is no loading dock or a crane in place to carry the weight of the load. By attaching a hitch lift from Easy Rack to the back of the pick up truck, you will be able to effectively raise and lower heavy objects to the level of the pick up bay and be able to enjoy a much simpler way of loading than any alternative.

Back problems that have been aggravated by lifting heavy items are one of the biggest causes of time lost to industrial injuries. With this in mind, the hitch lift will allow you to enable staff to lift the objects that they need without using any effort that might result in getting hurt. It just makes sense to use a loading dock ramp, dock boards or a hitch lift to prevent injury.

Functioning in exactly the same way as the lift on the back of a larger truck, a hitch lift is a simple to fit and simple to use device that will make a big difference to using a smaller truck. A hitch lift can be fitted to a regular vehicle very quickly, and works from the standard power supply to allow you to lift up to 550lb of weight in a matter of seconds wherever you are. Once your materials are off the truck, use a industrial cart to move the items safely.

Easy Rack hitch lifts secure to a standard 2" receiver bar at the back of a truck, and can be fitted in a matter of minutes. A 21' long power cable connects the lift to the battery, which is adequate for almost all vehicles. The hitch lift has a pair of built in outriggers that enable the truck to remain in place, and prevent any instability that could cause the item being lifted or fall if the load were to shift.

A push button system raises and lowers the lift platform as required, and helps to make the lifting system as straightforward as possible. Although the quick lift is not as fast in operation as the larger systems that are fitted to full size trucks, it will allow for a much more streamlined delivery system to be implemented and reduces the need for a loading dock in order to lift heavy goods into place in the back of a pick up truck. Basically, it operates like a lift table for your truck.

Contact Easy Rack if you are considering installing a hitch lift or any type of material handling equipment. Operators are standing by to answer your questions at 281-342-0200. Let us know how we can assist you today!

Industrial drum heaters are designed to heat a standard 55 gallon drum quickly, evenly and effectively.

If a liquid is too cold, it may not flow properly, or adhere to a surface correctly when it is being applied, and this can cause huge problems in achieving the proper finish on a job. Volatile liquids need to be kept at the correct temperature, and the best way of achieving this, and maintaining liquids at the right heat is through the use of Easy Rack 55-gallon barrel heaters.

These ingenious industrial drum heaters are specially designed to evenly heat the outside of a standard 55 gallon drum without creating variation in temperatures. There are a number of different drum handling equipment and heaters from Easy Rack that are designed to heat the liquid to the correct temperature.

A normal barrel heater clamps around the outside of a standard 55 gallon drum, and a set of heating elements inside the unit provide a source of heat that can be controlled. Most 55-gallon drum heaters include a thermostat that automatically regulates the temperature that the barrel is heated to the right temperature. This helps with drum dispensing of any liquid.

The key difference between different drum heaters models is the range of temperature settings that they are capable of achieving. For example, if you use a 480 volt model that produces 4,400 watts it can produce extremely high temperatures up to 550 F. This high temperature is excellent for viscous liquids. For smaller jobs, such as 5-gallon containers, Easy Rack has 5-gallon pail heaters.

When using a barrel heater in your workplace, safety should always be one of your main priorities, and despite the various safety procedures that are in place thanks to the design of the heaters, it is still important to make sure that you pay attention to the heat of the unit, and are always aware of the risks involved with any volatile chemical. It is vitally important that industrial drum heaters are not used with liquids that create flammable vapors, as the elements can get hot enough to cause the gas to ignite and cause a fire.

Easy Rack sales staff can assist you in selecting the correct pail and drum heater for your needs. Why not give us a call at 281-342-0200 and let us earn your business? We welcome your call and the opportunity to serve you!

A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain spilled liquids.

If your business use volatile chemicals or oils in your business, then one of your main concerns as far as drum handling equipment goes is to reduce the possibility of accidents or spills. Aside from the costs and health issues associated with spilling volatile or expensive chemicals the major concern is reducing a risk of injury to your staff. Because accidents happen, it is important to put as many safety measures such as Easy Rack spill pallets in place to minimize the risk of release when a barrel topples over.

A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain any liquids that slosh out of a drum and prevent them from spreading across the floor. Any liquid can be captured in a reservoir under the pallet. There are a number of different models of spill pallets available from Easy Rack that are manufactured for various circumstances, although they all work in roughly the same way.

In general, the pallets need to be made from a non reactive material such as a plastic. Mostly, the material of choice is polyethylene. This is lightweight enough to be carried well on the fork lift, and can resist damage from almost any liquid that might be spilled as it is being moved around.

Depending on the kind of materials that you are moving around in oil drums, you can choose different Easy Rack spill pallets with various storage capacities for dealing with spills. From oil drum pallets that can contain just nine gallons of liquid through to much larger units that up to two full 55 gallon drums, and handle 120 gallons of spilled liquid.

The principal time when you will need a spill pallet is when drums are being moved around the workplace from one location to another. It is at this time, when the motion of the fork lift can cause a drum to topple over that it is most important to prevent spillage. Generally, it is not necessary to keep the drums stored on a spill pallet, as there is no need or justification for the additional cost in terms of a storage solution.

Why risk accidents when a simple spill pallet from Easy Rack can save you time and money. Hazards caused by accidental spills require tedious reporting and can erode a safe work place record. Let us carefully listen to you requirements and suggest the right solution for your needs. Operators are standing by at 281-342-0200 to assist you and to make the ordering process seamless. We can help you with all your material handing equipment needs and installation services. As a well recognized supplier in the industry, we have access to everything from modular building, commercial lighting equipment and any type of pallet rack or shelving unit you can think of.

Maximize storage space in your warehouse with drive through pallet racks from Easy Rack

Are you quickly running out of space in your warehouse?
One of the best ways of maximizing storage space within your warehouse is by implementing a system of drive through pallet racks available from Easy Rack. These drive through pallet racks are a great way to boost storage capacity without chewing up valuable floor space.

What are the drawbacks of a traditional storage system?
Traditional racking systems require large amounts of floor space for fork lifts to navigate between racks. These so called "fork lift alleys" typically are wider than a standard rack itself, which translates into less storage and more aisles. By replacing conventional rack systems and using Easy Rack drive through pallet racks, you can maximize available space and increase storage capacity.
How does a drive thru pallet racking system work anyway?
A drive through pallet rack system involves storing the pallets in a consolidated area. Instead of having fork lift aisles between the pallet racks, they are arranged against each other, and are then removed one at a time as required. While there are a number of disadvantages to this material handling solution, it represents the absolute best way of maximizing the use of warehouse space, and should definitely be considered by any business for whom limited room could present a hurdle to expansion.

What is the main disadvantage to drive thru pallet racking?
The main disadvantage of a drive through pallet racking is that only the perimeter pallets can be accessed at any time. This means that if your staff need to get access to materials that are stored in the middle, they will need to shuffle other pallets first. When considering whether to implement a material handling solution in your workplace, it is important to decide whether what impact it will have on being able to select different items on demand is more important than the space saving benefits that it will produce versus efficiency costs.

How do I learn more about drive through pallet racking equipment and installation?
Easy Rack, a Nationwide supplier of material handling equipment can answer most of your questions. The pallet rack installers at Easy Rack are friendly, knowledgeable and ready to earn your business. Want to talk to a real person? Contact Easy Rack today at 281-342-0200.

Are you expanding an existing storage area, or constructing a warehouse for the first time?
Chances are you will need some pallet racking. There are a large number of considerations that you need to make when researching pallet rack installation companies. Easy Rack, a Houston based material handling company has the answers and can help! From the layout to the actual rack systems that you plan to use, the whole process of installing the shelving and creating your storage area is a complex one that needs plenty of thought and planning before the first bolt is tightened.

What are the warehouse conditions of your facility?
A concrete floor is essential, as much of the pallet rack’s strength comes from the way that it is securely fitted to the floor, and unless this can be achieved, then the whole structure will be compromised. The floor must be flat, level, and solid. You need to allow enough aisle space in the floor area to allow easy access to the pallet racks with pallet jacks and fork lifts.

How difficult is it install pallet racks?
Pallet rack installation is a complex process because the weight that the rack will be required to support can be extremely heavy. It is essential that you produce a system that is completely square and level. A plumb line needs to be used in order to maintain the storage rack as a vertical section so that weight is properly supported. Making sure that all the beams and legs are properly secured to the ground at the same time as maintaining horizontal levels throughout the racks will prevent goods sliding around later.

Why not pick up the phone and call 888-776-3720 today for a comprehensive warehouse installation program.
