Used Pallet Racks & Racking

Used pallet racks offer savings of up to 40% for companies that require the structural stability, safety, and organizational benefits of pallet racking systems. Used pallet racks are equivalent in quality and performance to new systems. A wide range of types and styles of used pallet racks can be obtained at significant discounts through an Easy Rack material handling specialist. Pallet racking systems can be standard or custom built according to environment, terrain, indoor or outdoor conditions, and seismic quality of the floor or ground on which they are installed.

To learn more about used pallet racks, pallet racking, material storage equipment or equipment financing, please review all the following articles:

Used Pallet Racking. Savings can range between 40-60% on used pallet racks—a very affordable option for companies who need functionality and have little concern about appearance.

Adjustable Pallet Racks
Adjustable used pallet racks by Easy Racks are available in used and new condition and are available throughout the United States.

Used Industrial Pallet Rack
Basically, there are two major differences. One lies in the method of assembly. Teardrop industrial pallet racks do not require bolts or braces to snap together and hold in place. Industrial structural rack must be bolted together and takes more time—and more money—to have installed.

Industrial Used Pallet Racks
Industrial used pallet racks are heavy duty racking systems used to support the largest containers and pieces of equipment. Unlike other types of pallet racking systems, industrial used pallet racks normally do not have wire decks.

Pallet Storage Racks
Pallet storage racks can give you a much more cost effective alternative to moves and expansion, and represent perhaps the one material handling investment that carries with them the most assured return on investment.

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.

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

Used Store Shelving & Display Racks

What kind of used store shelving do you sell?
We sell double sided and single-sided used store shelves. Double-sided gondola shelving is also known as aisle shelving because it is mostly used to create shopping aisles in the middle of the store. However, because ALL used store shelving displays measure a standard 48” across, a double-sided unit can work very well as a stand along display in the front of the store. Single-sided shelves, also used as end caps I in many stores, are very easy to fit into gaps along the wall and tight corners where larger display shelving cannot fit.

If my displays are dark, shouldn't I buy new light fixtures first?

No. Upgrading light fixtures is going to cost too much money. Instead, spend a portion of your budget on used store shelves that will allow you to adjust the height and width of each horizontal support. Because each shelf on a display rack can support 350 pounds without bending or buckling in the middle, you can move shelves around to let more light onto key products. Also, you can vary the depth of each individual shelf between 12” and 22”, allowing for light to “cascade” throughout the display from top to bottom and spread illumination over your entire product inventory.

What sizes and colors do you have in used store shelving?
All of our used retail store shelves are available in a wide range of colors. We have white, beige, gray, black, and off-white, just to name a few. Our most popular color is almond, due to its “low profile” neutrality that make it a perfect background for so many different product types.

What heights do used store shelves come in?
They measure between 48” to 84”. We recommend that you carefully study your own floor plan before you arbitrarily buy the tallest store shelf available. Instead, use the internal adjustability to get more out of the space within the shelf, and keep the exterior size of the storage shelf as small as possible. The more easily you can see over the tops of shelves, the easier it becomes to spread honesty around your store along with holiday cheer.

How do I know what types of used shelving displays to buy and also know how to arrange them in my store?
Ask your Easy Rack specialist about space management planning. If you are serious about considering our wholesale used display fixtures, then we are happy to suggest upgrades and improvements to your layout. Simply give us a blueprint of your floor plan, or take some photos and send them to our team. We can show you how to use store shelving in a “less is more” way that will minimize purchase costs and maximize long-term return on investment.

Industrial Scales & Commercial Scales

Industrial scales allow you to weigh products, raw materials, and heavy objects. They are a vital material handling tool in food processing facilities and fishing canneries. Pharmaceutical companies also rely on weight scales, and distribution centers are going to need at least one heavy- duty industrial scale to make sure that trucks are loaded—but not overloaded—to capacity.

Easy Rack industrial scales are made quick-connects and offer factory calibration that gives your facility an easy setup and user-friendly operability. We have four series models you can choose from. Sizes measure either 48” X 48” or 60” X 60”. Platforms can handle anywhere between 5,000-20,000 pounds, depending on the model. Standard models are coated with a lead-epoxy finish, whereas heavy-duty models are made from a stainless-steel platter that is covered with a diamond tread platform. Each weight scale sits on four adjustable legs and features 5,000 division load cells to ensure stability during any operation.

You do not need any accessories to install our industrial scales. Every platform comes ready to use right out of the box, with a 25 foot heavy-duty cable that plugs right into the indicator. High-volume facilities such as meat processing plants, markets, manufacturers operating multiple assembly lines, and foundries prefer to use our industrial scales because they ensure a quick setup and ease of use with no downtime or mishap.

Equally important as the capacity of any industrial scale is the measurement indicator that reads it. Without it, the platform does little practical good! Easy Rack offers four different monitor options for every industrial crane scale we sell. Our standard indicator -- EWI (economical weigh indicator)—comes with every scale unless otherwise specified. It is economical and provides an ideal monitor for most standard weigh operations involving livestock, trucks, and heavy-duty pallets.

The EWI can be used to measure anything from 10kg to 10 tons. It is also able to convert kilograms to pounds with a touch of a keypad. The LCD display is lit up by a backlight, so it is easy to read no matter where you place it. It printer and is hermetically sealed to ensure dependability regardless of the conditions. For very humid or rainy conditions, we also have a waterproof model we can install for you.

Even sophisticated indicators can be installed on Easy Rack industrial scales by request. Advanced, programmable indicators that offer dual platform capabilities, 40,000 external divisions, and an NTEP approved rating are often necessary in factories and other specialized industrial facilities. We also have spill proof indicators and precision count indicators that we can install on an industrial scale. Ask your Easy Rack specialist about these options.

Used Stack Racks & Stack Racking

Used stack racks allow you to utilize more space by protecting your products and equipment in contained structure. You can stack these racks as high as five units vertically, and you can store them when they are empty in spaces that are even more compact and efficient than that. Some used stack racks can even function as alternatives to more expensive and bulky pallet racking systems. Many kinds of used stack racks are for specific material types and material handling needs and most of them are also portable to some degree.

Load Nester Racks
These portable used stack racks and racking help prevent product damage and consolidate storage space. When fully loaded, they can be stacked three to five high if they are fully loaded, or they can be stored and/or shipped in tight, compact bundles. Load Nester Racks are made in many different models that will accommodate products of all sizes and weights

Stackable Tire Racks
The most popular tire stacking rack is the perforated deck design. While also expensive, this rack can be very affordable when purchased in good, used condition. It allows water drain all the way through to the ground, so if there is a fire, sprinkler water will not be blocked by the decking. In areas where fire codes do not require this, an even more affordable model is the type with a wire mesh dick. It is an excellent used stack rack to use for used tires or low price point tires.

Used stack racks for nursery plants
These stack racks are used for seedling protection during transit or mass storage. Powerful supports and heavy shelves allow them to stack 5 high without crushing seedlings. The unique engineering of each rack also encourages air circulations to keep plants cool and protect them from heat.

Rail Racks
These racks double the internal storage space of any rail car. One row of products goes under the rack, while the other stacks on top of the rack. Brilliant.

Shipping Racks
Shipping racks offer stacked storage and mobility to shipping –receiving operations handling sensitive materials, auto parts, and breakables. Most designs are made with sides that can fold down so they can be stored in compact, efficient stacks, and custom models can be built to stack 2 high during transit and 5 high in a warehouse.

Suspended Roll and Used Coil Racks
Suspended roll racks feature a core beam design that rolls up heavy material and keeps it off the floor. They can stack 3 high, and you can access them with a fork lift or a hoist. Coil racks are used to store coil (such as heavy duty steel) in the same manner. They too can be moved with a forklift and can stack 5 high.

Cantilever Lumber Storage Racks & Racking

What are some important things to consider when ordering cantilever lumber racks?
Cantilever lumber storage racks offer a very low-cost precision inventory control any business involved in the distribution of lumber or the manufacture of wooden products like furniture. They also help protect lumber by keeping it off the floor. It is also best to have cantilever racking custom built if you are storing lumber. You may be working with a wide range of wood types and varying degrees of width, length, and thickness of boards. Evenly distributed the load is an absolute necessity, because if the load is uneven, your cantilever rack will instantly lose 50% of its total potential weight capacity.

How can I make sure I calculate the capacity and size of my rack correctly?

We have charts and formulas you can reference, but it is not necessary for you to do all this math. Call us and describe your business, application, facility, and products in detail, and we will custom build a storage racking system for you.

Are cantilever racks better for storing lumber than pallet racks?
In most instances, yes. This is for two reasons. One, you have to stack lumber in piles on a pallet rack. Retrieval and inventory are much more difficult when lumber is stored on a flat surface than on the cradle that cantilever arms provide. Secondly, cantilever lumber racks can be built very tall and no nearly as deep as pallet racks. This is ideal for space saving in cramped quarters.

Are there other benefits to storing lumber on cantilever racks?
Yes. Keeping lumber off the floor minimizes the risk of it being damaged by material handling equipment and forklifts. It also prevents people from tripping over the lumber. Secondly, in many states such as the Gulf Coast region, even the interior of the warehouse can be very hot and humid. Stacking lumber near bay doors that constantly open and close exposes wood to humidity and heat. Lifting it higher and nearer to HVAC ducts can cool it down and keep it drier, provided the facilities HVAC system is built in this fashion.

What type of cantilever rack works best for storing lumber?
The structural rack is the type we recommend. It is ideal for heavy duty applications and provides maximum column strength and supportive bracing. Almost all structural cantilever systems are made using structural columns and bases, roll-formed arms, horizontal bracing, and X-Bracing that reinforce the backs of the unit. We strongly recommend all storage racks be bolted to concrete bases if used outside or the concrete floor of the warehouse if used inside. Single-sided and double sided systems are both available. Call us today to see what works best for your space management, storage, and inventory control process flow.

Traffic Barricades & Crowd Control

What types of traffic barricades do you sell?
Easy Rack sells traffic barricades in two basic designs. Poly cade barricades are made to resemble small “walls” that can be used to block off areas from people and vehicles. They can be used as standalone units, or they can be put together in tandem to make an artificial wall spanning a roadway, runway, or entire parking lot. Larger barrier traffic barricades are barrels that are constructed from special materials that can be filled with sand, gravel, or even water to make them heavy and resistant to large vehicle impact.

How can these traffic barricades be used?
They can be used to control both vehicle and human foot traffic in almost any public or commercial space. We see them almost every day in parking lots and roadways under construction. We also see them used to block off areas where hazardous materials are stored. Chemical companies typically use some sort of traffic barricade to prevent people and equipment from being damaged by exposure to dangerous materials and industrial bi-products. Many forms of machinery in large factories can also be potentially unsafe if untrained employees, clients, or visitors to the factory get to close.

Amusement parks frequently use orange traffic barricades to keep underage children away from areas intended only for adolescents and adults. In the material handling industry, some of our biggest poly cade traffic barricade customers are construction companies. These companies often buy large numbers and various sizes of both types of traffic barriers to actually create traffic control pathways on construction sites.

Because they are used much more outside than inside facilities, traffic barricades and post protectors are rust proof and UV resistant, making them both rain and sun proof as much as current technology permits.

What colors and sizes do these traffic barricades come in?
Orange traffic barriers are the brightest and most visible choices, and they are made even more visible to people by means of reflective striping that works as a mirror to natural and artificial light. In some settings the bright orange and silver color, however, looks unsightly. If you are setting up traffic control for a public official’s motorcade, for example, you don’t him or her to have the red carpet treatment, not the orange barrel treatment on the way to the speech. A granite or white barrier is more appropriate for such an event.

Other areas that often prefer traffic barricades in granite or white colors include corporate headquarters, public universities, libraries, and parks. Construction companies typically prefer orange or yellow as these are industry-standard safety colors.

How big are your traffic barricades?
Smaller poly cade traffic barriers can be as small as 70 lbs., while larger barrel barricades can be as heavy as 3,000+ when filled with sand. We will help you choose the right style, size, and filler if necessary, so do not hesitate to ask for advice from our team of specialists.

Grocery & Convenience Store Shelves

You only need two basic types of grocery store shelving to upgrade your displays.
Creating more aisles space is simpler and more efficient when you use display units that are compact and adjustable. Double-sided grocery store shelving lets you do this. Measuring only 48” across, these units snap together and lock, creating an aisle of any length that runs vertically or horizontally through your grocery store. You can buy taller shelving for groceries, and then buy smaller shelves that can be arranged perpendicular to the main aisles where seasonal products, pharmaceuticals, and magazines can be displayed.

These grocery store shelves are adjustable, and they allow you to store more products on displays that may be shorter in height, but offer more total cubic space and weight capacity.
You see, each shelf can hold 350 pounds and can be moved to any position on the top, middle, or bottom of the rack. This lets you put larger, more expensive items at eye level to catch the attention of shoppers. To overcome the tendency of top shelves to block light from items at the bottom of the rack, you can vary the depth of each storage shelf as well. This allows for evenly distributed illumination to reach all product labels and show them in full color without any dark spots obscuring their legibility.

No doubt you also have some gaps in your wall displays that other grocery store shelving you have considered is too large to fit. This results in wasted space that could be used to showcase valuable merchandise. The importance of making the most of every square inch of wall space is very significant to grocer’s who own small, neighborhood food stores. Any wasted area can be a missed opportunity for a sale.

You can overcome this will single-sided grocery store shelves that can be fit into pesky corners that are gathering dust, or squeezed between the space between refrigerator units and side doors. This is because our wall shelves are much smaller than those of many of our competitors. Like their double-sided equivalents, they only measure 45” across and are very lightweight when empty. It takes only minutes to slide them into a new spot to run a special or put up special Christmas items for holiday sales.

Because each shelf can support 350 pounds of weight and can be moved to any vertical position within the display, heavier items can be safely moved to the top where they have a better chance of catching a shopper’s attention. Also, being able to vary the depth of these commercial shelves adds even more power to the presentation, because by varying shelf depth one can see to it that every row of products gets an equal amount of light without any shadows obscuring labels, prices, or colors. An added benefit these units give you is the ability to save money on standard end cap displays. You can simply buy a few extra, used single-sided grocery store shelving displays and place them at the end of the aisles. Many different colors such as almond, gray, white, and beige can be purchased from Easy Rack to instantly grab the attention of shoppers coming into your store.
