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.
