If the greatest concern is sunburn, then a higher UV factor will be necessary.

Canopy Tents & Outdoor Fabric Covers

2010-02-02T10:58:00.004-06:00

Canopies tents do not need a center pole and can be purchased with optional sidewalls. These shade structures are light in weight and provide shelter from the sun and the rain in a variety of environments and applications.

One example would be outdoor holiday festivals. Celebrations like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day so not always happen on days with perfect sunlight. Sometimes it rains at the worst possible times; at others there are no clouds and too much sun and your skin blisters.

With canopy tents and patio canopies you can protect the crowds from both extremes. Larger models made just for outdoor events are ideal for large groups who want to selectively enjoy the sun in reasonable safe amounts and still cook their hot dogs if it decides to pour down rain.

Another great place to use a fabric sun shade canopy tent is in your own back yard. There are many times you may want to host an event outdoors. You want your guests to be protected from sunburn, and you do not want a sudden shower to spoil the party for anyone.

With the proper canopy in place, your swimming pool can be shielded from the sun’s UV light. Your patio will be comfortable, rain or shine, for a family reunion. Your wedding reception a wedding can still be celebrated in all of its richness and joy. Beneath a canopy tent or playground shade with decorative colors and side panels, even on a rainy day, you can still take pictures and enjoy your time outside.

If you like to rough it in the great outdoors, by all means do so. However, do not risk of severe sunburn in a remote wilderness area where you are dozens or possibly hundreds of miles from medical help. Also, and avoid the risk of hypothermia than often result from getting drenched by the rain.

The body can lose 20 degrees of temperature almost instantly when it gets soaked by rain. This can happen even on a warm summer day. Smaller canopy tents and solar shades can be transported into any remote camping areas in mountains or on beaches and erected to shield the body from both sun and rain. This will not hurt the environment, nor will it limit your enjoyment of Nature.

Also, many commercial, municipal, and government entities routinely benefit from canopy tents that are custom made to their specific type of operations. Such organizations include:

· Outdoor media events
· Catering
· Trade shows
· Military recruitment
· Car racing
· Local sporting events

Deck Shades & Fabric Shade Structures

2010-01-20T12:36:00.008-06:00

What is a deck shade?
It is an outdoor, roof-like structure that covers a seating area or standing area that otherwise would be exposed to continuous, direct sunlight. A deck shade protects homeowners, guests, clients, children, pets, or plants from the heat and the ultraviolet radiation of direct sunlight.

What is a deck shade cover made of?
It consists of a shade portion that functions as a roof. This canopy shade is made out of a special fabric that offers powerful tensile and tear strength. Because it is flame retardant, it is also heat resistant. A galvanized steel frame, stabilized by corner bracing and brass plates, supports the deck shade. Panels can be added as options to the side of the structure, and optional plant hangers can be installed on the shade as well.

Who needs deck shades?
Homeowners definitely need them because so many homeowners sit outside on some kind of patio or deck throughout the spring, summer, and early fall. Kids and pets will be much better protected from heat and ultraviolet radiation when sheltered by one of these solar shades.

Businesses can also use deck shades to cover eating areas, break areas, and gathering areas. Rather than constructing expensive outdoor break areas, a simply canopy and a few basic benches can create all the comfort that employees need to enjoy a break or a lunch hour outdoors.

Restaurants and bars can increase their businesses by making it safe and comfortable to sit outside on the patio under a custom sun sail fabric cover.

Deck shades can cover anything from a concession stand at a sporting event to the seating areas where the fans watch the game. Trade shows depend on shade canopies to keep their booth areas comfortable for visiting professionals. Street vendors near beaches or sidewalks can use deck shades to protect themselves and their customers from heat and sunburn. Playground deck shades also provide protection for small children.

What if I only use my deck for plants?
Any deck in your yard that has potted plants certainly needs a deck shade cover. You may have assumed that plants live in sunlight and are impervious to UV light. This is not the case. It all depends on where the plant is from. A good many plants that we grow for decoration grow in the wild in places like forests where the tree canopy above them blocks most of the direct sunlight. Still other species thrive in cold weather climates or parts of the world where it there are more cloudy, rainy weather than they are to sunny days.

It makes sense then that if some of our most attractive flower and garden arrangements are that sensitive to ultraviolet light; they need protection prolonged exposure to the sun using a custom patio canopy. They may not need it to the degree that humans do, but they need it nonetheless.

Any poolside area also needs a deck shade. Without it, the reflectivity of the water will increase the intensity of light and the sunburn it ultimately will cause. However, putting a shade over the both the seating area and the water will minimize both. Tanning areas still be done in areas off to the side where people can get just enough sun in control doses without overdoing it and hurting their skin.

Easy Rack stocks a vast inventory of fabric sun shade structures, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Sun Shades & Shade Structures

2010-01-08T09:22:00.004-06:00

Are sun sails cheaper than other types of shade structure?
Yes. In terms of cost per square foot, they are the most cost effective shade solution on the market.

Are sun sails as stable as other shade structures?
Yes. You don’t want your shade structure blowing in the time or collapsing in the middle. The tension force of the fabric keeps the sail tight across its surface. The perimeter of the structure curves slightly toward the center to help maintain tension. Meanwhile, the edges are reinforced by webbing that goes all around the perimeter of the shade. Stainless steel rings fasten to this webbing to evenly distribute tension all around. When mounted properly, fabric sail structures retain their shape in the wind without sagging, flapping, or wrinkling.

What are the benefits and features of sun sails?
There are benefits that directly relate to human health in the form of protection against skin cancer. Other benefits pertain to protection against property loss caused by heat buildup. Still others, such as comfort and peace of mind, are more less tangible, although by no means less important.

Just a few benefits of playground shade structures include:

Protect human and animal skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun
Protects humans, pets and assets from heat damage
Sun sails can double function as protection against hail
Highly decorative sun shades create attraction factor for areas of interest
Can be mounted where full steel frame shade structures cannot be erected
Much more affordable than many other shade products
Can be used by homes, municipalities, schools, and businesses
Residential sun sail covers are easy to install
Designed to be maintenance free
Holds shape better than canvas and is resistant to mold and mildew

Where are sun sails used?
Sun sails are beautiful patio canopies and practical for a wide range of applications such as residences, swimming pools, auto dealers who want to highlight a special area of their store, parks, museums, etc. They can be adapted to awkward or unevenly shaped outdoor areas more readily than awnings, canopies or shade structures can be.

Companies can use sun sails as well to shelter employees who like to go outside on break. Parks use them to shelter picnic areas. Water parks use fabric sun shade structures as decorative covers over swimming pools. Many stores have mounted them over their entrances to attract and shelter customers with a flair of decorative protection. Parking areas can also be protected with sun sails so patrons do not have to touch hot steering wheels when they get into their vehicles to drive home.

Do you have many varieties of sun sails?
Oh yes. Call Easy Rack to see what color, size, and fabric material will work best for your home, business, school, or Municipal Park now.

Patio Shade Structures & Patio Canopy

2010-01-07T06:37:00.005-06:00

Why does a playground need a shade?
About 80 percent of a person's total lifetime UV exposure occurs in the first 18 years of life. Without some type of playground shade structure, a child is going to get sunburned. It only takes 10 minutes for this to happen. One blistering sunburn, prior to 18 years of age, can double the risk of a child eventually developing melanoma.

Without consistent playground shade covers, approximately 25 percent of all children who are under 6 years of age, and approximately half of all children who are under 13 years of age, will be sunburned to the point of blistering. Tragically, these statistics currently result in approximately 1 out of every 5 children in the United States growing up to suffer from (and often die) from some form of skin cancer later in life.

We have heavy cloud cover in our part of the country. Don’t the clouds block UV light?
No. 80 percent of UV radiation still reaches the ground. Keep in mind that only a fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to the human eye. Even on what appears to be a very dark day, the sun is still there, above the clouds, and UV light is still coming down on us. Patio shade structures prevent this kind of UV exposure.

What benefits do Easy Rack playground shades offer schools and parks?
Outdoor play areas are cooled down and protected from up to 95 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet light. This so drastically improves safety for school children that it directly contributes to the educational cycle, because with fewer painful sunburns, there will be fewer trips to the nurse for treatment. Also, severe cases of sunburn that often result in kids being sent home will be prevented.

Won’t these structures make our playground look odd or unattractive?
No. Easy Rack playground fabric sun shade structures are designed with aesthetics in mind. We can provide you with any number of styles, sizes, and colors that will compliment your school or park facility.

Can any other type of business use these structures?
Yes. Hospitals and outdoor athletic facilities also use playground sun canopies. Many hospital patients actually need to go outside for fresh air, provided they are stable enough to walk and travel to and from their beds with doctor supervision.

However, these people DO NOT need to get sunburned on top of whatever else put them in the hospital! Consider a hip n ridge shade structure to prevent this from happening.

Athletic facilities rely on playground shades to protect players and fans. The decorative nature of their design contributes the sense of festivity and ball in play.

Do you have playground shades for specialty parks and other public areas?
Easy Rack offers both standard and custom designs to specifically accommodate a number of very special activity centers. Municipalities use our playground double shade sail covers to protect their amusement parks, water parks, and zoos. Any area around water will have a higher incidence of sunburn due to water’s reflective capability, and zoo animals suffer just as much as humans do because UV radiation breaks down ANY type of animal cell—not just human.

Patio Canopy & Shade Structures

2010-01-04T17:06:00.004-06:00

What is a patio canopy?
It is an outdoor, roof-like structure that covers a seating area or standing area that otherwise would be exposed to continuous, direct sunlight. Patio canopies or shade structures are intended to protect homeowners, guests, clients, children, pets, or plants from the heat and the ultraviolet radiation of direct sunlight.

How large are these sun shades?
Patio canopies are made to fit almost any standard patio. Common dimensions include 12’ x 10’, 12’ x 20’, and 12’ x 30’ shades.

What is a patio canopy made of?
The shade portions that works like a roof is made of a special fabric that features superior tensile and tear strength. Due to its heat resistance, it is also flame retardant. The frame that supports the outdoor shade structure is made of 16 gauge 2 3/8” galvanized steel with exceptional stability maintained by corner bracing and brass plates. Optional plant hangers are available upon request, along with shade panels for side protection.

What types of patios need a canopy?
Any garden patio that is home to plants needs shelter from UV radiation. While you may assume that all plants are tough and thrive in direct sunlight, this is certainly not the case. Many plant species grow in forests where the tree canopy above them blocks the majority of direct sunlight. Other species deliberately hug vertical surfaces that provide shade for the majority of the day. Still other species in cold weather climates are far more used to cloudy, rainy weather than they are to sunny days.

Some of these produce some of our most attractive flower and garden arrangements, and due to their sensitivity, need almost as much protection from UV rays and prolonged exposure to the sun as human skin requires.

Any poolside patio can use a fabric sun shade structure. This is because the water’s reflectivity will increase the intensity of light. A shade over the both the seating area and the water will minimize direct exposure to the sun. Tanning areas can be set aside where people can control the amount of time that they lay out in the sunlight

What organizations need patio canopies?
Any home with an outdoor seating area can benefit from one of these amazing awnings, canopies or shade structures. Kids and pets with sensitive skin will certainly do better with UV protection they provide. Businesses can save a great deal of money on building outdoor break areas simply by erecting a sun shade over a few benches or outdoor lounge chairs.

Everything from concession stands to seating areas at sporting events will benefit from shad structures as well. Trade shows depend on patio canopies to keep booth areas comfortable, and a wide range of other business that merchandise products or services near beaches or sidewalks also depend on sun shades to provide protection from heat and sunburn.

The importance of protecting people from direct sunlight cannot be understated. Did you know that one sunburn prior to the age of 13 doubles a human’s risk of melanoma? Did you know that 80 percent of all UV exposure a person receives occurs prior to the age of 18?

Studies indicate that at present trends, 1 in 5 of children playing outside today will grow up to develop skin cancer as adults. Whereas in 1930, the chances of getting skin cancer were 1 out of 1500, today they are only 1 out of 75. Now is the time to act, because recent studies have shown that melanoma rates have doubled over the past 20 years.

But something can be done. Fabric shade structures from Easy Rack play a critical role in reducing skin cancer rates by reducing UV exposure up to 95%.

The fabric used in Easy Rack shade structures is superb in many respects. It features a strong weave that gives it a durable texture that is resistant to rough weather. Special treatments make it resistant to ultraviolet light, and many sun canopies are also fire retardant as well.

Outdoor fabric structures are used to create all sorts of exterior shade canopies. In corporate environments, municipal court areas, city halls, and schools, they can be stretched over sidewalks and patio areas to create awnings. Larger canopies can be stretched over entire open areas. In places where skylights are used, these sun protection screens can also be used as skylight cover to prevent harmful UV radiation from finding its way indoors.

Fabric shade structures have a widely diverse range of applications. They can be used to provide shade for plazas in downtown areas where people go for lunch breaks, outdoor events, and conversation. Fabric structures can shield they eyes of players on tennis courts so they won’t miss a crucial shot at the worst possible time.

Other athletic facilities use them as well to protect players in a number of sports, and to keep bleacher areas free of direct sunlight so fans can better see both the players and the ball in play.

Fabric structures can be stretched over parking lots to prevent car interiors and steering wheel columns from becoming hot to the touch. Car lots often use these sun canopies to keep new models ready for a comfortable test drive.

Companies often stretch large canopies over walkways between buildings so that executives in suits can walk comfortably in the shade without the heat ruining dry cleaning and makeup. Public parks normally have a sun canopy over pavilions so family reunions, outdoor concerts, and special events can be held in the comfortable shade.

Another very important place to stretch a fabric shade structure is a public swimming pool or water park. Water makes the skin very vulnerable to UV radiation. Keeping children and adults sheltered from direct sunlight while they swim is not only good medical sense, it is good public service.

Hand Pallet Truck & Pallet Trucks

2009-09-21T13:46:00.004-05:00

There are times that you do not need powered tools such as pallet jacks. Manual hand pallet trucks will perform just as well provided they are ergonomic and well-designed. They require less maintenance, and in many cases feature simplicity of design that ensures many years of use. Easy Rack sells a number of models that are designed for specialty applications, weight capacities up to 5,000 pounds, and durable construction to ensure years of reliable service.

Low Profile Pallet Truck
The low profile model is built with a heavy duty suspension system and lifetime lubricated bearings. It is easy to operate with a wide loop control handle that features fingertip control of lift, neutral, and lower functions.

Economical & Standard Ergonomic Hand Pallet Truck
Companies can save a great deal of money by investing in these ergonomic alternatives to forklifts. Built for user friendliness, this model features entry and exit rollers, adjustable push rods, and a spring-loaded handle that automatically returns to a vertical position when idle. Workers can pull them around the warehouse all day long without getting sore arms and backs because these pallet jacks need only 75 pounds of pulling force to function.

Pallet Truck with Scale
This innovative hand pallet truck lets you save a strip to the scales because it has its own scale built in.

Sidewinder Pallet Truck
If your warehouse aisles are narrow and hard to navigate, the sidewinder pallet jack allows you to efficiently move pallets in and out of storage. It has all the features of a standard pallet jack, and it features a capacity of 3,000 pounds and can get into even the tightest of places.

Manual & Powered Pallet Trucks

2009-09-21T13:06:00.006-05:00

A pallet truck is a material handling device that is used to lift and move pallets. The basic design of a pallet truck is simple, consisting of a frame, two rear wheels, and two forks with wheels located at the front of each fork. A hydraulic jack toward the rear of the unit is attached to the forks. When this jack is elevated, it separates the forks from the front wheels. As the forks continue to rise off the ground, the pallet is lifted off the floor. A locking mechanism is then activated to hold the forks in place during transport.

There are two basic categories of pallet trucks: manual and powered. Within these categories exists a myriad of individual forms whose variations exist to accommodate different operations, different sized loads, and special environments. There is no absolute advantage that one category offers over another. The relative applicability of a manual unit versus a powered unit depends on the environment in which it is used, the application at hand, and the subjective preference of the operator.

In spite of engineering and operational variances, however, there are several attributes that are common to all Easy Rack pallet jack trucks. Safe operability is the most important of these. Because these devices were originally invented to prevent the need to manually lift and carry heavy loads, it is imperative that the hydraulic jack on every type model we sell be quality assurance certified to perform reliably as expected. Jacks must lift pallets to the necessary height and secure the pallet in position with a sure locking mechanism that will not jostle loose if the wheels roll across debris, pass over an uneven surface, or find themselves outside on uneven terrain.

It is also necessary that all types of electric pallet trucks be easily maneuverable in all directions. The operator should be able to push the unit forward in a straight line without the wheels veering off to the left or toward the right. This requires some models to be manufactured with wheels that feature special traction and it means that all units, regardless of model type, are built with steering mechanisms that are responsive to operator movements and easy to turn on command.

Many newer models now feature special ergonomic startup mechanisms as well, such as the power drive accumulator that allows the worker to begin moving the pallet jack just by tilting back the handle. Other models feature special other specialized attributes such as galvanization for heavily polluted or salt-air environments, scales that allow workers to weight the pallets they are moving, gasoline motors built to move heavy loads of up to 4,000 pounds, and tubular design frames built especially for all terrain mobility.

When choosing a tilting pallet jack truck for a particular facility or operation, cost should not be the first factor considered. The cost of using the wrong tool for the right job can often be far greater than making the initial investment in the best tool for the job and improving material handling efficiency and employee safety in the process.

Used Retail Shop Shelving Racks

2009-09-18T13:45:00.005-05:00

You may be hesitant to buy anything for your shop this year because of this horrible economy. However, some things are necessary inconveniences simply because without them the presentation power of your shop will suffer. Display shelves are among the things you simply cannot ignore. Drab, warped, dented or chipped shelving can make even the most expensive, high quality items appear diminished in value. If you are looking to put a whole new face to the world, but are scratching your head over where you will find the money to do so, look no further than Easy Rack’s selection of used retail shop shelving units.

These high-quality units feature a high degree of versatility and can be discounted as much as 40% the price of new retail shop shelves in some parts of the country. Replacing worn store fixtures and replacing them with better, more resilient and presentable upgrades, can help breathe new life into your business and help your chances of getting more of a profit in spite of the current recession.

Used retail shop shelving can be used to create a variety of new and creative layouts in your store simply because it is so versatile and easy to manipulate. To begin with, regardless of whether it is a double-sided shelving unit or a single-sided display, each unit measures a standard 48” across. This width makes it easy to turn to one side or slide across the floor when the time comes to rearrange the floor plan. The actual shelves in these used retail shop displays are very resilient and strong. They can support up to 350 pounds in weight and can be moved to any vertical position within the rack. If you have been limited by your current display rack’s weight capacity and have been forced to put larger more expensive products on the bottom, you can elevate them now to a higher position and chance of catching the attention of the shopper.

If you have a very small shop you may be leasing space in a suite with old fluorescent panel lights that produce very limited levels of illumination. Since the light travels straight down, your current display steel shelves may be preventing it from reaching products on the lower portion of the rack. This can be fixed very easily by using our adjustable retail shop shelving instead. Each shelf can not only be vertically repositioned, but its actual depth can be changed to any length between 12” to 22”. This will allow you to stagger the shelves slightly so light gets to all of your products.

Used retail shop shelves may be used, but they bright and colorful, and they are all still in very good condition. Some can save you as much as 40% off the purchase cost of new display units. Call us now for more information about product availability in your area.

Commercial Stock Picking Ladders

2009-09-18T08:39:00.005-05:00

Time is money in every area of business, but in some areas, time is more critical than it is in others. Inventory control is one of those areas. Consistent work flow literally means dollars and cents you either save or lose. Stock picking ladders help you manage inventory more quickly, efficiently and safely by giving your workers stable platforms they can easily climb and stand on while doing their jobs.

These units are perfect for small warehouses, stores that narrow aisles, and even heavy traffic areas. They are built to be mobile and compact so you can position them in places you cannot put larger ladders. They are designed with sturdy steel construction, and they are built in full compliance with OSHA 1910.29 & ANSI A14.7 regulations.

Constructed with handrails that employees can hold on to when they climb and stand on the unites, they are incredibly stable and safe to work on in any retail or industrial environments. A number of features make each commercial ladder very mobile, ergonomic, and highly practical for all stocking operations.

To start with, all steps on all stock picking ladders are exactly 24” across. This gives a worker just enough to stand on both feet and balance. You can also order steps with optional safety treads if additional precautions are needed.

Unit heights are from 92 inches to 122 inches. Platform heights are between 50 inches and 80 inches. Different models, of course, come with different numbers of steps. The smaller units have only 5 steps, while the largest units have 8. Every model, though, has a total weight capacitance of 350 pounds and a shelf capacity of 300 pounds.

Mobility is essential in the inventory control business. Nothing is a bigger hassle and more time consuming than having to lift the ladder and manually move it over to the next spot. Lifting also results in back and shoulder strain which no organization wants to risk.

To make things easier on staff, stock picking ladders are built with the same construction features as other types of steel rolling ladders. They are made with sprung casters that allow them to be rolled over the floor and then locked in place by rubber feet when a person climbs the steps. You can easily position them even in the tightest corners and more narrow of aisles with minimal risk of injury.

Many manufacturers also build powered stock picking work platforms that run on 12V marine batteries and winches. Push button controls mounted at the top of the platforms make these models easy to control. Bottom limit switches stops shelves automatically at the top and bottom of the units.

Companies in both warehouse distribution and store front retail sales have consistently reported improved efficiency in inventory control and fewer worker accidents after they made a reasonable investment in stock picking ladders.

Pneumatically Operated Oil Filter Crushers

2009-08-25T18:15:00.006-05:00

Oil filter crushers do more than you would think. You may assume that a machine that crushes a can is only a rudimentary tool of destruction and elimination. On an functional level this may be the case, but beyond the actuality of the mechanics, they offer tangible financial benefits for the companies who are smart enough to invest in them.

The most obvious of these benefits is consolidated storage space. We talk a great deal about saving on storage space with pallet racks. Please be aware that there are many other ways to reduce wasted space as well. Getting rid of materials that clutter corners and sections of the floor immediately frees up areas used to store debris, trash, and disposables. Common sense indicates that crushed filters take up far less room in storage areas and pose much less of a trip hazard.

Another advantage to using these oil filter crushing devices is a reduction in disposal costs. Government regulations specify that used filters are a form of hazardous waste. There are always expensive fees attached to getting rid of hazardous waste—especially if you do not do it right. When filters contain traces of residual oil, there are penalties attached. Oil filter crushers drain this excess oil prior to disposal, eliminating penalty costs in the process.

Another advantage that air powered oil filter crushers offer you is an improvement in facility safety. By draining filters, you will eliminate oil spillage which will cause severe slip and fall hazards in your facility. These units will not only to flatten filters, but also capture and contain excess oil so there will be no risk of worker injury in and around the places where crushed filters are subsequently stored.

Consider too how oil filter crushers will help our environment. Many companies are now being pressured by both the government and public opinion to be more environmentally proactive. Many have even improved their profit margins substantially by proving renewed environmental awareness to their customer base and the public in general. Showing the public that you have taken proactive steps in ridding the environment of a toxic and hazardous substance goes a long way toward improving the company image. In a vertical market where this may not be directly beneficial, think of how avoiding penalties that can be imposed for environmental contamination will save you money you would otherwise lose.

Oil filter crushers are safe and affordable to operate. Most run on shop air through pneumatic pumps. The absence of motors saves money on maintenance costs and electrical power costs. For some applications a powered unit may be necessary, however. In these circumstances, Easy Rack has units that operate on electric-hydraulic power. Crushing power ranges anywhere from 13,000 lbs for smaller units all the way up to 37,500 pounds for units designed to crush 55-gallon drums. Ask your Easy Rack specialist which oil drum crusher or oil filter crushers will best meet your waste disposal needs.

Transportation Cabinets & Gas Cylinder Equipment

2009-08-25T18:02:00.007-05:00

It is important to safely store and organize LP gas storage tanks. It is also very important to rapidly move tanks in a safe and ergonomic manner to save time and reduce work hazards associated with lifting and transporting. Easy Rack cylinder storage and transport products can provide your organization with products that will help you better perform both of these tasks and more efficiently streamline your process flow. Cylinder storage and transport products are engineered for maximum safely, ergonomic portability, and maximum tank capacity.

Cylinder Storage Cabinets
Steel cabinets are an excellent way to store LP gas tanks. These units feature rugged steel construction and powder-coat safety yellow finish for maximum visibility. Storage capacity of the cabinet varies based upon the size of the tanks stored. Expanded steel mesh sides make the unit strong, but also allow contents to be ventilated, viewed, and catalogued.

The top of the cylinder storage cabinet is a solid sheet of steel. Security comes in the form of lockable doors and lag holes in the base of the cabinet that can be used for securing LP tanks. The unit is engineered for maximum compliance with both OSHA and NFPA standards, and includes red letter signage that reads “Flammable.”

Galvanized Cylinder Storage Cabinets
In certain environments, steel requires galvanization to protect it against corrosion. Galvanized steel cylinder storage cabinets feature a design build that is 100 percent steel, coated with a galvanized rust resistant finish.

Ergonomic Work & Powered Lift Tables

2009-08-03T10:53:00.005-05:00

What is Ergonomics anyway?
Ergonomics is the study of motion. When applied to material handling applications, ergonomics worktables improve the quality of the workplace environment. It creates new systems, and improved process flows, reduces the liabilities associated with industrial accidents, and increase profits by bringing general productivity to a higher level.

What are the benefits of ergonomic powered turntables?
When a crew member is working at a work bench, the ability to quickly access an item from any angle helps the worker get a task done more quickly and much more safely. With a powered carousel turntable, an employee can turn the item towards him without having to move around the work bench.

When working on smaller items, such as engine parts, 8-inch units are sometimes used. Larger items like engine blocks and oddly shaped objects are better manipulated on 24 inch units. A worker can more easily access different sides of such an item with a powered turntable. A staff member can also see both the object and the progress of their own work from different vantage points. With this improved accuracy and efficiency, more work gets completed in less time.

How many types of powered turntables does Easy Rack sell?
We sell several models designed for the many specific applications that define warehouse, distribution center, and factory process flow. Our experts will help you choose the right unit for your application based upon the size, shape, and other attributes of the unit. Our most basic electric lift tables are simple bench top turntables that sit on top of the workbench. They will support up to 5,000 pounds, and they enable employees to rotate the item being worked on with little effort. Rotational is maintained by high quality bearings.

Can you adjust the height of an item with any of these units?
With adjustable powered turntables, you can. We sell units in varying heights measuring up to 36 inches. The ability to adjust the height of the unit allows for a maximum range of ergonomic movements. Workers will not only gain full access to every side of the materials, but they will be able to set the height to a level that minimizes arm and back movements and gives them maximum visibility of the item being processed. Adapt the work to the human body in this fashion is ergonomics is really all about.

How safe are these units?
They are extremely safe because they are manufactured at the highest levels of quality and built with the latest turntable lift technologies that let workers to easily elevate objects of up to 750 pounds in weight. The powered rotation helps your employees work smarter, not harder, and to get the job done more rapidly without fatigue or the risk of serious injury.

Forklift Lift Hooks & Accessories

2009-07-27T10:07:00.004-05:00

Sometimes you cannot us a crane, or you have a load that is too small to justify using one. However, you cannot pick it up manually, but must somehow suspend it using a fork truck attachment and lift it to a more elevated position by raising the forks to the appropriate height.

Never try to chain the object to the forks.

Instead, use an Easy Rack lift hook. It is the safest way of suspending objects of the forks of a fork truck. You can use it with both extendable reach and straight mast forklifts.

A lift hook is an fork lift extension attachment with two fork pockets that slide onto the forks. A swivel hook hangs between this attachment at 24”. The unit is secured to the forks by a heavy duty chain. This keeps it from sliding past the 24 inch mark, which is vital to safe operations.

This is because of the way a fork lift is built. On most fork trucks, the load center is 24 inches. Anything positioned forward or behind this center of gravity can throw the entire vehicle slightly off balance. This may be something you might be able to get away with when lifting an exceptionally light load. However, when you are lifting anything of considerable mass, you will probably losing your contents on the ground, or even worse, overturning the vehicle and seriously injure yourself.

An Easy Rack forklift attachment hook gives you a safe, ergonomic, and time-saving key to elevating loads with fork trucks. The swivel hook is positioned at exactly 24 inches to the rear of the lift hook frame. This places the lift hook squarely at the precise location where most forklifts are manufacturer rated—the 24 inch load center.

You can then your standard forklift as you normally would, although you have to subtract 265 pounds--the weight of the lift hook itself-- from the total rating. For example, if your fork truck is rated at 8,000 pounds in a specific boom configuration, you then subtract 265 pounds from 8,000 pounds and calculate a new rating of 7,735 pounds.

It is essential that you never try to go beyond this factored rating, even for the sake of running a test. Always check your forklift manual for variations of the load capacity based on variable boom position. Normally, when you elevate the forks, rated lift capacity decreases. Similarly, on expandable reach forklifts, the rated capacity also decreases when you extend the boom.

You should only use a lift hook plate with the forklift forks level or with the tips tilted slightly upward. The lift hook is intended to be used for vertical lifting only, so you should never use it to pull any anything. Clear the area around the load of all personnel before you lift something, and have them stay at a safe distance while the load is being lifted.

Easy Rack stocks a vast inventory of commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, work platform forklift attachments and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Brick, Mortar & Block Carts

2009-07-20T13:33:00.005-05:00

Brick and block carts are designed to help masons in residential construction move brick and block into areas where there is no forklift access. This is very common in the home building industry, where there simply is no way to move a forklift into what will eventually be a home interior. Also, many home builders feel that forklifts are beyond their budget and choose to look for less expensive ways to move equipment around the site. Brick and block carts are remarkably efficient tools for this task, and they are affordable for even the smallest of family owned construction companies to invest in.

The brick and block cart is much safer and far more ergonomic than brick barrows. It is also helps move materials much more quickly. The reason for this is simple. Bricks and blocks tend to come stacked and banded. In order to transport them in a barrow, you have to cut the bands, stack them in the barrow, then unload and restack them after they are moved. This wastes considerable time on the job, which in turn results in a waste of money.

Brick and block carts allow you to move hand truck entire stacks of banded brick and block without having to undo the bands. Simply run the forks into the bricks and tilt the unit back. This will allow you to pick up as many as two bands of brick at a time and comfortably transport them to the work area. It is not necessary to hand stack or unstuck the bricks, so an enormous amount of time can be saved. Furthermore, it is much easier on your back because you do not have to stoop down to load and unload bricks like you do when using a barrow.

Most masons simply wheel the brick and block cart to the work area and stand it up in a vertical position with the bricks still held in place by the forks. They then cut the bands at the top and use from the stack however many bricks they needs. For scaffold work, brick and block carts can be placed right under the scaffold, and bricks can hand stacked on the scaffold as needed.

Easy Rack sells brick and block carts in two different model: the Rough Terrain Brick Cart and the Deluxe Rough Terrain Block/Brick cart. The Double Back Plate model features an additional pair of 15” forks specifically designed to handle any block package.

We see the greatest use of these carts in single story construction projects where forklifts are simply too expensive to purchase or lease, and where the work area itself is considerably smaller than that around larger homes. Having a convenient, ergonomic tool like the Easy Rack brick and block cart allows for quick mobility, safe labor, and rapid turnaround on the project. In fact, many companies who invest in brick and block carts, as well as other space saving and ergonomic tools by Easy Rack, are often able to lower their contract costs and win more bids by passing their material handling savings on to the general contractor.

Skeleton Buckets & Skid Steer Bucket

2009-07-16T10:28:00.009-05:00

Skeleton buckets are skid steer attachments with vertical tines that spaced a few inches apart. These tines let small rocks and dirt to fall through to the ground while simultaneously holding on to larger dirt and debris. These versatile and heavy-duty skid steer buckets are invaluable to both landscaping and construction because they allow workers to clear entire areas without gouging out deep holes in the ground.

There are many tools that workers have historically used to clear such. It is not like hauling trash away is all that hard. However, anything sold bottom container carries away dirt as well as debris, leaving holes in the ground that are both dangerous and unattractive.

Skeleton buckets move debris away much more effectively than other tools. In the western US, they are great for moving large rocks away from construction sites. In the southeastern and eastern parts of the nation, fork lift accessories are ideal for hauling away tree roots and the remnants of tree stumps. In urban areas, they are very used in demolition projects where crews must clear away fragments of previous buildings, such as broken cinder blocks and bricks, need to be removed from the lot. This saves tremendous money and time by maintaining keeping the terrain level for new construction. Farmers often use these buckets to remove debris, tree roots, and scrub brush from their fields and pastures. The environmental impact is minimal due to the open-ribbed bottom design. Scrap metal operations and junk yards will use skid steer skeleton buckets to sort out larger pieces of metal from smaller pieces of scrap. This helps them sort different materials according to size and place them in separate piles. Consolidating stock like this helps junk yards better organize scrap and keep it concentrated in areas away from human traffic and moving vehicles.

Skeleton Skid-Steer Buckets are designed with a leading edge, ¾” X 6” high carbon beveled blade that can be expanded with an optional, bolt-on blade attached. This attachment is often used for working around trees because it can more quickly cut through heavy root systems and stumps. Optional heavy duty teeth can be added when clearing metal, concrete, or cinder block. The top of the skeleton bucket is reinforced by closed box channel section, and heavy angle section at the bottom reinforces the structural backbone of the unit

Easy Rack skeleton buckets can be ordered in 66”, 72”, and 84” widths. Every unit is fitted with a heavy duty universal-fit skid-steer quick-tach intended to fit all current sized skid-steer loaders.

A skeleton bucket is a one-time investment that can be used in many applications for many years to come. Any construction or landscaping project that involves moving large amounts of debris off site will benefit from one of these rugged and versatile skid steer attachments.
