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.

Used Heavy Duty Pallet Racks

Used heavy duty pallet racking helps companies consolidate and streamline inventory management—at up to 40% less the cost of new racking systems. The complexities of auto parts, paper products, liquids, and tire storage can be systematically and cost effectively addressed with Easy Rack used heavy duty pallet racking. An enormous variety of decks, dimensions, and weight capacities is only a phone call away for the warehouse or factory that requires heavy duty shelving, storage space, heavy duty racking, and boltless designs in long span storage racks. All of these components and systems can be purchased in excellent, used condition and utilized for maximizing both your square footage and your vertical cube space for expanded storage.

Boltless heavy duty pallet racking and used pallet rack systems.

The boltless design will not bow in the middle when a large amount of weight is placed on top of it. Used Boltless heavy duty pallet racking offers organizations extra warehouse space for large and bulky materials in a durable and safe design that can be used for a wide variety of industrial storage needs. These heavy duty pallet rack systems assemble with snap together parts that require no clips, bolts or tools. They are specifically designed for loading heavy bulky materials with a forklift or pallet jack.

The following summary represents just a few of the benefits companies can count on receiving from used heavy duty pallet racking, shelves, and rack trusses on sale at Easy Rack:

Used teardrop heavy duty pallet racking is the most popular storage system we sell.

The 2” vertical range allows for flexible height adjustment.

Standard Widths measuring 64" & heights to 300" will cover almost all heavy duty storage applications.

Strong & reliable upright truss are made from heavy channel bracing soundly welded to height tensile steel columns.

Safety is maximized by the boltless design feature.

All finishes are iron phosphate and powder coated to protect storage rack components.

Standard Pallet Racking Colors: dura-green frames and safety orange-beams.

Weight capacities can range as high as 35,000 lbs.

All teardrop style used industrial pallet racking components are made in accordance with the Racking Manufacturer's Institute and conform to light gage cold form standards.

What to look for when buying used heavy duty pallet racking and storage rack systems:

Insurance plays a critical role anytime a company invests in either new or used heavy-duty pallet storage racking.

Ruggedness and safety are key issues to discuss in detail with your commercial insurance agent.

Making certain that you comply with all industry standards will work toward minimizing liability when using heavy duty storage racking.

One more thing to pay very close attention to is your local fire code. A good part the country now requires wire decking in heavy duty pallet racking systems because steel and wooden decking will block the water coming from ceiling sprinklers in the event of a fire. While steel decks are still used for the heaviest duty industrial storage needs, there are many storage applications where wire decking will do just as well and also keep your facility in full compliance with regulatory agencies. Again, this is a matter to discuss with your commercial property insurance agent and Easy Rack material handling specialist.

Metal Storage Shelving

Metal storage shelving brings efficiency, improved safety, and faster completion of tasks to factories and warehouses. Metal storage shelving is available in a wide range of steel wire gauges and design builds to accommodate both small storage areas and large, heavy duty warehouse environments. Investing in the right steel shelving system now can make the difference between meeting budget and going in the hole. Inefficient organization and slowdowns in production can quickly add up to costly overtime hours, lost contracts, or even worker injuries. Investing in metal storage shelves can also convert previously unnoticed space into usable storage areas that minimize the need for relocation and create a safer overall environment to operate in.

Closed Metal Shelving
Closed metal storage shelving is closed on the sides and the back and offers the security of a cabinet. Closed metal storage shelves can be folded together and locked for security, or they can be opened fast and placed against the wall, using the flat vertical service as brace. The sturdy steel construction makes it possible for these units to safely organize and support 450lbs of materials.

Closed Shelf units can be used in factories, storage areas, warehouse floors, and even office areas. Some companies convert shelves into storage bins by adding vertical sections. This is often done in assembly line environments where workers need access to small parts that are efficiently organized and easily retrievable. 10 gauge metal storage shelving is generally used in office environments and for light storage in back rooms. Heavier, 20 gauge steel closed shelves feature a standard 36 inch width and are available in a variety of height and length dimensions. Custom sizes can also be ordered through your Easy Rack material handling specialist.

Open Metal Storage Shelving
Open metal shelving offers two very important advantages to cramped facilities. Because they are often much taller than wide, they can be placed in narrow quarters and convert unused vertical space into storage rack space. Also, because they have not back or side panels, they can be accessed from any direction.

Although they may appear more fragile than closed backed units, 20 gauge open metal storage shelves are quite sturdy. They can easily handle up to 450 pounds in weight. 20 gauge steel shelves are ideal material handling tools to invest in if you need to reorganize and consolidate your storage areas. Smaller gauge steel units are available as well, ideal for parts storage, lighter materials and boxes, and even paperwork and office supplies for indoor storage environments.

Industrial-Strength Metal Storage Shelving
Wide span or long span metal shelving is commonly referred to as industrial strength steel shelving because it is designed to accommodate extremely heavy loads and large components. Some wide span units are so long they can convert an entire wall into efficient compartmentalized storage space. Long span shelving units can be purchased in sizes measuring up to 24-gauge and offer industrial clients a reliable method of storing motor parts, construction materials, and tools. Because they are corrosion resistant, they are also used for chemical storage as well.

Rivet Shelving
If you are storing very light weight materials and need a shelf that does not require additional braces and supports, rivet shelving will get the job done for a marginal cost. These shelves are the least expensive storage units we carry, and, like open shelving, allow you to access material from all sides and do not use braces that could obstruct storage access.

Mezzanine Metal Storage Shelving & Decking Systems
Mezzanine systems are intended to convert vertical cube space into multiple floors within a facility that is facing an imminent move due to space restrictions. They commonly increase storage areas in warehouses by as much as 150%. The investment in a mezzanine storage system is almost always less than that of a relocation, and the installation of these systems causes much less downtime than having to move and set up shop in an entirely new location.

Pallet Rack Metal Storage Shelving
Metal used pallet rack storage shelves have become standards in almost every warehouse and factory. This is because almost all raw materials and supplies are shipped on pallets, and pallet racks make it easy to simply store the pallets as they arrive than to break them down and store their contents individually. The man hours this saves companies is enormous, and can contribute significantly toward minimizing overhead and weekend catch-up work.

Used Cantilever Racks

Used cantilever racks will often save your organization up to 40% off the purchase value of new cantilever racks. Lighter duty, pre-configured used cantilever racks can be located through any number or channels Easy Rack representatives have access to, and used cantilever arms and cantilever uprights that are needed to build medium and heavy duty cantilever shelving systems can also be obtained at similar price points and drop shipped immediately to your location or the location of your client.

Cantilever racks are needed by industrial facilities for two very important uses: storage of odd-sized and exceptionally long materials, and compact, efficient conversion of floor space to functional, secure storage space. Unlike mezzanine systems, pallet racks, and industrial shelving systems, cantilever racking uses a unique configuration of vertical uprights to support horizontal arms that cradle materials and products. The total amount of floor space used is significantly less than what is required for larger standard shelving, allowing you to use more cantilever shelving units per square foot than other forms of storage. For example, you can cost effectively order several used cantilever racks in our pre-configured, double-sided design and mount them side by side to extend horizontal storage space for extremely long products such as lumber, tubes, metal bars, rods, poles, and plumbing pipes. If you are thinking about moving to a larger, more expensive location, consider ordering some used cantilever racks to see if they could transform some of your unused rooms and corners into efficient, productive space with either pre-configured or heavy-duty, custom built used cantilever racking.

Through consolidation of your resources and the creation of a safer, less cluttered work environment no doubt will improve both your process flow and your employ morale. Workers will no longer have to use the floor to store materials like flake boards, marble, granite, wooden crates, dry wall, aluminum sheets, TV’s, stereos, appliances, or furniture. Each one of these items can be stored on a used cantilever system custom built for specific load and weight distribution requirements. Easy Rack can provide you with any size and number of vertical single sided uprights necessary to support even the largest and most cumbersome of objects. You can obtain used double sided cantilever rack arms of any length, load capacity, and cantilever arm design. Cantilever arms themselves either extend horizontally or angle upward slightly in a curve. The two different designs are to support two very general categories of products. Flat items, such as drywall and stone slabs, rest better on horizontal supports extending from the upright at a straight 90 degree angle. Cylindrical products, such as pipes, cylindrical containers, and barrels, require a “cradle” that will prevent their round surface from rolling off the rack.

Easy Rack only builds and supports new and used heavy duty cantilever racks that feature one style of arm or the other. Attempts to combine “flat” arms with “curved” arms is taking too may shortcuts and taking too many risks on creating instability. This is not something we can support. However, this does NOT mean you have to by a rack for each and every storage need you have. Each rack features a great deal of flexibility because uprights feature grooves that allow the arms to be moved up and down to different positions. This allows you to adjust settings and use the same cantilever rack to store many different types and sizes of materials, provided each storage load is similar enough to be loaded and stored with balance and stability.

Using cantilever racks with heavy duty cantilever arms can transform every square inch of what you thought was unusable floor space into a super-efficient organizational shelving system that makes inventory fast, easy, and amazingly accurate. You will find yourself having to authorize less needless overtime, and you will find fewer mistakes in tracking supplies that are now neatly compartmentalized rather than simply piled on the floor or stacked in the corner.

The best thing about all of this is the savings on top of the productivity. Used cantilever arms, vertical uprights, and pre-configured units are just as sturdy as new models, but they cost amazingly less. Ordering a used cantilever rack online is a simple, safe and secure procedure. Our Internet staff of shelving associates will find all necessary parts to fulfill functional and safety requirements before drop shipping either a complete cantilever rack or necessary components to your location or your client’s site.

When installing a pallet storage racking system for your business, planning is absolutely essential to maximizing your storage capacity. The first stage of laying out the warehouse should always be to measure out the number of aisles that will be required, and to measure the appropriate width of them in order to allow access by a forklift truck. Then decide which type of pallet racks are suitable for storing your products. Finally, warehouse lighting should be considered the finishing touch to any well designed warehouse.

Once the floor plan has been laid out, and the amount of rack storage space that is available has been determined, the construction process can begin. At this stage of installing a pallet storage rack or cantilever rack, experience is essential. The rack must be built to withstand the extreme weights that will be loaded on it, and this means that the workers employed in building it must understand the whole process. Easy Rack use professional workers who are able to carry out the work from start to finish, and who have experience in ensuring that your pallet storage racks or reel racks are built to the exacting standards that are required to maintain high levels of safety and security throughout the lifetime of the system.

Pallet Storage Racks, Heavy Duty Pallet Racking & Commercial New or Used Shelving Systems from Easy Rack.

The term “pallet storage racks” is quite frankly another term for heavy-duty pallet racks or heavy-duty shelving. Is refers to higher weight capacities, not to a specific size, color or style. Some pallet storage units feature weight capacities of up to 48,000 pounds.

In terms of construction, bulk pallet storage racks vary little from their lighter duty shelving equivalents. They function in much the same way, the only real difference being that they require professional installation to be safely and efficiently setup and they must be moved with heavier equipment in order to ensure the safety of both workers and content.

The most popular warehouse pallet storage racks found commonly throughout warehouses and factories nationwide is the teardrop design from Easy Rack. The standard dimensions for a teardrop pallet storage rack is 64” in width and 300” in height. In most normal heavy-duty storage environments, this usually provides all necessary storage space for the requirements at hand. Teardrop racks also offer an additional 2” of adjustable space to create maximum efficiency in height usage.

Teardrop pallet storage racking systems consist of boltless design that provides easy assembly and quick adjustment on the spot. Braces are welded together to high tensile steel columns to create a safe and sturdy upright truss. The most heavy-duty teardrop units feature a storage capacity of up to 35,000 lbs.

Both new and used pallet storage racks can be obtained from Easy Rack. Your Easy Rack specialist will help you choose which design and capacity pallet storage racks best fits your current warehouse or factory storage needs and which design and weight capacity are most appropriate for your particular situation.
