Used Pallet Racking

Used pallet racking saves companies as much as 40% of the purchase cost of new equivalents. Used pallet racking by Easy Rack is available in all standard types, sizes, and styles on a nationwide basis. Pallet racking systems can also be custom designed with the assistance of an Easy Rack material handling specialist. They can be built to match interior warehousing conditions, terrain, specific climate, and the seismic environment of a particular region of the country.

What is the best design for used pallet racking?
The "best" design is often determined by the application and is therefore hard to point to as an absolute standard. The industry standard for most applications is used pallet racking in teardrop design.

Used teardrop pallet racks are made using a boltless design that makes assembly and adjustment easier. This also keeps the platform more stable and prevents it from buckling in the middle. Teardrop used pallet racking is braced with heavy channel steel and is supported by tensile steel columns that keep the entire structure immobile and therefore more stable when storing a large amount of weight.

What type of pallet racking should be used in heavy fork truck traffic areas?
In these areas, we recommend you install heavy-duty, industrial used pallet racking that can handle weight capacities of 48,000 lbs and are built to withstand occasional fork truck collisions.

What is the best type of decking to use?
That depends on the application. Steel decks are recommended for the most heavy-duty industrial storage provided they comply with fire codes. In medium and light duty storage, wire decks are generally preferred because of fire control issues. If the sprinkler system in a warehouse or factory is triggered, water can flow between the mesh of the wire without being stopped by a solid platform.

What is the difference between custom warehouse pallet racking and custom structural pallet racking?
Used warehouse pallet racking systems are built to organize and store materials that anticipate future expansion. These systems are designed so they can be adapted and added onto as the size and storage needs of a facility increases.

Used Structural Heavy Duty Pallet Racking is made for impact resistance in high traffic areas. Easy Rack builds structural upright systems in a variety of well-known, standard styles such as Inca, Sturdibilt, Steel King, Frazier, Arco, and Speedrack.

If you are uncertain which type of used pallet racking, supports, system style, or deck you require for your organization, it is best to have a custom system built to the exact specifications of your storage facility, the parameters of your operations, and the changes anticipated due to forecasted growth. If you provide your Easy Rack specialist with this information, we can perform all the necessary calculations to build your system to safely maximize your storage space and improve your inventory control.

Warehouse Shelves & Shelving Systems

Most companies realize they need new warehouse shelves when they run out of space and are facing an imminent move. In many cases the move is not necessary because plenty of space still exists within the facility. Poorly organized supplies, materials, and products can quickly fill a room with clutter, creating the perception that space is limited when it really is not. Both floor space and vertical cube space often go wasted, unnoticed as to the potential they represent.

Warehouse shelving will convert this horizontal and vertical space accordingly into highly organized compartments of efficiency. Products and supplies can then be sorted and stored by category, type, size, or material build, making it easier to maintain track of inventory in the process. Knowing exact counts of crates, boxes, parts, products, and raw materials is the best way to avoid over purchasing, and accurate inventory records also play a very big role in tax valuation at the end of each quarter.

Sometimes sensitive materials like certain chemicals need their own special storage area for safety reasons. They require certain temperatures and a certain level of ventilation to remain stable indoors. Smaller warehouse shelves can be placed in these areas and used to store these substances with minimal hazard to employees and the environment.

Warehouses that see a lot of shipping and receiving activity perhaps benefit the most from shelving units. When trucks and forklifts are rapidly loading and unloading supplies it is vital to stay on top of process flow. The organization that warehouse shelving offers such an operation can mean the difference between staying on schedule or falling behind and having to make up the difference during costly overtime.

The type of warehouse shelving used in a specific environment depends a great deal on the weight of the load it is supporting and the method of retrieval workers used to access materials on the shelf. Different sized industrial shelving units are used in specific environments. The strength of the shelf will to a certain extent determine what can be stored on it.

Workers who need to quickly retrieve small parts or boxes will have a much easier time working with open backed warehouse shelves because they can access these units from the back and the sides as well as the front. Smaller open backed shelves are also used by office managers to store office supplies and documents.

Parts storage is commonly done by adding plates to the shelves inside closed back units. This creates bins that small components can be stored in. 18 gauge and 20 gauge closed back warehouse shelves that can easily support 400-450 lbs in weight are routinely used for storing boxes in stockrooms. They can also be connected together to create box shelving systems that can hold up to 2,000 pounds in weight.

For storage of loads totaling over 2,000 pounds in weight, we recommend long span warehouse shelving. Long span systems, or wide span as they are also known, can convert entire walls into storage areas and can support loads of up to 35,000 pounds. Wide span units are designed with a unique two-piece steel beam support that increases the unitʼs center of gravity and more evenly distributes heavy loads over the surface of the shelves.

Commercial Shelving

The benefits of commercial widespan shelving provide both the motivation and the return on investment that justifies their procurement in the first place. The variety of commercial shelving is extensive, ranging from smaller, portable commercial shelves and racks to heavy duty industrial commercial pallet racking systems. The intent behind this diversity is to provide the most efficient conversion of floor space and vertical cube space into an optimum environment for one or more specific types of contents. As a general principle, any item or container that features symmetric or proportional dimensions and has at least one flat surface can be stored on some sort of commercial shelf or metal rack. This is because shelving systems themselves are rectangular in design and provide horizontal storage space in ascending rows. Round containers can be stored on shelves provided they too have a flat surface on the end with a sufficient radius to balance and support their weight. Irregularly sized materials such as tubing, pipe, furniture, Sheetrock, and flooring supplies normally require more specialized storage areas such as those provided by cantilever racks.

Because symmetry and balance determine which materials you can store on heavy duty commercial shelves, weight plays a secondary role in determining which units you will need for your facility. Most 18 gauge and 20 gauge steel shelving units can easily support 400-450 lbs in weight. This is normally sufficient for the average crate or box, and because these commercial shelves feature sufficiently compact builds to be positioned in a number of places, anything from stockrooms to the entirety of a wall can be reorganized with as many of these units as you need to stack and store materials, products, supplies, tools, and even paperwork. (Some of our smaller shelving systems routinely find their way into the offices of managers who use them for easy access to drawings and materials that need to be worked on throughout the day).

Larger commercial shelves, such as cantilever racks are meant for more heavy duty storage. If you are storing parts in large crates, any number of industrial strength shelves can help you safely and efficiently do this. Your choices are best determined by considering three factors when making your selection. The first is safety. With extremely large items or heavy containers, make absolutely certain that you invest in a commercial shelving system whose weight capacity exceeds the total weight of items. Maxing out a brand new storage system is never a good idea. A worker may not be aware of this, store additional materials on a system already at full capacity, and cause the unit to become unstable. The second is accessibility. If you only need to retrieve items from the front of the shelf, commercial wide span systems offer you some of the most powerful storage units in existence and the added stability of resting against a wall. Open ended systems, however, are often required for items that have to be retrieved by a team of people continually throughout the day, such as you see in many assembly lines. Finally, the actual length, height, and depth of the commercial shelf you invest in really needs to be assessed in terms of floor space/vertical cube space conversion. The total dimensions of a shelf are not always indicators of the actual interior, usable storage space. To make certain every square cubic inch pays your back for your investment, talk to your material handling specialist about usable storage solutions, weight capacity, accessibility, and methods of ensuring the unit remains stable and secure in every conceivable scenario.

Easy Rack maintains a full selection of small, mid-sized, and heavy duty steel commercial racking systems, including wide span units that can be used in places ranging from service center areas behind the front desk to large warehouses where voluminous storage must be consolidated along the walls to make way for heavy traffic. If cost is an issue, our procurement and distribution network can locate any commercial shelf you find on our website and obtain it for you in quality, used condition—sometimes for a discount of up to 40%.
