Pallet Racks & Pallet Racking

We have considered freezing procurement due to possible global economic collapse. It is a good thing to be cautious, but reacting to the extreme on fear only makes the situation worse. Rather than freezing your budget, consider making one or two purchases that have intrinsic return on investment build into the purchase order.

Ok then, what types of purchases do you recommend?
If you can only make a single material handling purchase this quarter, buy a pallet racking system. Everything about a used pallet rack is designed for efficiency and process flow and in most cases eliminates the need to expand a warehouse or move into a larger facility at great expense.

How do pallet racks prevent the need to expand or move?
They convert floor space and vertical cube space into an organized storage area that can be accessed by workers and fork trucks. We cannot stress enough to our clients how important it is to avoid using floor space for storage that presents a hazard to workers and an obstacle to equipment. Getting stored materials off the floor and onto a pallet racking system will improve your safety rating and make it possible to manage your inventory more efficiently and accurately. When you know exactly what you have, where it is, and how to find, you can much more easily manage your books and avoid double purchasing and over purchasing supplies, components, and materials.

Should all inventories be kept on pallet racks?
We recommend you try to do this if at all possible. Not only can you control inventory better this way, but you can keep it in much better condition when you store it off the floor in a neat and organized manner. You will receive a return on this investment over time in the form of reduced replacement costs and shortened time involved in finding and retrieving materials. In this sense, a pallet rack is a time clockʼs best friend.

Do you custom build any pallet racks?
Yes. We custom build them all. There is nothing generic about our warehouse racking systems. Every new or used industrial racking system is a custom system build to meet the specific needs of our client. Used pallet racking will often save a company up to 40% and can be custom built from components we have access to through nationwide procurement channels. New pallet racks are also custom built.
