Used Display Shelving Racks

What types of used display shelves do you carry?
There are two main categories of display shelving. There is a double-sided shelf, also known as aisle shelving or used gondola shelving, which is arranged in rows with shelves extending outward on either side. The other type of display shelving is one-sided, or wall shelving. This type of display shelf is used to turn empty wall space into merchandising space. It is most valuable to small pawn shops, convenience stores, local hardware stores, small drug stores, and records stores because it makes the most of every square inch and places important merchandise on eye level with browsing shoppers.

What colors can I buy used display shelving in?
You can buy used display shelving in any number of colors, including gray, almond, black, caramel, light beige, and beige. The most popular color is almond, but this is solely a matter of subjective preference.

What sizes are available?
Display shelving ranges in vertical height from 48” to 84”. We recommend that you use purchase used display shelves standing no more 84” high. This gives you plenty of room to stock your products and still leaves you with enough room to look over the tops of the shelving for loss prevention monitoring.

What horizontal widths are available?
We sell all used display shelves built to a standard 48” width. This provides a common measurement around which to build a space management plan.

How much weight can these shelves hold?
An individual shelves can typically hold 350lbs in weight. Multiple shelves can be adjusted to create a “staggering” of depth from top to bottom. This lets more light shine onto lower shelves and prevents shadows from obscuring your products.

What are the most important benefits we can expect?
With the right combination of aisle and wall shelving, you can use display shelves in virtually any open space in your store. Easy Rack will help you customize a merchandising floor plan that will make the most of your empty walls and unused square footage on the ground.

Used Pallet Racks & Racking Systems

How can these warehouse pallet racking make us money?
If you can organize your products better, you can also move them in and out of your warehouse faster. This improves the efficiency of your process flow across the flow, and can help boost your profit margins by lessening downtime. This is important with a possible global recession looming over our heads. Now is not a good time to start building a new warehouse or strapping yourself with yet another lease. With warehouse used pallet racks customized to your existing storage facilities, you can make more of your existing space, and store more products for far less money than the cost of moving or constructing a new building.

How can you make such a bold claim to fame and create such a measurable improvement in times like this?
We can and we do because we are not afraid of what is on the news, and because we are precise in our design and planning on three critical levels. Every warehouse used pallet racking system is custom designed by our in-house engineer who carefully examines your industry, your companyʼs business model, and the specific inventory you have in stock. Considering these three elements at once allows us to also factor your projected growth into the warehouse pallet racking system we ultimately design for you. With a wide range of storage system components and accessories, we can create a storage system solution that solves your immediate space management and organizational concerns. When you come out of the recession, (or make a great deal of money in spite of it), the original pallet racking system is already built to accommodate new decking and supports when you need to expand it. This is seldom as difficult as it sounds to some, either, because warehouse used industrial pallet racking systems are engineered to be assembled and/or modified with no tools and modified according to your immediate storage need requirements.

How flexible are these warehouse pallet rack systems?
Warehouse pallet racks are made to be adapted to almost any warehouse. We sell both used and new warehouse pallet racking systems to accommodate both preference for new material handling equipment and operations on a tight budget. Regardless of whether we provide you with new or used racks, we build a system that takes full advantage of the floor space in your warehouse, and one that allows you to keep more inventory in stock without having to increase floor space. Warehouse racking can support up to 35,000 lbs. in weight and are based on 54" beam spacing. The teardrop style is the most common pallet storage system, and is made in accordance with the Rack Manufacturer's Institute and conforms to light gage cold form standards.

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.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of custom made shelving, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.
