Manual & Powered Pallet Trucks

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.

Commercial Stock Picking Ladders

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.

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

Ergonomic Work & Powered Lift Tables

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.

If your company consistently works with large or very heavy objects and you are concerned about employee fatigue or injury, powered turntables can bring your crew both piece of mind and greater efficiency and safety.

Our shelving display units offer you a compact design that is easy to move around and create all sorts of custom displays with. Measuring a mere 48” across, both double-sided and single-sided steel display units can be connected together to create aisles shelving and wall racks of any length and height. They can also be maneuvered individually into key spots where you can use them as special holiday sales displays. Larger, less symmetrical units are too hard to move in this fashion, and they seldom look very attractive, either.

Easy Rack shelving display units will enable you to place your hottest and most valuable items in positions of prominence.
Because they are brightly painted in any number of colors, they are ideal compliments to your holiday decor. You can place them in locations you may not have previously thought appropriate for a display. For instance, if you have a store with two entrances on either side, placing a double-sided used shelving display unit directly between them can attract the attention of shoppers coming in from both directions. This is a great way to merchandise discount items and children’s toys.

You can also minimize loss to theft if you by the right shelving display units.
You may have previously bought shelving units that were as tall as possible because you wanted to display as much inventory as possible. You probably realized after the fact that many shoplifters took advantage of exceptionally tall commercial shelving display units and hid behind them while stealing. This can easily be overcome by replacing these units with display shelving that is shorter, but has more cubic volume due to its adjustable features. Easy Rack units allow you to move the shelves within the display anywhere you like, You can also vary the depth of each shelf to ensure that light reaches the display at all levels.

Used Store Shelving & Display Racks

What kind of used store shelving do you sell?
We sell double sided and single-sided used store shelves. Double-sided gondola shelving is also known as aisle shelving because it is mostly used to create shopping aisles in the middle of the store. However, because ALL used store shelving displays measure a standard 48” across, a double-sided unit can work very well as a stand along display in the front of the store. Single-sided shelves, also used as end caps I in many stores, are very easy to fit into gaps along the wall and tight corners where larger display shelving cannot fit.

If my displays are dark, shouldn't I buy new light fixtures first?

No. Upgrading light fixtures is going to cost too much money. Instead, spend a portion of your budget on used store shelves that will allow you to adjust the height and width of each horizontal support. Because each shelf on a display rack can support 350 pounds without bending or buckling in the middle, you can move shelves around to let more light onto key products. Also, you can vary the depth of each individual shelf between 12” and 22”, allowing for light to “cascade” throughout the display from top to bottom and spread illumination over your entire product inventory.

What sizes and colors do you have in used store shelving?
All of our used retail store shelves are available in a wide range of colors. We have white, beige, gray, black, and off-white, just to name a few. Our most popular color is almond, due to its “low profile” neutrality that make it a perfect background for so many different product types.

What heights do used store shelves come in?
They measure between 48” to 84”. We recommend that you carefully study your own floor plan before you arbitrarily buy the tallest store shelf available. Instead, use the internal adjustability to get more out of the space within the shelf, and keep the exterior size of the storage shelf as small as possible. The more easily you can see over the tops of shelves, the easier it becomes to spread honesty around your store along with holiday cheer.

How do I know what types of used shelving displays to buy and also know how to arrange them in my store?
Ask your Easy Rack specialist about space management planning. If you are serious about considering our wholesale used display fixtures, then we are happy to suggest upgrades and improvements to your layout. Simply give us a blueprint of your floor plan, or take some photos and send them to our team. We can show you how to use store shelving in a “less is more” way that will minimize purchase costs and maximize long-term return on investment.

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. Just send your account manager any of pictures or blueprints of your store. We will help you plan out your new display setup and fill in the products based on the best application we can develop for your location.

Masonry Equipment & Concrete Supplies

When is special masonry equipment needed on a job site?
Anytime you are constructing a building consisting of 65% brick or more. Even if the entirety of the building itself is made from other materials, you may still need, heavy duty masonry equipment if portions of the blue print call for brick walls or basements.

What is the least expensive form of scaffolding to use?
Veneer scaffolding is much less expensive than standard scaffolds and will perform quite well for smaller wall and basement construction. Veneer scaffolds weigh 35lbs or less and are made with single-piece construction that requires no assembly. They stand on adjustable legs that allow you to stand them up on either a flat or a sloping surface to creating a stable and safe two-level work platforms for all of your masonry equipment, tools, and supplies.

What is the quickest way to move bricks around on a site?
We recommend using brick carts that are made with special forks that allow them to grab stacks of brick at a time. Workers have said that it often takes them less than 1/3 the amount of time to spot brick around a construction site using a construction work cart than it does with other masonry equipment

What other specialized masonry equipment do you have in stock?
Forklifts can move mortar around in mortar tubs, then store and stack the tubs at the end of the day. If forklifts cannot access the part of the wall your crew is working on, you can substitute on or more mortar buggies that will do the same thing. If your crew is standing at heights over 4.5 or 5”, you consider plaster and masonry stands that will elevate equipment and tools so workers do not have to bend down to reach them.

Is there such a thing as heavier duty masonry equipment?
In a sense you could classify crane forks as heavier duty crane attachments. These special forks are designed to pick up banded blocks and brick pallets and balance them on a steady center of gravity. You may need to use crane forks rather than brick carts if your crew is working on a very large wall or if you are moving heavy block.

Does Easy Rack sell masonry equipment in packages or by special application?
We can. We would need to know some basic details of your project, the number of workers involved, your project safety requirements, and your anticipated deadline. Call a material handling specialist today if you are interested in this and we can recommend a solution very quickly after a brief, free consultation.

What are some of the other heavy construction equipment you can supply?

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.

What benefit do used warehouse pallet racks offer?
If you are looking for an affordable long-term storage solutions to weather this recession, used warehouse pallet racking is an ideal option. With discounts on pricing can be as high as 40% you can have your shipping and installation coordinated by Easy Rack through our nationwide distribution network and have an entirely new inventory management system up and running in no time.

Skid Steer Attachments

Do you have skid steer attachments for concrete mixing and pouring?
We have two different types of concrete mixers that attach to skid steers. Both have their advantages and benefits. The skid steer drum mixer is based on the rotating cylinder and attaches to your skid steer with a quick tach. The scoop in place bucket mixer attaches to your skid steer and can scoop up dirt and gravel, mix with cement, and pour from the same piece of equipment. We also have a concrete placement bucket you can use that features a high back to make it splash proof and no moving parts that will wear over time.

When do skid steer forkframe attachments come in useful?
If you are loading and moving cumbersome or uneven materials, such as a pile of railroad ties, you can turn your skid steer into the equivalent of a fork truck. The advantage these skid steer forkframe attachments offer over many standard fork trucks is a captive fork design that holds the forks steady and prevents them from moving when you dump the load. Forkframes also have frame openings in the back that allow you to see what you are doing when you are maneuvering into position and moving materials.

What types of skid steer attachments do you have for specialized industrial and agricultural loading tasks?
Skid steer buckets can be used for any number of industrial and agricultural tasks. You can order attachments made specifically for scooping and moving dirt, sifting out small debris from larger materials, moving snow and light materials, utility work, hauling fertilizer, and cottonseed transport. Skid steer buckets feature hard, beveled carbon side blades prevent the sides from being worn. The bottom of each skid steer bucket is strengthened by welded seams and scuff bars so you can drag the attachment over the surface of the materials you are working with.

What skid steer attachments do you recommend for storm cleanup and debris removal?
Root grapplers and grapple buckets are invaluable for cleanup and demolition of storm debris. They provide ideal grip and lifting ability to get not only tree roots out of the ground, but also to move and stack fallen limbs, sawed up tree trunks, and brush piles. The cutting edge is notched for optional customization with a bolt-on-blade. Intermediate bottom tines can be added to reduce gaps and increase gripping and pickup power.

Do you have any skid steer loader attachments that can used in hard-to-reach places?
For elevated, hard to reach places that require you to lift material weighing as much as 1,000 lbs, Easy Rack recommends attaching a crane jib to your skid steer. These attachments add 5ʼ to loader lift high and will increase the horizontal reach of your skid steer by 6ʼ. Contractors love crane jibs because they can be used for a wide range of jobs such as handling and setting pipe, loading generators, and light steel erection. Landscapers love these skid steer attachments just as much as contractors. They use crane jibs to load, carry, and set trees and large plants. The extra lift height these remarkable loader attachments create makes it possible to safely pick trees up above the balance point.

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

Fork Truck & Forklift Bucket Attachment

What is a bucket attachment?
A bucket attachment is a device that fastens onto the front end of a skid steer or forklift, transforming it into a device for a specialized application. Depending on the brand and model of the fork truck or skid steer, and the intended use of the bucket, it will have either a quick tach attachment or a universal fit.

Why should we invest in skid steer and forklift buckets?
Because by attaching them too one or two forklifts or skid steers you can enable two or three pieces of heavy construction equipment to perform multiple specialized tasks rapidly, safely, and accurately.

Why would I want a bucket attachment for my forklift? Shouldn't I just buy a loader?
Not so fast. Some loaders cannot reach into smaller places, and they are extremely expensive.
Forklift bucket attachments offer a more cost effective and streamlined design allows them to access hard-to-reach places. Forklift buckets with quick tach attachments are great for loading sand and gravel, and when you are finished at the end of the day, you can use them for site cleanup. In extreme northern climates, they are routinely employed to move snow. Universal, “slip over the forks” buckets are frequently used to load and unload gravel from roof tops and to remove trash.

What forklift attachment works best for masonry and moving small quantities of dirt, sand, and gravel?
The self-dumping bucket is a favorite forklift attachment for landscape work, masonry, and for moving small quantities of dirt, sand, small rocks, mulch, fertilizer and top soil. It slips right over the forks of any modern fork truck in a matter of minutes, and it needs no hydraulics and or forklift modifications to get started.

How many different models of skid steer bucket attachments do you offer?

We have six in total, ranging from buckets used for hauling dirt and agricultural products to snow and light material. The newest model that has just emerged on the market is the ribbed-bottom or “skeleton” bucket attachment. It has become very popular, very quickly, in applications that require sifting smaller debris out of the way.

Are root grapplers only good for pulling up tree roots?
No. Root grapplers make it easy to move bulky, hard-to-handle materials safely and quickly. Any time there is a major hurricane, tropical storm, and tornado, they are usually the very first and best choice for demolition and cleanup of storm debris. Perhaps the greatest benefit they offer is their ability to sift out dirt when moving larger piles of trash and heavy dirt. Utility lines and cables remain safe because the tines of a root grapple bucket attachment curve upward and outward to prevent accidental snagging.

How effective is a concrete placement bucket attachment?
Quite often, it is more effective than much more complex and expensive equivalents. It has no moving parts and therefore has less to break. It is one of those classic cases of how something simple works better than something complicated.

Portable Concrete Bucket Mixers

Portable cement mixers transform skid-steers into mobile, ready mix units. Some are made with a rotating cylinder design, while others resemble scoop buckets that can then tilt upward to mix cement with raw materials and make concrete. The demand for portable cement drum mixers continues to rise as ready mix companies continue to raise their prices for concrete delivery concrete yardage costs (due to increases in fuel prices nationwide.) This wastes time and money any time crews have to wait for trucks to arrive, or purchase more concrete than they actually need.

Portable cement mixers eliminate unnecessary downtime, expenditure, and waste by allowing crews to mix cement and concrete on the spot whenever necessary. Both cement mixer drums and skid-steer bucket concrete mixers can be used by workers to mix only the cement and concrete they need for a particular task at hand. Both types of portable cement mixers give work crews onsite, ready-mix capability and do away with the hours of waiting many crews have to endure when third parties become involved in a project.

Easy Rack supplies construction companies with two types of portable cement mixers that attach to almost any skid-steer and make cement mixing portable, ergonomic, safe, and cost effective.

Concrete Mixer Drums are ideal for mixing both cement and concrete 6 cubic feet at a time.

  • The rotating cylinder design makes this ideal for evenly mixing both cement and concrete.
  • This mixer can handle 6 cubic feet-ideal of cement or concrete at a time.
  • The mixer drum is powered by an independent hydraulic motor that mounts to the skid-steerʼs exterior.
  • Universal quick-tach attachments allow portable cement mixers mount to almost any skid-steer units.
  • This portable cement mixer drum is simple to use: just tilt it up to load it, transport it to the desired location, mix and tilt to pour.


If you have to make concrete on the spot with sand or gravel, skid-steer bucket concrete mixers are the best tools to use.

  • If you are making concrete with sand or gravel on your construction site, use these units as buckets to scoop up these materials before adding your cement.
  • Break your cement bags over the splitter on the side.
  • Add water, mix, and discharge either by tilting the mixer downward or through a chute on the side.


Portable cement mixers allow your crew to mix concrete and cement on the spot using only a skid steer, water, and a basic raw materials readily available on the job site. This significantly reduces man hours, elimination of overtime, excessive expenditures on subcontracting ready mix suppliers, and time delays that can affect project completion.

Easy Rack has a number of other lifting, tilting, and material handling supplies in both used and new condition. Be sure to look at all your options today, and talk to a specialist about any customization requirements that will maximize the productivity.

Self Dumping Hoppers

What kinds of fork trucks can self-dumping hoppers are used with?
They can be used as attachments for both standard mast and extendable reach forklifts.

How durable are self-dumping hoppers?
That depends on what they are made from. Construction grade hoppers are made from ¼” and 3/16” steel plates. They can handle thousands of pounds and are ideally suited to the removal of broken up concrete, plaster, brick, particle board, and other debris.

What is unique about the functionality of the Easy Rack self dump hopper?

Easy Rack self-dumping hoppers are manufacture with standard features that make them highly versatile and durable. Every hopper has a safety lock that prevents the hopper from accidentally dumping its contents when it is jostled in route over rugged terrain. It also has a rope release that allows the operator to discharge the unit’s contents when it is elevated. The rope also enables a worker on the ground to empty the unit if necessary. To hold the dumping hopper securely on the forklift, a safety chain keeps the unit from sliding off the forks, and a grab hook keeps the chain out of the way when it is not in use.

Can you customize these hoppers?
Yes. We can add heavy duty casters with 8” diameter polyurethane wheels with roller bearings can be added to the unit. The combination of larger wheels, bearings, and polyurethane itself makes it much easier to move light and medium loads over rough terrain. Casters are bolted to the hopper’s base instead to allow for quick replacement if they become worn or damaged.

Please understand that adding this option will require sacrificing some of the hopper’s strength. Units with steel casters lose approximately 4,000 pounds of weight capacity from this customization. Generally, casters are added for light-duty work and should be ordered only after confirming applicability with a professional.

Can self dumping hoppers be used with cranes?
They most assuredly can be. With a lifting hook welded to each corner of the unit, shackles can then be added to attach slings to the hooks that can be picked up by a crane. Lifting hooks can support both an empty self-dumping hopper and one that is loaded to its full capacity.

Please be aware that whenever hooks are added to a hopper they will not allow the hopper to be discharged while suspended from the crane, but the hopper must be removed and picked up by a fork truck to dump its contents.

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

Shelving Racks & Rack Shelves

Rack Shelving transforms floor space, walls, and large sections of the vertical cube into organized storage space. Shelving racks are made from the highest commercial grade steel and can be obtained in any size or industrial strength. New and used models ban be ordered in open backed shelf racks, closed back racks, or wide span units. Shelving racks are often connected together either side by side or one on top of the other. It is not unusual to find several open backed units connected side by side and used to store paperwork and company files. Closed backed shelving systems can be linked together one on top of the other in a “box shelving” configuration that can hold up to 2,000 pounds of weight.

The strength and longevity of Easy Rack shelving is unmatched in the material handling industry. Each unit, regardless of build or weight capacity, is coated with two layers of protection prior to being drop shipped to its destination. The first protective layer is a coating of iron phosphate that prevents oxidation from salt air and airborne industrial pollutants. The second protective layer is baked enamel painted onto the steel racking that helps reduce dents and warping during use and accidental impacts.

The commercial grade steel used in the manufacture of our rack systems ranks as the highest in the industry. Because bay doors and loading docks of many facilities are often open to the outdoors—and therefore exposed to extremes in heat and cold in many parts of the country—Easy Rack commercial shelving systems are reinforced with the highest commercial grade metal protectors to make sure your material storage units withstand the elements over the course of many years of use and extended exposure to climate variations.

Two of our most popular and versatile rack shelving options are industrial metal warehouse shelves and long span and wide-span warehouse shelving, also known as Rivet Rack Shelves.

Industrial Rack Warehouse Shelving
Warehouse storage shelving racks are frequently stacked on top of each other and bolted together to create boxed shelving systems. Such systems can easily hold up to 2,000 pounds of material.

Warehouse shelves can be bought as in either open-backed units or close-back units. Open-back shelf systems give employees convenient access to materials from all four sides. Closed back units act like cabinets that can either be stood against the wall or shut tight and locked up after hours.

Long-Span Shelving Racks
Long span used commercial shelving racks are designed to stand to the side of a room or warehouse and convert horizontal and vertical wall space into storage shelving. These wide span units can be linked end-to end to cover the entire wall of a large facility, or they can be used as stand-alone units behind counters in retail service centers, parts stores, and hardware stores.

Wide span shelving is made from 24-gauge steel shelving supported by steel beams built around a two-piece design. This increases the shelving rack’s center of gravity and allows it to evenly distribute loads that weigh up to 35,000 pounds.

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.

Used Pallet Racks

What benefits can we expect from used pallet racking?
Used pallet racks can save you up to 40% of the purchase cost of new pallet racks. For less money, you can experience the same structural stability, safety, and organizational benefits of pallet racking systems with less of a hit to your budget. Used pallet racks are equivalent in quality and performance to new systems.

What type of used pallet racking systems do you carry?
We can supply you with any standard model or arrange to have a custom pallet rack system built from used parts. Both standard and custom models can be obtained through your Easy Rack material handling specialist. We will provide you with the best system for your particular environment, terrain, indoor or outdoor conditions, and seismic quality of the floor or ground on which they are installed.

What type of used pallet rack do you sell the most?
Most of our clients prefer the teardrop pallet rack systems. Teardrop pallet racks are the industrial standard for most warehousing and manufacturing applications. They offer you a bolt less design that makes them easier to assemble and adjust. You will also have a more stable platform with less likelihood of buckling in the middle. Easy Rack teardrop systems are built heavy channel steel and supported by tensile steel columns to provide you with the safest and most reliable platform possible.

What is the difference between industrial and heavy duty used pallet racks?
There really is no difference between these terms. Heavy duty used pallet storage racks have metal shelving designed for high traffic and fork truck access. “Industrial” is sometimes used to refer to pallet racks with weight capacities of up to 48,000 pounds. They are constructed from structural steel and designed to withstand occasional fork truck collisions.

What type of pallet rack decking should be used?
Used wire decking is the most common type of decking used in industrial pallet racks. We can provide you with any of the three main forms of wire decking: waterfall, reverse waterfall, and lay-in decking. Fire codes are beginning to require wire decks because they offer no obstruction to fire suppression.

We can also provide you with wood decks can also be obtained by special request, but are not generally recommended due to the trend to use wire for fire codes. Heavy duty steel decking should be used for heavy duty industrial storage.

What are the best pallet racking systems?
Warehouse pallet rack systems and structural pallet racking systems normally meet the needs of almost all applications

Used warehouse pallet racks organize and store materials for organizations that anticipate growth or expansion. These systems are intended for adaptation and modification as workload and/or inventory increases. Warehouse pallet rack shelving helps convert your vertical cube and floor space into storage space, provide you with the best storage density within safety parameters, and facilitate either hand or fork truck access.

Used Structural Pallet Racks are extra sturdy, more stable, and more resistant to collisions than standard rolled pallet rack systems. Structural upright systems are available in a number of well-known, standard styles that include, but are not limited Inca, Sturdibilt, Steel King, Frazier, Arco, and Speedrack. Some pallet flow racking systems are designed for use exclusively indoors, while others can be used outdoors in construction or shipping areas.

Storage Shelving

Storage shelving units enable facility managers to convert unused space into valuable storage and organization space. Workers complete tasks faster when they can access materials quickly, safely, and easily. Companies often find these results in a significant reduction of man-hours and the elimination of overtime hours. Storage shelving also can potentially convert sufficient vertical cube space into storage space that a facility that was previously overcrowded now has plenty of room to continue operating, and the need to relocate no longer exists. Keeping overhead at a minimum and helping companies avoid the expenses of moving are just two examples of how storage shelving units can generate a tangible return on investment for organizations that invest in them.

Storage shelving systems can be used for storing almost any item or container that has a flat bottom surface. The bulk of our 18 gauge and 20 gauge steel wire shelves can easily handle 400-450 lbs in weight. Weight capacity is not the factor to consider when making a purchase, however. It is equally important to balance the load you are storing as it is to support the load. Otherwise, storage shelves can become imbalanced toward the front and tip over during use. To prevent this hazard, calculate the total length, width, and height of the total items you plan to store. The wider the crate or box, the more physical shelf area you will need to evenly distribute the load.

Easy Rack used commercial storage shelving is available in open backed models and closed back models. Both bring specific benefits to different environments and tasks. For smaller items that do not weigh very much, open backed systems provide plenty of support and allow workers to retrieve materials from the front, back, or even the sides of the shelves. Open back storage shelving is often used inside offices to store file boxes containing invoices, tax documents, and employee records. They are ideal for storing office supplies when you run out of closet space, or for storage in portable buildings that have no closets. Closed back shelves or custom made shelving are more stable because they partly rest against the wall. This reduces the risk of tipping and also helps conserve floor space.

If you intend to store very heavy crates, machine parts, or heavy containers, it is vest to overestimate the amount of weight capacity you will need and invest in an industrial strength storage shelf, rivet shelving or a wide span system. Employees may not be aware of the amount of weight already stored on the unit, and they may inadvertently add more materials than the unit can handle. This often happens when people are in a hurry. Industrial shelves are designed to minimize the risk of tipping, but overloading them will cause them to bow in the middle and reduce unit lifespan. Planning ahead will prevent this from occurring. When calculating weight capacity, always purchase storage steel shelving that allows room for growth and allows for contingencies and human error as well.

Also, please be aware that shelving dimensions refer to the total L x W x H measurements of the steel components, not the actual cubic storage space. As in the case of weight capacity, it may be necessary to purchase the next size up to give your facility the cubic storage you need for all of your materials. You can also call an Easy Rack material handling expert and look into having a custom unit built along to special dimensions.

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

Loading Dock Lifts

Loading Dock Lifts
Scissor Table loading dock lifts will help to reduce man-hours and improve safety when a facility lacks a loading dock. A lift controlled by hydraulic cylinders raises materials to the truck. Easy Rack loading dock lifts are engineered for optimal safety, help reduce the risk of injuries, and greatly improve time to market efficiency. Every unit features user-friendly controls in the form of a push button, 24V AC on a 20 foot long coil cord. A pre-wired control box includes a magnetic starter and overload fuse, and an emergency velocity fuse stops momentum in the event of a line break.

Loading dock lifts also have high visibility, removable handrails with fixed toe boards. The checkered deck plate on each unit is manufactured from heavy gauge steel and is intended to last for years. The perimeter of the platform is surrounded by beveled toe-guards and electric toe-guards to prevent slips and falls. The electric toe-guard is a patented device essential to the safety of personnel. It is made from L-shaped aluminum extrusion and hangs below the entire perimeter of the deck. This is important, because if the loading dock lift is being lowered when a worker’s hand or foot crosses its path, the guard will be triggered and the scissor table will automatically stop. When the object is removed, the lift table once again begins to move. It is not necessary to reset the unit to resume operation.

Toe-guard provisions are standard OSHA and ANSI safety measures present on a variety of platforms. They built into the scissor table loading dock lift for compliance protocol. The unit is also semi-portable, and can be operated up to 8 feet away from the 6.5 HP motor that drives it.

Easy Rack offers a number of premium scissor table loading dock lift options that can be requested at the time of your order. These options customize the unit to specific requirements and tasks, and they can be obtained through your Easy Rack Specialist at no additional cost.

Premium Truck Scissor Dock Lift Options

SPLIT ALUMINUM TRUCK BRIDGE
The standard steel bridge can be replaced with an aluminum bridge measuring 72" wide x 18" long. This is ideal for government applications.

SPLIT STEEL BRIDGE
If necessary, an additional 72" wide x 18" long split steel bridge can be added to the opposite side of unit.

REMOVABLE HANDRAILS/TOE BOARDS
This is advantages when the unit is mounted in a pit. The additional handrails and toe boards allows the loading dock lift to be flush with the floor for fork truck cross traffic.

WARNING BEEPER & STROBE
In areas of heavy human traffic, this offers an added safety precaution The beeper sounds at 80 decibels- loud enough to be heard over most light machinery.

ADDITIONAL APPROACH RAMPS
Easy Rack can also fit the loading dock lift with additional approach ramps and hydraulic lines. Approach ramps can be obtained from your Easy Rack specialist for lowered height lifts of 8”-12”, depending on the size of the added ramp. Approach ramps must be anchored to the floor.

ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL CHANNEL AND SUPPORTS FOR DECK
Ideal for heavy duty construction, this increases the rollover capacity of the loading dock lift up to 50,000 lbs., (25,000 lbs. per axle).

SAFETY ACCORDION SKIRTS
Keep people and debris from getting under the loading dock lift. We recommend customer installed skirts to avoid freight damage.

SPECIAL RESERVOIR MOUNTING
We can fabricate a platform for your power unit if motor cannot sit on the ground or if unit is portable.

AUTOMATIC WHEEL CHOCKS
As the unit lifts, this option blocks the dock end of the ramp to avoid roll off. Wheel clocks require a special pit mount.

STOP SIGNAL SIGN
As the truck approaches the loading dock lift, the sign will raise to let the driver know when to stop for safe loading/unloading.

KEY LOCK OPERATION
This prevents unauthorized use of the lift by locking out the controls.

TWO SPEED PUMP
Increase lifting speed by 55% when lift is unloaded. This is ideal for unloading applications.

SPECIAL COATINGS

Pallet Rack Removal Specialists, Forklift Pallet Attachments & Material Handling Ergonomic Pallet Moving Equipment

It is a good idea to outsource your pallet rack removal if you are moving to a new facility. Because almost everything your will be receiving in your new location arrives on pallets, having the correct fork lift attachments and other ergonomic pallet trucks on the day you open the doors of your new facility will prevent you from missing a step in your receiving cycle. Professional and reliable pallet rack removal by Easy Rack will safeguard the efficiency of your operations and ensure the safe storage of materials on heavy duty racking systems you can count on to be ready for use the day you move in.

Easy Rack recommends you outsource used pallet rack removal to us simply because the task is not as simple as it looks at face value. Modern warehouses feature much more complex designs than the old shell buildings of decades past, and the proper removal, relocation, and setup of your pallet rack shelving requires an expert who can assess the dimensions of your new facility, estimate the most efficient use of your new floor plan, and take all relevant safety requirements fully into account.

Professional pallet rack removal ensures not only human safety, but also the safety of your racks, materials, and supplies. Because these pallet storage units hold up hundreds and thousands of pounds of weight (and sometimes weigh quite a bit themselves), it takes trained professionals to properly remove stored components, disassemble your pallet racks, and remove them without damage or incident.

While it might be possible for some companies to handle their own pallet rack installation and removal safely, it is almost impossible to get it done quickly without losing time and money in the process.

By outsourcing your pallet rack removal to an Easy Rack specialist, your company will minimize the risk of catastrophic accident in your storage areas, and it will also maximize your chances that your pallet racks will be moved and re-installed in optimal shape and working condition.

Our professional pallet rack installers will not only install your systems, but they will test them for strength and integrity to make certain they are ready for use before you open the doors of your dock.

We do this for any client, anywhere in the nation. Each pallet rack and new facility is unique, so pallet rack removal is implemented on a case-by-case basis with careful attention being paid to critical details such as heat stress levels in the new facility, securing the units to the cement floor, and any necessary bracing to offset seismic activity in your area.

Let me tell you about Easy Rack ships and installs a wide variety of commercial shelving, material-handling equipment, commercial warehouse lighting, used pallet racks, Parking Lot Lighting Fixtures, Athletic Sports Lighting Equipment, Commercial Grade Christmas Lights, Tennis Court Lighting and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Decorative Safety Bollards Provide an Attractive Traffic Control Solution for Pedestrians, Cars & Business Owners.

Sometimes it is not only necessary to protect certain areas and contents within a facility, but to also make those areas look a bit more polished and attractive to visitors and guests. Factories and warehouse often have to play host to corporate leadership, strategic partners, or big money investors who come by to “tour the facility” and quietly judge in the process. Decorative bollards are an excellent, affordable way of spiffing the place up for important guests.

Decorative safety bollards are also every bit as functional and practical as standard equivalents and can be counted on to protect equipment and supplies and safeguard areas of a facility from traffic and accidents.

Decorative bollards are also a great way to take a less is more approach to decoration because they are small and inexpensive in comparison to the more formal decorations required for decorating office space.

For a company who can afford to purchase new equipment, we recommend decorative, removable ornamental bollards whenever an upgrade becomes necessary. These units provide the same functional barrier to vehicle access and parking as stainless steel equivalents. They offer facilities the added value of a more attractive appearance and the convenience of portability.

Removable ornamental bollards can be locked into position by means of galvanized steel sockets cemented into the ground. This allows the bollard to be removed at will when required. The sockets have covers that slide into place to protect the hole and create a smooth surface area with no protrusions. This eliminates potential trip hazards and also prevents an unsightly hole from suddenly appearing in the concrete.

Decorative steel bollards can be padlocked in place to prevent unauthorized removal and also have eyes for attaching chain or rope.

For companies on tight procurement budgets, Easy Rack provides decorative bollard accessories that make standard steel bollards both more decorative and easier to maintain.

Bollard Caps
Decorative bollard caps are removable, unlike steel caps that are welded into place and cannot be removed. Using a removable cap allows you to fill the unit with concrete to increase its mass and resistance to accidental impact.

Decorative Bollard Covers
Easy Rack has eight styles and colors to choose from that add an entirely different look to existing units and eliminate the cost and time of having to repaint them. They minimize maintenance and improve appearance. This ¼” thick polyethylene thermoplastic material slides over your bollard. Many different styles and colors to choose from. Custom colors and sizes are also available by placing a special order with an Easy Rack specialist.

Heavy Duty Bollard Posts, Plastic Yellow Bollards, Safety Barriers, Traffic Bollards & Safety Equipment from Easy Rack

A great way to protect facilities, restricted areas, equipment, and sensitive materials is to use bollard posts. One or more of them will provide an effective barrier against industrial and material handling equipment impact but nevertheless allow pedestrian traffic to move freely into and out of areas.

Most bollard posts are made from steel and are treated with a powder coat finish, although some are painted with chrome for decorative purposes. In most industrial environments, the standard color is safety yellow because it provides high visibility at loading docks and ramps.

Although square bollard posts are used in some places, most Easy Rack clients prefer round steel bollard posts. Steel Bollard Posts are used outdoors to protect buildings and supplies and are also used inside warehouses to protect against forklift collisions.

Easy Rack also sells smoker's bollard posts that are designed specifically for cigarette smokers. They have proven themselves to be excellent motivators to encourage employees in the safe disposal of cigarettes that otherwise get tossed on the ground to burn near chemicals and shoes.

Each unite features a 1 ¼” diameter opening in the side of the post near the top for cigarette butt disposal. A removable top allows for the bollard to be periodically emptied. The top is lockable with a padlock to prevent unauthorized tampering and/or vandalism.

Folding bollards allow outdoor traffic areas to be closed to vehicles when the post is locked in the vertical position. When the way is clear, the bollard can be lowered to the ground to allow material handling equipment to roll safely over its surface.

This offers an excellent and very valuable safety feature for docks and loading ramps where people are working in the entranceway and vehicle traffic has to be temporarily stopped until they have completed their worked and cleared the way.

Bollard posts can be used to protect industrial shelving systems, mezzanine systems, pallet racks, commercial shelving, and sensitive equipment and supplies of all types. A wide variety of sizes are available through Easy Rack in both used and new condition. Easy Rack also supplies installation hardware and optional dome bases to cover obtruding installation bolts at the base of bollard posts.

Easy Rack supplies clients throughout the United States with ornamental bollards for decorative use around landscaping, building front entrances, special parking areas, and driveways. These posts consist of the same steel manufacture as other bollards but are coated with a bright chrome finish to make them more decorative.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of commercial shelving, material-handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide. Have you heard about Easy Rack?

Desk Movers, Material Handling Carts, Hand Trucks, Loading Dock Equipment - Buy Online Today From Easy Rack

Are you in the process of moving offices or perhaps relocating to a new office? Using a desk mover from Easy Rack can save your back and make the process of transporting desks and other furniture a breeze.

Change is constant in a dynamic business environment, and being in a position to make those logistical changes within your organization without impacting on the flow of work is important.

Moving large desks is one activity that causes headaches in any size office reorganization. The process of loading and unloading drawers, and moving the various bits and pieces of equipment used by hundreds of people can be a huge problem and take weeks of careful planning, not to mention a huge number of boxes. This kind of mass desk move will also have a major impact on productivity over a period of days. This is unnecessary, and by using a special desk mover, you will be able to improve the flow of the whole process and reduce the time that carting desks take by a huge amount, as well as reducing the impact on the workplace in general.

A desk mover is a special form of a dolly that is designed exclusively for safely lifting and moving desks. Easy Rack desk trucks feature a larger base than standard hand trucks, and support the desk in a level position so that items do not fall off or slide around as the desk is moved. The desk movers available from Easy Rack are roughly 32 inches wide and 16 inches deep, and can carry a desk weighing of up to 600 pounds.

Easy Rack serves commercial and industrial companies of all sizes while keeping the end-user in mind as well. So, when we here from our online customers, we like to share those remarks. Here are just a few testimonials and product reviews we have recently received:

We recently upgraded our security lighting using Easy Rack wall packs light fixtures. I was surprised at how easy they were to install and how much light they produced. The old incandescent lights we replaced are simply no match for these commercial grade fixtures. Our facility is now secure and we expect no problems from vandals going forward. Your company was a joy to work with! - Charles Shumacher

WOW- This new telescopic ladder is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I am a roofing contractor who has a bad back and struggles with a 24' extension ladder everyday. This is a real load off my shoulders and makes me look more professional to the clients. - Cliff Jacobs

Gracious Easy Rack! Sales at my Mexican Restaurant are terrific since installing several of your commercial water cooled patio fans. Since both outdoor fans are self contained, and operate up to eight hours without refilling, I do not have to use garden hoses or worry about someone tripping on them. It has made it much more enjoyable for my customers to drink, eat and relax during the summer months. - Hector Gonzales

The home owner's association wanted me to thank you in helping us with a professional lighting design layout. The decorative pole lights that you recommended have solved our security lighting issues and added a touch of class to our complex. Not one of our association members is unhappy with the look, performance or cost of the commercial metal halide lights! Thanks Easy Rack! - Mark Sheffield

We live in a gated retirement community where several of our close friends use wheelchairs and scooters to get around. Since buying your residential wheel chair lift last month, we no longer struggle getting anyone in and out of our home. In fact, we had the installer spray the wheel chair ramp to match our house trim color and you can hardly see it from the street. Thanks again! - Alice Ramsey

We have been inspired with our new carousel turntable from the day it arrived. Before getting this valuable material handling tool we used to go round and round with shrink wrap to prepare palletized loads for shipment. Now we just forklift the pallet onto the carousel and simply rotate the pallet to bundle the goods for shipment. Thank you Easy Rack for making our job easier! - Carlos Garcia

Easy Rack is one of the largest suppliers of new and used pallet racks, including the innovative pallet flow racking system.

What is new in pallet racking material handling equipment?
Pallet flow racks are one of the latest innovations in bulk storage metal racks. These pallet flow systems offer a number of advantages over conventional pallet racks, and are being installed in an ever increasing number of warehouses thanks to the increased efficiency and space saving factors that they offer to owners.

What makes pallet flow systems so unique over standard pallet racks?
While conventional pallet racking systems require strict stock control to ensure that the oldest stock is used ahead of newer acquisitions, this whole system is built into the construction of a pallet flow rack, and you will automatically rotate your stock. Unlike long bar pigeon hole racks, your stock is easy and continually rotated with pallet flow racking equipment.

How are pallet flow racks constructed and how do they work?
The actual construction of a Easy Rack pallet flow rack system is a fairly radical deviation from conventional static shelving, and while it requires a higher cost of installation and purchase over other options, it provides a number of benefits in terms of the space saving and better stock control that it offers as standard.

Essentially, in a pallet flow rack bulk storage system, pallets are loaded and unloaded the end of the racks rather than along the side. Instead of standard mesh shelving, a system of braked rollers along a gentle incline is used. Once pallets are loaded on one end of the rack, they begin sliding along to the other end where they fill up the storage area. The oldest items are always next in line to be unloaded, and this ensures that stock is not wasted and new articles are always next in line.

A system of air hoses can raise the shelving storage racks up at one end to allow it to roll along the shelf until it gets into the desired location for storage. Once the item is in place, the beams are lowered to a rest position so that the pallet remains in place. The wheels that the loads roll along are contained within the beam, and require minimal maintenance, keeping running costs for the pallet flow rack system as low as possible.

Where can I purchase pallet flow rack systems online?
Easy Rack is one of the largest suppliers of new and used pallet racks, including the innovative pallet flow racking system. Our trained material handling consultants can answer any questions you may have or assist you with an order. Feel free to contact us online or by calling us at 281-342-0200.

A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain spilled liquids.

If your business use volatile chemicals or oils in your business, then one of your main concerns as far as drum handling equipment goes is to reduce the possibility of accidents or spills. Aside from the costs and health issues associated with spilling volatile or expensive chemicals the major concern is reducing a risk of injury to your staff. Because accidents happen, it is important to put as many safety measures such as Easy Rack spill pallets in place to minimize the risk of release when a barrel topples over.

A plastic spill pallet is a variation of a standard pallet that is designed to contain any liquids that slosh out of a drum and prevent them from spreading across the floor. Any liquid can be captured in a reservoir under the pallet. There are a number of different models of spill pallets available from Easy Rack that are manufactured for various circumstances, although they all work in roughly the same way.

In general, the pallets need to be made from a non reactive material such as a plastic. Mostly, the material of choice is polyethylene. This is lightweight enough to be carried well on the fork lift, and can resist damage from almost any liquid that might be spilled as it is being moved around.

Depending on the kind of materials that you are moving around in oil drums, you can choose different Easy Rack spill pallets with various storage capacities for dealing with spills. From oil drum pallets that can contain just nine gallons of liquid through to much larger units that up to two full 55 gallon drums, and handle 120 gallons of spilled liquid.

The principal time when you will need a spill pallet is when drums are being moved around the workplace from one location to another. It is at this time, when the motion of the fork lift can cause a drum to topple over that it is most important to prevent spillage. Generally, it is not necessary to keep the drums stored on a spill pallet, as there is no need or justification for the additional cost in terms of a storage solution.

Why risk accidents when a simple spill pallet from Easy Rack can save you time and money. Hazards caused by accidental spills require tedious reporting and can erode a safe work place record. Let us carefully listen to you requirements and suggest the right solution for your needs. Operators are standing by at 281-342-0200 to assist you and to make the ordering process seamless. We can help you with all your material handing equipment needs and installation services. As a well recognized supplier in the industry, we have access to everything from modular building, commercial lighting equipment and any type of pallet rack or shelving unit you can think of.

Are you expanding an existing storage area, or constructing a warehouse for the first time?
Chances are you will need some pallet racking. There are a large number of considerations that you need to make when researching pallet rack installation companies. Easy Rack, a Houston based material handling company has the answers and can help! From the layout to the actual rack systems that you plan to use, the whole process of installing the shelving and creating your storage area is a complex one that needs plenty of thought and planning before the first bolt is tightened.

What are the warehouse conditions of your facility?
A concrete floor is essential, as much of the pallet rack’s strength comes from the way that it is securely fitted to the floor, and unless this can be achieved, then the whole structure will be compromised. The floor must be flat, level, and solid. You need to allow enough aisle space in the floor area to allow easy access to the pallet racks with pallet jacks and fork lifts.

How difficult is it install pallet racks?
Pallet rack installation is a complex process because the weight that the rack will be required to support can be extremely heavy. It is essential that you produce a system that is completely square and level. A plumb line needs to be used in order to maintain the storage rack as a vertical section so that weight is properly supported. Making sure that all the beams and legs are properly secured to the ground at the same time as maintaining horizontal levels throughout the racks will prevent goods sliding around later.

What is the main benefit of bulk material handling equipment?

Fork lift trucks are often the basis for many of the innovative products that are available to handle raw materials, and there are a number of different fork lift attachments that can be fitted to the forks in order to make moving easier.

How important is the fork lift in moving bulk materials?
One of the most popular items of bulk materials handling equipment currently available is the standard fork mounted hopper that can be attached to the standard forks of a regular truck. Ideally, the hopper can be loaded with items for disposal by staff, or filled with raw materials in the warehouse before being carried on the forklift.

What is a fork lift hopper and how does it work?

The central piece of warehouse equipment is the forklift truck and material handling fork lift accessories!

The warehouse is in many ways the heart of any industrial operation. As the source of equipment, raw materials, and the core of both dispatch and inward handling of goods, any process failures within the warehouse can have very significant long term effects on your whole business. Having a smoothly operating orders system in your business will have a very positive effect on operations, and pay off in the long run in the form of greater productivity and profits.

The cornerstone of efficiency is providing the most appropriate warehouse equipment for your staff in order to make sure that whatever duties they have to carry out can be done easily and without error. Errors causing accidents, injury and damage to product are the greatest cause of unnecessary cost in the workplace, and in general, these errors can largely be avoided through the use of the proper warehouse equipment. Most errors seem to occur when personnel use improper equipment to perform a task, and because the warehouse equipment or warehouse lighting equipment that they are using is ill suited to the job, rather than being a specialist piece of kit, they must compromise on their work, and potentially cause damage.

The central piece of warehouse equipment is the forklift truck. These versatile machines are custom designed for moving equipment and materials around efficiently using fork lift accessories. Fork lifts are the basis for many other pieces of warehouse equipment such as special fork mounted hoppers and even drum hoppers that have been designed in order to make carrying unusual and unwieldy objects around much more simple.

Using the forklift as the core of your warehouse equipment will give you the chance to make lifting and carrying equipment from one place to another easier and quicker. It will be necessary to put wide aisles between any commercial shelving to provide access for the forklift, and this means a larger warehouse is required. Higher shelving units and pallet racks allow for more intensive use of space, but in turn require a forklift with a higher reach, and this has implications for cost and training.

The field of warehouse equipment encompasses a wide range of different items, and while not all of them require specific training for staff, time spent on improving the understanding and safety that can be observed by employees will pay off in the long term thanks to better efficiency, fewer accidents, and a more productive warehouse supplying all areas of your business.

Easy Rack, a Texas based material handling company can help. Call 713-553-1122 today for product information.

Get those juices flowing with an electric drum pump from Houston Texas based Easy Rack

Do you have a situation where a manual drum pumps is impractical for getting liquids out of 55-gallon drum or pails? Under these circumstances, using an electrical drum pump is a perfect solution that will both cut the amount of time taken and make things simpler for your staff. As with manually powered pumps, there are different types of design available from Easy Rack that serve slightly different purposes.

How do I regulate flow with an electric drum pump?
Electric drum pumps have the ability to provide a very smooth and tireless flow of liquid from a drum. Rather than the pulsing flow that comes from a manual piston drum pump, with an electrically powered model, the liquid is drawn out of the drum in a single smooth flow, meaning that there is less potential for splashing.

How do I prevent cross contamination of fluids?
It is common sense to use different electric drum pumps for each kind of liquid that you need to move. This prevents oil and water based liquids from contaminating each other and maintains all the liquids at the highest possible levels of purity. It is advisable to fully clean each pump system after use to prevent any blockage, particularly in any case where the drum pump has been used for liquids that can congeal such as paint.

Are there different pumps for volatile materials?
Yes, different kinds of liquids can react with the interior surfaces of the electric pump in different ways, and in order to ensure the long life and maintain the quality of your electric drum pump in the best possible condition, it is vitally important to use only the correct kind of pump with each chemicals. At Easy Rack, you can choose from 3 different materials inside the pump:

Polypropylene is a high quality plastic that is used in light duty drum pumps. Electric drum pumps using polypropylene are intended for use with light weight liquids, and can resist corrosion from acids. They are not generally compatible with solvents, as these can break down the chemicals in the plastic and cause the pump to fail.

Stainless steel pumps are useful under many different circumstances, and will not corrode, even if it is left immersed in water for long periods. Stainless steel can retain its strength with high weight oil and provided that the pump is well maintained, will remain in excellent condition indefinitely.

Aluminum pumps are good for a huge range of different liquids. They are generally slightly less hard wearing than stainless steel, although this will depend on the exact quality of the pump equipment that you are using, and the quality of maintenance. Aluminum generates its own surface patina on exposure to air, protecting the metal from reacting with acids, which means the pump can be used with a slightly wider range of chemicals.

If you are in the market for drum handling supplies such as drum carts, drum dollies, drum lifting equipment or even commercial lighting fixtures to light up the warehouse, Easy Rack is your kind of store. Our knowledgeable and friendly sales staff can assist with all types of equipment including wide span shelving, industrial shelving racks and ergonomic equipment such as carts, hand trucks and other helpful tools.

Easy Rack, a Houston based material handling supplier has a wide range of 55 gallon drum pumps available.

If you work with 55-gallon drums, you most likely have one or more commercial drum pumps that you use to extract or dispensing liquids!

Easy Rack, a Houston based material handling supply house has a wide range of 55 gallon drum pumps available. Drum pumps come in many shapes and sizes depending on your requirements. To identify the correct pump for your application you must first identify whether you are pumping thin liquids or something with more viscosity. For thin, light liquids such as water and light oil, you can use a regular piston pump, as very little force is required in order to get the liquid out. These lightweight pumps are simple to use, low cost and easy to maintain.

When a heavier gauge liquid is being stored in the drum, a standard piston pump will not have the power to draw up the fluid without a great deal of effort from the operator, and a more powerful system is required. Easy Rack offer a number of 55 gallon drum pumps that feature a lever attached to the top of the standard piston. This, coupled with a larger chamber in the piston makes it much easier to pump liquid out of the drum and into an appropriate receptacle to be used elsewhere in the building or site.

The drawback with both kinds of piston based pump is that they are both limited to producing a relatively uneven flow of liquid, and this can lead to spills and accidents. When liquids are pumped out using a piston, the pressure varies considerably, and this results in pulsing or uneven flow rates.

An alternative to a drum style piston pump is a rotary pump. With these 55 gallon drum pumps, you will be able to get a steady flow of liquid out of the drum, and even deal with the heavier gauges of oil and even paint.

If you are considering replacing a drum pump, ergonomic material handling equipment or any of the following commercial material handling products, just give us a call.

Easy Rack has a terrific selection of 55-gallon drum material handling equipment!

Oil drums are some of the most widely used storage containers in the marketplace. Easy Rack has a terrific selection of drum material handling equipment to choose from. 55 gallon drums hold all types of liquids such as oil, paint, chemicals and other solvents. They are durable, practical and provide an excellent means of storing and warehousing bulk quantities of liquids.

Full 55-gallon drums can be extremely heavy, and in order to maximize the safety of all employees when moving and handling drums, precautions need to be taken, and the proper equipment used for the safety of customers and employees.

Moving these heavy drums can pose a unique challenge without the use of commercial drum carts. These heavy duty material handling carts provide a perfect means to move even the heaviest drums around the workplace conveniently and safely. Unlike a standard hand truck or dollie, the low profile design, sturdy wheels and cradle feature of drum carts provide a safe and secure way to move drums with out fear of dropping or spilling the load.

Drum dollies are another means warehouse managers use for moving single drums. You typically see these used on drums that have been converted into storage containers or trash cans. They are cost effective solutions to everyday problems.

Call Easy Rack at 713-553-1122 and let us help you make the best selection of material handling equipment and supplies. If don't have it, we'll will get it for you!

A quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening experience much more enjoyable.

Are you in the commercial nursery business, a landscaper, lawn service provider or just an avid gardener who loves being outdoors? Regardless of your situation using a quality garden cart from Easy Rack can make your gardening task much more enjoyable and certainly more productive.

Garden carts allow you to easily navigate rough terrains and safely transport bulk materials that your would otherwise have to carry or perhaps place in a wheel barrow. Wheel barrows can sometimes be clumsy or dangerous should your load shift or the front wheel hit an obstruction. Carrying such things as bags of mulch, stepping stones and fertilizer can be detrimental to your back. These risks are minimized with utility carts, garden carts or any rolling cart.

The highest quality materials are used throughout the construction of all our industrial carts and they all come fully powder coat finished to help them to resist corrosion that comes from chemicals, fertilizers and from just being outside in the garden. One of the most popular designs of lawn and garden carts available is a simple platform truck with four heavy duty pneumatic wheels. These platform garden trucks have a mesh bottom supported by metal spars that allows loose dirt to simply drop through onto the ground, while holding pots and sacks in place. The use of mesh also prevents rainwater from pooling on the platform, and reduces the risk of rusting.

These are commercial grade cart products that professionals use. You won't find these rolling carts at your local home center or hardware store. If you are interested in learning more about our material handling equipment and in particular, contact Easy Rack at 713-553-1122.

We are here to help and want to grow our relationship with you!

Commercial warehouse carts are the ticket for any lightweight material handling chores.

Commercial carts are a mainstay of the commercial and industrial market place when it comes to transporting materials and goods throughout a warehouse or office. I'm not talking about wood crates or giant boxes that may require a forklift or pallet movers but, small items that make up the bulk of warehouse activities.

Typically in a warehouse or store there is a constant flow of smaller items arriving from vendors, and being dispatched to both internal and external customers. This results in a range of different requirements so that goods are always carted in the most appropriate way. By utilizing Easy Rack commercial carts through all aspects of the distribution chain, you can ensure that items are received, stored, and transported to their final destination with a minimal effort or damage.

Normally when commercial bulk merchandise arrives from the supplier they come palletized and in large quantities that require more elaborate material handling equipment such as fork lifts with attachments. The reason for this is to make them easier to transport in large quantities, and also makes general storage a much easier proposition, as the pallets of goods can simply be stacked on pallet racks or transported using pallet trucks until required.

Depending on your particular business model, the merchandise will either be removed from the pallet and then delivered to customers by common carrier, through mail order or private delivery services. Easy Rack has a large number of different commercial rolling carts available that have been specially designed to effectively and safely move any size package. Larger items require more robust material handling carts, and smaller items do not.

If you maintain a system at your office or warehouse where workers individually pick items off the shelf in the warehouse to be sent out as a complete order, then a warehouse rolling cart is a perfect tool to keep orders separate, minimize mistakes and improve productivity.

We Specialize In Durable Material Handling Equipment , New & Used Pallet Racks, Industrial Shelving, Tire Storage Racks, Commercial Lighting, Industrial Ladders, Storage Racks, Gantry & Jib Cranes.

Call us at 713-553-1122 and let us help you make the best material handling investment within your budget. We are located in Houston Texas and look forward to your call partner!

Moving merchandise can be a real chore without proper material handling carts to make the job easier!

We recently opened a small warehouse style specialty liquor store that deals in wine sold by the case. Our customers have complained that lifting these cases into standard wire shopping carts is too difficult and I am afraid someone will get hurt. I was looking at your website and discovered the material handling section. Fortunately, we have enough isle space to support these commercial grade rolling carts. What type of material handling solution do you recommend for my situation?

Easy Rack has all shapes, sizes and configurations of material handling carts. These rolling platforms are perfect for your customers to load and unload wine without risking injury. I would go with a medium to light duty rolling platform cart as apposed to a commercial warehouse cart. They come in composite plastic and lightweight aluminum.

The aluminum carts are sturdier and will probably will be your best option. We have carts with both single and double handles depending on your preference. The hard rubber wheels and sturdy platform will work well on a tile or concrete floor allowing good mobility for your staff and clients.

Why not give one of our sales associates a call at 713-553-1122 to order your cart today. We look forward to your call and the opportunity to earn your business.

The uni-tilt is one of the most versatile material handling tools that manufacturing and distribution clients can invest in.

The uni-tilt is one of the most versatile material handling tools that manufacturing and distributorship clients can invest in.

Minimizing the time that workers spend unloading and processing each individual component can make the difference between project completion on time and costly overhead and double time. Warehouse employees find the uni-tilt invaluable because it combines compact size and user-friendly operable. This combination allows them to unload containers at maximum speed with minimum physical effort—leaving more time and energy to efficient and safe storage of product on shelving, mezzanine systems, and storage racks. Easy Rack offers several series of ergonomic material handling including uni-tilts from which procurement specialists and facilities managers may choose.

The single scissor lift and tilt table is one of our more popular uni-tilts.

An integrated maintenance lock on this series uni-tilt helps prevents accidental slippage. It also includes a pressure-plated pump and pressure-compensated flow valve that helps to ensure smooth, consistent operation. The engineering of the uni-tilt’s pump, valve, and oil return system give it multi-functionality on the facility floor. Workers can more easily control the unit with a selector pedal that they are able to operate with their feet—leaving their hands free for work. The lift can either elevate a container while tilting it, or tilt the container first and then lift it. The Single Scissor Lift and Tilt Table includes a 2 HP AC power unit that features a hand pendant control operating at standard 208-230/460V, 3 PH. This is a stationary unit and works best in locations where multiple workers are handling shipping/receiving orders or product intake, allocation, and storage. Platform sizes range from 24" x 48" to 96" x 48". Load capacity on the largest uni-tilts is 6,000 lbs.

For the same ergonomic efficiency that can be combined when needed with the mobility of a fork truck, Easy Rack also provides industrial clients with the Portable uni-tilt.

Like its stationary counter part, the Portable Uni-Tilt lift tables enables workers to unload containers with a minimum of exertion. It can be moved quickly throughout the facility with a fork truck and placed wherever needed. It features the same basic components and engineering design as the single scissor lift, and it can handle load capacities of up to 4,000 lbs. Fork pockets measure 8” X 3” , making them compatible with virtually any fork truck.

For small single site companies that have only a mini warehouse attached to the back of the building, the tight quarters make the uni-tilt not only a luxury, but in some cases a necessity.

There is little room to move in such locations, and a uni-tilt in the work area or near the storage racks can function can not only make work easier, but it may also be the only way of getting the work done at all.

If you are in the market for a quality ergonomic work table, Pallet Jacks, Warehouse Lighting or even a new or used industrial shelving, Easy Rack has just what you need. Give us a call at 713-553-1122 or ask our experts any questions regarding industrial or commercial material handing supplies.

Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products.

What are the benefits quick lifts offer?
Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products. Battery-powered quick lifts operate quietly and help reduce noise pollution that can be both a nuisance and a safety hazard in and of itself.

What types of Quick Lifts do you offer?
Steel, Versatile, and Aluminum. Steel is best for the heaviest loads, whereas versatile and aluminum models are used for lighter materials and situations where space is limited and maneuverability often difficult to achieve.

Steel Quick lifts
Steel Quick lifts are actually very lightweight, quiet, and easy to maneuver. These units load quickly with a push of a button with any number of control options enumerated above. Battery powered operations keep the units at a minimum noise level, and a number of AC battery charging supplies are available through Easy Rack to keep optimal operating levels constant and ready. These units work very good in clean room environments.

Versatile Quick lifts
An economical, DC powered alternative to steel Quick lifts, this lifter has a high service range and four swivel casters to provide great versatility and convenience. It serves as an ideal tool for light industrial or commercial applications. It only takes 18 seconds for the 57" platform to travel from the floor to the storage surface, making the versatile quick lift perfect for small companies with a warehouse being the office facilities, or for light loading in supply rooms for any type of industry. This lifter also works just as effectively outside. Top wheels facilitate loading into a pick-up or van. The Easy Rack tool tray and remote battery charger (included with purchase) are standard to each unit.

Aluminum Quick lifts
This is one of the safest lifters we carry. The strength capacity and lightweight of aluminum make this quick lift a solid, dependable, larger-sized alternative to steel lifters. Lift components are housed in a concealed column, eliminating pinch points and thus protecting workers who may inadvertently get too close to the column. An electromagnetic break and drive screw design do away with the drifting/coasting of load, making elevation a smooth, continuous movement ideal for storing sensitive and fragile supplies and components. Its fully programmable, state of the art motor controller allows for multiple lift speed adjustments to accommodate the personal physique and personal preferences of each individual worker.

Controls
We provide three different control options in quick lifts to make them as customized as possible to worker efficiency. The first is standard push button control for simple lifting/loading to a single, pre-determined elevation. The optional Programmable Height Indexing option allows workers to preset multiple working heights at a touch of a button. For certain DC powered models we also supply a detachable hand control that works wonders with extremely cumbersome or heavy products.

Are you having trouble manuevering items on your old fork lift and are looking for an ergonomic tilt master pallet truck?

Is your warehouses already at or near capacity with things stacked to the ceiling? Are you having trouble maneuvering items on your fork lift and you are looking for a better solution? Well, a Easy Rack ergonomic tilt master pallet truck can safely maneuver where a fork truck cannot and may be just what you are looking for to solve your problem.

Large pallets containing sensitive or delicate materials can also easily be damaged when using generic electric pallet jacks that lack the hydraulic lift to properly raise the supplies and move them from station to station or station. Consequently, worker safety can be at risk in cramped quarters where laborers have to manually lift supplies, boxes, crates, and barrels. It is a fact that severe back injuries can result from lifting only 25 pounds. Incorrectly, and the loss of skilled labor and the cost of workman’s compensation is far too much risk to take even for a larger organization.

Tilt Masters pallet trucks resolve all of these problems with hydraulic and electrical lifting systems that can safely elevate loads of up to 3 tons to the necessary height and tilt at up to 90° to accommodate dual function as a transportation tool and temporary replacement for a worktable.

Easy Rack carries commercial grade ergonomic tilt master pallet trucks for just about any size task. Our material handling specialists are knowledgeable and friendly. They can help you find just the right solution to your material handling needs.

Easy Rack sells Truck Cargo Bars to hold merchandise during transportation.

Easy Rack offer a wide range of different cargo bars designed to fulfill a number of requirements, and depending on the cargo you want to protect in transit, there is certain to be a set of bars that are precisely what you need. Truck cargo bars and hoops from Easy Rack are designed to fit across the width of a truck’s cargo area in order to prevent large objects from being able to move around during transport. The cargo bars are straightforward, easy to install and save driver's time and energy during deliveries.

Truck Cargo bars are all made to the highest standards and use high quality steel. The most basic Easy Rack cargo bars are a single adjustable spar of 1 ½ inch steel with a 4” square plate on either end to brace it against the inside of the truck. The cargo bars ratchet into position and then lock firmly into place, and thanks to the strength that comes from their 14 gauge steel construction, they will not flex or bend out of shape.

If you need a more secure method of support, particularly with expensive cargo, the E-Track system is perfect for your needs. This system features a rack that is fitted permanently onto the inside of the truck. Instead of relying on the tension in the bar holding it in place, with the E-Track system, your cargo bars lock firmly into the walls of the truck so they are unable to move.
Under circumstances where you need to be 100% certain that the cargo will not shift around the back of the truck during transit, the perfect solution is to use a set of cargo loops.

Visit Easy Rack to see more material handling equipment as well as our full selection of cargo bars and E-Track systems. We can be reached at 713-553-1122 or contact us online today!

Recycling hazardous waste products is now seen as being one of the most important factors for any business

Recycling waste products is now seen as being one of the most important factors for any business, and an auto workshop is no different from the norm. With both environmental benefits in the form of a reduction in the amount of raw materials required by industry, and a financial benefit in reducing the cost of disposing of hazardous waste, recycling is an important consideration for any business, and one of the most straightforward opportunities in the automotive service industry is an oil filter crusher. Easy Rack carries a wide selection of oil filter crushers which can prepare these otherwise bulky items for scrap metal recycling, as well as removing the waste oil for proper disposal.

By putting the oil filters through an oil filter crusher, all of the petrochemical waste inside it is forced out as the filter is shredded, crushed and compressed. All that is left is the metal that made up the unit, which can be recycled simply and does not require any special handling. The remaining oil is collected in a drum for easy disposal in line with the EPA regulations.

The cost of this recycling method is obviously much lower than alternatives, so over time the initial investment in an oil filter crusher for a workshop will pay off enormously. Why not start reaping the benefits of recycling, by considering a commercial grade oil filter crusher for your facility. Do your part for the world by disposing of these oily chemicals and scrap metals safely and correctly. Why create a bump in the road?


Let the experts at Easy Rack assist you with selecting just the right model for your needs by calling 713-553-1122 or contact us. We are here to help and welcome your call!

Aluminum Gantry Cranes Roll Into Action When & Where You Need Them!

Save Your Back - Call Easy Rack!

Are you constantly lifting, moving or hauling heavy items? Why not consider using an commercial grade aluminum gantry crane from Easy Rack. Aluminum gantry cranes are convenient and lightweight lifting tools that allow you to hoist an unwieldy item off the ground and then roll it to another location, or simply suspend it above the ground for service or repairs. Mechanics use hoists for lifting engines or for loading a heavy item into the back of a truck.

Gantry cranes are useful shop tools that have many different uses, and are sturdy enough to support up to 4,000 pounds in weight depending on their configuration and exact specification. Gantry cranes are also maneuverable and can easily be moved by a single person. While heavy duty enough to carry large weights, our aluminum cranes are also designed to have a very low footprint, allowing for easy storage within a regular workshop without taking it apart.

All of Easy Rack's aluminum gantry cranes come with four heavy duty locking and independent steel casters. That means they are easy to maneuver around the shop and can easily be handled by one individual. Lighter capacity aluminum gantry cranes come fitted with pneumatic tires, allowing for easy out door use. They move smoothly over flat terrain, and are completed with heavy duty brakes to keep the gantry steady when in use.
If you are in the material handling business, run a machine shop or deal in oil field components, consider contacting Easy Rack for all your needs. Specialists are standing by at 713-553-1122 to assist you. Thank you!

Fork Lift Extensions Provide Flexibility & Function To Any Size Fork Lift

Work Smart! Making the most effective use of existing tools and resources is the hallmark of prudent management, and this is nowhere more important than in a commercial warehouse environment. By investing in a set of fork lift extensions, you can increase the range of work that a single truck can perform.

Heavy and bulky materials can be extremely dangerous if moved with inadequate leverage or support provided by industrial fork lifts used with extensions. The first and most important use of these flexible tools is to increase the overall length of the lifting arms of the fork truck. You can add a maximum of 50% to the length of the forks, and this will allow your driver to carry much larger and bulkier loads with a standard forklift.

Extended forks mean that items that are loaded onto the truck are much more stable, and are a great deal less likely to tumble when they are being moved. By reducing the likelihood of items falling from the forklifts, you will be able to generally improve the overall safety of the working environment, and reduce the incidence of expensive accidents when items are dropped and damaged.

A wide variety of different fork lift extensions are available from Easy Rack, including specially shaped ones with either a circular or triangular profile. These extensions are designed to make carrying various loads much more stable. Rounded extensions ensure that hay bales and large rolls of material can be moved with ease, and effectively rule out the possibility of items rolling from a regular stock flat fork. With Easy Rack triangular extensions fitted to a forklift, almost any oddly shaped item can be carried securely with ease.

You know, the little yellow poles you see protecting gas pumps, sidewalks, drive thru windows, building entrances, loading docks, and parking lots. You also see bollards in the commercial lighting industry as pedestrian lights or path lighting.

Bollards and loading dock bumpers can prevent injuries and eliminate lawsuits from reckless drivers.

Easy Rack supplies medium duty and heavy-duty cantilever racks to construction and storage facilities nationwide. We carry used models for contractors on a budget and new cantilever racks for purchasing managers who insist on having the very best up front.

Cantilever racks offer more use of the vertical cube and help reduce the costs of expansion and moving. Their specific value lies in their ability to store items that cannot be stacked or easily organized in crates or shelving. Many furniture warehouses them to accommodate bulky and cumbersome pieces. Industrial facilities use them to store everything from pipe to tubing. Appliance manufacturers use them as well to store refrigerator and freezer units. Cantilever racks can sit back against the wall with arms extended, giving easy access to manual loading or forklift maneuvering and do not a separate aisle or special access point to reach. Easy Rack's sells a wide range of builds and dimensions engineered for different storage needs and load capacities. We carry medium-duty and heavy-duty models in over 30 specific dimensions.

Medium and heavy-duty cantilever racks feature single-sided uprights. All racks offer a great deal of durability because of a powder coat finish that makes them very tough under hard working conditions. Medium-duty units can be hand or forklift loaded, and heavy-duty cantilevers are ideal for heavy materials that require the use of forklifts. Our unique manufacturing process combines welded steel components with unique bolt construction, allowing these units to bear loads of up to 9000 pounds and customize to varying lengths by moving the arms to different levels and securing them in place with a key lock. All arms feature lips that prevent stored materials from falling on the floor or worker's feet.

Single-sided uprights customize easily to a number of individual shelving applications. Double-sided uprights allow for faster manual loading and forklift access. Many facilities use them for temporary storage, placing longer items such as pipe, tubing, bar stock and lumber securely on the uprights and out of the way for workers moving back and forth within the facility. One cantilever rack can store many different types of items because of the adjustable nature of the arms. Easy Rack's cantilevers measure up to 10 feet in height and can bear load capacities of up to 9000 pounds. We sell uprights and arms separately, not in pairs, so customers can choose exactly how many arms they need per unit. We also custom build systems for clients who call in with specific requirements.

Tired of toting heavy materials by hand? Are you constantly living in fear that you may pull or tear a muscle? Or even worse, ruin your back for life? It's time to get a grip and work smart!

Easy Rack knows that shipping and receiving is the lifeblood of the industrial and commercial world. Inefficiently run loading docks and unsafe working conditions can stagnate process flow a little at a time, causing profits to slowly dwindle away until a significant loss appears at the end of the year on the annual report. Operations managers can ensure this doesn't happen by investing in material handling equipment specifically designed for the loading docks.

Material handling equipment can even increase available workspace by converting the unused vertical cube between floor and ceiling space into a busy corridor for product and supply movement and storage. With heavy-duty material handling equipment such as ergonomic equipment, pallet trucks, bridge cranes and jib cranes, dollies, assembly lines and storage facilities can move products with three-dimensional handling previously available only in human hands.

Our material handling equipment inventory also features lift tables and cantilever hoists with a load capacity engineered to move the heaviest and most awkward items rapidly and safely with greatly reduced risk of product damage and human injury.

Easy Rack offers a complete inventory of material handling equipment of all types. Our wide selection of both new and used material handling equipment offers a safe and economical way for employees to efficiently do their jobs on a day-to-day basis. The tangible benefits companies can count on receiving in return for their investment is improved time to market, reduced risk of injury and subsequent insurance costs, and reduced and possibly eliminated overtime?all of which drive overhead down and profits up.
