Pallet Storage Racks & Racking

If you can only make a single material handling purchase this quarter, buy a pallet racking system. One or more used pallet storage racks will make your inventory control more efficient and improve your process flow. In most cases, it will also eliminate the need to expand a warehouse or move into a larger facility at great expense.

How can pallet storage racks help keep us from moving?
They will convert floor space and vertical cube space into organized storage areas that will be accessed by workers and fork trucks. We cannot stress enough to you how important it is to not use your floor space for storage that presents a hazard to workers and an obstacle to equipment. Getting stored materials off the floor and onto a new or used pallet racking system will improve safety ratings and enable you to better manage your inventory. When you know exactly what you have, where you have it, and how you can find it, you can much more easily manage your books and avoid double purchasing and over purchasing supplies, components, and materials.

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

Do you custom build any pallet storage racks?
Yes. We custom build every one of them. Every new or used racking system is a custom rack built to meet the specific needs of our client. Used pallet racks will save companies up to 40% and can be custom built from components we have access to through nationwide procurement channels. New pallet storage racks are also custom built.

Used Cantilever Racks

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why Buy New Cantilever Racks when Used Cantilever Racking Systems from Easy Rack are a Fraction of the Cost?

Used cantilever racks from a top quality online supplier like Easy Rack offer a number of advantages to your business over traditional purchasing channels. Online you are able to invest in the best quality materials in the marketplace, and also enjoy a substantial discount by purchasing used canteliver racks. This means that rather than having to settle for second best in terms of the quality equipment that is available within your budget, you can instead enjoy the highest quality canteliever and tear drop racks available, at a fraction of the brick and mortar store pricing.

Used cantilever racks make excellent use of space, and allow you to store more into a warehouse or storage facility. Rather than requiring pillars at both the front and back of the rack, cantilever systems transfer the weight that is supported on the commercial shelves into vertical force through a single support column. This is achieved by using a counterweight on a secondary set of shelving at the rear of the rack, or alternatively by mounting the unit against a wall.

When you buy new or used cantilever racks from Houston based Easy Rack, you get the same level of service that you would expect from a material handling company that specializes in industrial racking solutions. Easy Rack carries a wide variety of pallet racks, commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular buildings installed nationwide.
