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.

Material Handling Products

Material handling products either transport materials or store them safely and efficiently. Understanding the benefits of each product category makes purchasing what you need simple and cost effective. Easy Rack inventories a comprehensive selection of material handling products intended to completely anticipate and meet the needs of industrial manufacturing and warehousing facilities. Easy Rack experts will also help analyze your process flow if necessary to determine which products are the best fit for your particular facility.

Pallet Jacks
Pallet Jacks are material handling products that offer an economical way to move heavy pallet loads without having to use a fork truck. Many pallet jack models found in our online inventory feature ergonomic designs that allow operators to steer sharp corners with minimal effort and to pull heavy loads with only 75 pounds of force. Other models feature hydraulic systems that allow operators to lift up to 4,000 pounds without back or shoulder strain.

Self-Dumping Hoppers
Self dumping hoppers are basically large boxes with hinged bases that serve as waste disposal units. Fork trucks can pick them up and empty them through a convenient self-dumping mechanism that closes once the waste is disposed of. Easy Rack supplies a number of self-dumping hoppers designed to carry everything from wood and broken down boxes to hazardous materials and liquid waste.

Gantry Cranes & Jibs
Jib and gantry cranes are material handling products that maximize mobility with a minimum of accessories and relatively little assembly. Gantry and jib cranes feature pinned connections and do not require bolts or riveting to put together. Not only can a worker disassemble these material handling products single-handily, the crane can also be carried with a two-strap harness that fits across the back.

Jib cranes are material handling products that help employees work more quickly with less risk to personal safety. With a jib crane, a worker can lift materials from a cart to a workbench with no strain on the back.
Both steel and aluminum models are available through Easy Rack. Ask a material handling supplies expert which will work best for your needs.

Lift Master Booms
Lift master booms can add up to five feet in height to a fork truck. Easy Rack sells lift master booms in telescoping and non-telescoping designs. Short booms let you move equipment through tight spaces and aisles, while larger models can handle up to 4,000 pounds of weight.

Hand Trucks
Hand trucks are among the most versatile, cost effective, and efficient material handling products offered by Easy Rack. Specialized models exist for virtually every indoor and outdoor application. Each hand truck, regardless of size or engineering design, is made to provide your employees with the maximum amount of control for mobility regardless of weight loads.

Work Platforms
Work platforms are material handling products that provide a convenient method of transporting maintenance personnel where they are needed. They attach to fork trucks by means of fork pockets and chains. Each work truck platform features emergency stop button kits, web lanyards, and safety harnesses.

Shelving & Storage Solutions
Easy Rack storage solutions and shelves include everything from pallet racks for general pallet storage to medium and heavy duty cantilever racks. Both lines of material handling products offer flexibility and customization.

Traffic, Overhead, Parking, Portable, Vehicle, Safety, Plastic, Warning Barriers & Pedestrian Barricades

Barricades cordon off space between pedestrians and vehicle traffic and help to protect materials, supplies, equipment, and sensitive areas from accidental vehicle collision. Traffic barriers work to direct the flow of cars and trucks into and out of a facility. Overhead barriers protect equipment within buildings, and parking barricades create a portable, convenient, and safe method of regulating vehicle movements during important events. They also give a clear, visible warning to oncoming drivers that traffic in a certain area has been restricted and caution needs to be exercised.

Easy Rack supplies a number of safety barricades and barriers in both used and new models and drop ships them directly to your facility anywhere within the United States.

Poly Barricades
Poly traffic barricades are lightweight, portable devices that can be placed in parking lots or entry points in a matter of seconds. In situations where a heavier vehicle barricade is required, poly traffic barricades can be filled with liquid or sand for added weight. Each safety poly barricade features a 4” fill cap and 2” drain and a 520-pound fill weight. The colors of these barricades are ideal for applications where appearance is an issue. A 60-gallon orange model is available through Easy Rack, as well as a 70-gallon gray unit.

Poly safety barricades create excellent displays at municipalities, parks, and amusement centers, and parking areas while providing traffic and crowd control at the same time.

Pallet Storage Racking, New Pallet Racks, Used Shelving & Material Handling Storage Systems at Discount Prices Online from Easy Rack.

When installing a pallet storage racking system for your business, planning is absolutely essential to maximizing your storage capacity. The first stage of laying out the warehouse should always be to measure out the number of aisles that will be required, and to measure the appropriate width of them in order to allow access by a forklift truck. Then decide which type of pallet racks are suitable for storing your products. Finally, warehouse lighting should be considered the finishing touch to any well designed warehouse.

Once the floor plan has been laid out, and the amount of rack storage space that is available has been determined, the construction process can begin. At this stage of installing a pallet storage rack or cantilever rack, experience is essential. The rack must be built to withstand the extreme weights that will be loaded on it, and this means that the workers employed in building it must understand the whole process. Easy Rack use professional workers who are able to carry out the work from start to finish, and who have experience in ensuring that your pallet storage racks or reel racks are built to the exacting standards that are required to maintain high levels of safety and security throughout the lifetime of the system.
