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.

What do we have to do to order a used or new pallet rack?
Call Easy Rack and give a material handling account manager as much information about your industry, company, and warehouse as possible. Send blueprints and floor plans if you have them, and data like square footage, ceiling height, the industry you work in, the type of materials you will be storing, and a general estimate of the size and weight of pallets and containers to be stored on your racks.

We will do all the calculations for you and build you a system with the best support structure and weight capacitance for your unique storage needs.

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.

Industrial Shelving, Pallet Racking Systems, Mezzanine Decking, New & Used Pallet Racks Priced To Sell.

Easy Rack provides virtually every form of industrial shelving in all metal builds in both new and good, used condition. Our nationwide distributor network is able to drop ship any used or new piece of equipment directly to a warehouse or manufacturing facility. We also send professional installers onsite whose special skills not only setup used metal shelving, but also configure those systems to make maximum use of horizontal and vertical storage space.

The following FAQ is representative of some of the many questions we receive regarding these versatile and durable systems.

What do you recommend for heavy storage such as chemical containers and motor parts?
For something like this, you would need 24-guage Longspan metal shelving. These are some of the most heavy-duty systems you can get. Longspan systems are ideal for converting and compartmentalizing unused floor and wall space into an efficient storage area that can support extremely large or sensitive materials. They have been extensively coated to make them corrosion resistance, which is another reason they are so good for chemical storage.

Longspan units are available in sizes of up to 24-gauge and provide excellent, reliable storage platforms for large pieces of equipment, motor parts, or construction materials. Open back shelving systems are also very good for chemical storage because they have been especially designed for corrosion resistance.

What metal shelving system conserve space and provide multiple points of access?
Open metal shelves alloy you to do both. They are normally taller than wider, so they can use more vertical space in tight quarters. They also are open on the sides, front, and back and allow for easy reach from any angle.

They can be used inside of offices as well as warehouses, too.

What is the least expensive metal shelving system I can buy?
Rivet shelving is the least expensive of our metal shelf categories, and it is ideal for companies on tight budgets. It allows you to access material from all sides and do not use braces that could obstruct storage access.

What is the industry standard for metal shelving?
Metal pallet rack shelves are industry standard to most factories and warehouses. This is because so many types of materials are shipped on pallets. Pallet rack metal shelving lets you store the materials and the pallets they are on together until you are ready to use them. This enables your organization to streamline process flow by keeping materials securely stored on pallets from the time of delivery all the way up till they are used in the manufacturing process.

Metal shelving is tougher and more capable of heavy-duty support than any other material build. Wood can rot over time in humid climates, and plastic has nowhere near the weight capacitance of metal or wood.

Metal shelves feature last longer under normal wear and tear, and many are even designed specifically to withstand accidental impacts from forklifts and other material moving devices.

Nobody Does Pallet Rack Installations Better Than Easy Rack!

When creating a new storage area for your business, all industrial shelving methods must be reviewed and pallet racks are a good starting point. One should consider the quality of the pallets themselves as well as the pallet racking installation.

Most bulk materials are now delivered on pallets or bulk containers and organizing them within the warehouse makes internal and external material handling logistics of products on pallets much quicker. Fork lifts can be used to easily move items where they are needed, rather than picking them up individually by hand.

There is a common perception that used pallet racking installers are a dime a dozen. This is not a simple process that can be carried out by just anyone. Pallet rack assembly must be carried out by trained professionals who are experienced in all aspects of the process for nothing more than safety reasons.

Every pallet racking installation is completely different. From the material used in the flooring through to the height of the racks, and the kind of materials that your racking need to support, each installation has its own design considerations. Easy Rack has professionals that will evaluate the space for used pallet racks, and then customize the installation to those needs from start to finish in order to ensure that the whole process results in the most secure and safe system possible for pallet storage.

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.
