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.

For safety, all heavy duty pallet racks and shelving are fully inspected before the installation of the used pallet rack takes place. This ensures that any defective parts are not used, and maintains the overall integrity of the whole system to create storage space that is completely safe.

This will create a much stronger tear drop pallet racks that will be able to withstand the considerable weight of all the materials that are going to be placed on the racks.

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.
