Easy Rack - Material Handling Equipment, Modular Buildings & Commercial Lighting Products Online at Discount Pricing.

What does easy rack do?
Easy Rack solves the problems of overhead that result from time delays, insufficient space, and facilities outgrown by business expansion.

We supply companies with new and used material handling, storage shelves and storage tools that provide a cost effective alternative offer alternatives to expensive corporate moves and new building construction.

How do your tools help companies save money?
We supply products to companies that help them make better use of existing space, and that also help make work safer and less time consuming.

Our many storage units will transform the unused vertical cube of a building into new space that in many cases eliminates the need to move.

Our wide selection in material moving equipment enables companies to find the right tool for the right job and thus eliminate safety problems and time delays by making it simpler and faster to move supplies around the building.

This improves process flow in two respects. Better tools and improved organization means less time is involved in moving and storage. This means safer working conditions for employees that may have previously been working with inadequate tools, and it means fewer overtime and weekend expenses.

Do you have any used equipment?
Yes. Our products can be purchased either brand new or used in good condition. We have a huge selection of both new and used pallet racks as well as other industrial shelving products.

We are sensitive to cash flow issues and caps on procurement funding. When funds are limited, we offer the appropriate equipment used, providing our clients with the same fit to task without the added cost of brand new equipment.

Easy Rack works within the parameters of your corporate budget.

Do you provide only products, or do you provide services as well?
We drop ship all of our materials directly to the location you specify.

We also have recently expanded into the sale of all types of modular buildings, and we handle all of the setup of these structures as well as the shipping.

Since our founding as a material handling solution source, we have also expanded into modular buildings and installation.

Modular buildings allow you to turn of unused property into new prefab office space, security shacks, and additional storage buildings to their location at a fraction of the cost of new construction.

In many cases, companies who are facing what they think is an imminent crisis in space find out that modular buildings make use of space that previously went unnoticed, or appeared useless.

Construction companies particularly value this service because it allows them to literally build out an entire location on site that can then be moved at will to the next job

Customer Service
Our sales begin with customer service, as we aim to provide you with information on what best meets the needs of your facility and business cycle. We know that every company is different, and every facility unique. Our material handling blog is full of interesting and informative articles.

Our specialists are trained to understand you first and pinpoint the areas where we can best accommodate your operations, cost reduction, and improved annual profits. They can assist with commercial lighting products, material handling or modular shelters.
