What to look for when buying used heavy duty pallet racking and storage rack systems:

Insurance plays a critical role anytime a company invests in either new or used heavy-duty pallet storage racking.

Ruggedness and safety are key issues to discuss in detail with your commercial insurance agent.

Making certain that you comply with all industry standards will work toward minimizing liability when using heavy duty storage racking.

One more thing to pay very close attention to is your local fire code. A good part the country now requires wire decking in heavy duty pallet racking systems because steel and wooden decking will block the water coming from ceiling sprinklers in the event of a fire. While steel decks are still used for the heaviest duty industrial storage needs, there are many storage applications where wire decking will do just as well and also keep your facility in full compliance with regulatory agencies. Again, this is a matter to discuss with your commercial property insurance agent and Easy Rack material handling specialist.

Industrial Shelving

Almost any balanced container, product, or item can be stored on an industrial shelf. Just as long as the object has a flat bottom, it will safely balance on the supporting shelf. Round containers can also be stored on industrial shelves provided they have a sufficient diameter on both ends that will allow the cylinder to rest securely on its end.

Used industrial shelves are available in all sizes, designs, and weight capacities. Light weight shelves are often used in offices. Medium duty and heavy duty models are used in warehousing, shipping/receiving, and automotive service industries. Industrial shelves tend to pay for themselves in a relatively short amount of time. By converting unused space into storage areas, they reduce the likelihood that an organization will have to spend money on relocation or an expansion. They also make it much easier for workers to access products and supplies and expedite process flow safely and efficiently.

Different industrial shelf systems are used for different types of environments. 18 gauge and 20 gauge closed back industrial shelves will easily support 400-450 lbs in weight and are commonly used for storing boxes in stockrooms. Smaller, open-backed shelves and other used commercial shelving are utilized used by office managers to store important documents, tax work, and office supplies. Larger industrial shelves can hold up to 2,000 pounds in weight and are used for medium level storage of heavier crates and machine parts.

When choosing industrial shelving units, keep three things in mind:

1. The first thing to keep in mind is safety. When storing extremely heavy items and large containers, always invest in shelving whose weight capacity exceeds the total weight of items. Maxing out a brand new shelving system is never a good idea. A worker probably will not be aware of that a shelf already contains all it can handle and inadvertently add additional weight beyond safe limits.
   
2. The second thing to keep in mind is accessibility. If workers need to retrieve items from the front of the shelf only, closed back industrial shelving offer a sturdy, cabinet like design build for stability and security (the units can be shut and locked at night if necessary). If the materials that are stored are not that sensitive, or if workers need to access them from any angle at will, open ended systems work well for this task.
   
3. Keep perspective in mind as well. The dimensions of a shelf are not true indicators of the actual interior, usable storage space. To make certain every square cubic inch pays you back for your investment, talk to your material handling specialist about usable storage space, weight capacity, accessibility, and methods of ensuring the unit remains stable and secure in every conceivable scenario.

Steel Shelving

Used commercial steel shelves transform interior walls and vertical air space into organized, safe, efficient storage space. The improvement this consolidation brings to organizations facing an imminent move is often leads to the move being canceled and a large amount of money being saved. Additional savings come soon afterwards as employees find materials and supplies faster and finish their jobs in less time. Keeping accurate tabs on inventory becomes easier, which in turn averts over purchasing and often uncovers opportunities for tax breaks.

Easy rack steel shelves are manufactured from the highest commercial grade steel and can be ordered in either new or used condition. Steel shelves of this caliber will withstand extreme temperatures and sudden climatic changes in any region of the country. Commercial grade metal protectors further ensure that shelving systems withstand the elements any time the bay doors to warehouses are open and units become exposed to the outside air.

Industrial clients can obtain steel shelving systems in a number of different strengths, sizes, and design builds to accommodate any factory, warehouse, storage room, office, or even retail facility.

Open-backed shelving
As the name indicates, there an open-backed shelf is either open to the air or an adjacent wall. It is made from a steel frame that supports the individual shelves. The strength of an open-backed system is determined by the gauge of steel from which it is constructed. Larger, industrial strength units are used to store boxes and crates that require immediate access from the front, back, or sides of the shelf. Smaller shelving units are often used in to store bins containing office supplies or files of paperwork for inventory and tax purposes.

Closed-backed shelving
These steel shelves are closed on both sides and the back by steel plates. The entire unit can be closed shut and locked together for security purposes, or it can be opened and pushed against a wall. Closed back steel shelves units companies the stability of a design very similar to a cabinet but with much greater resistance to wear and tear and a much greater capacity to support heavy loads.

Both open-backed systems and closed-back systems are powder-coated with iron phosphate and painted with baked on enamel that prevents corrosion and buffers them against occasional collisions. These shelving units can also be used to build industrial shelving systems by bolting the bottom of one unit to the top of another with adjustable clips. This form of customization is known as “box shelving” and can create storage systems that can support up to 2,000 pounds in weight.

Long-Span & Wide-Span Shelving
These are the heaviest duty steel shelving systems found in the industrial world. They are designed extra long and can be connected together end-to-end to transform an entire factory or warehouse wall into storage space.

Wide span and long span shelves are made from 24-gauge steel and are designed to support up to 35,000 lbs. in weight. Surprisingly, though, they are not always used for heavy-duty storage. Many auto parts stores, tire an lube service centers, and hardware stores often use wide span units to store products, paperwork, reference materials, and product manuals behind the front counter.

Wide span shelves are supported by steel beams built around a two-piece design that increases the unit’s center of gravity and enables it to support a greater amount of weight without tipping or buckling from normal use or even the occasional accidental impact.

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.

Shelving Units

Shelving units offer you a more efficient and safe means of storing products and materials that streamlines your process flow with greater time efficiency. This immediately benefits any organization currently spending too much money on overtime. Companies that invest in shelving units often discover they have a lot more space than they originally thought, and reconsider future plans to expand or move to a new location. Eliminating the cost of an impending move is an excellent way to avoid losing oneʼs shirt in the middle of a recession, and having the proper material storage tools on hand to store equipment, products, and supplies greatly reduces the risk of injury when things are not properly placed and secured in a facility. All of these benefits spell ROI and recession proofing for the warehouse or factory in todayʼs economy.

Shelving systems by Easy Rack are available in all sizes and industrial strengths and can be used to store almost any item or container that has a flat bottom surface. A shelving unitʼs ability to balance a load is just as important is its ability to support a load. The majority of 18 gauge and 20 gauge steel systems can easily support 400-450 lbs in weight. The model you choose should be determined by the width and girth of the items you will be storing. The wider the crate or box, the wider the shelf needs to be to evenly balance and distribute the weight. The best place to install such a industrial shelving unit is right next to a warehouse or stockroom wall; preferably at the intersection of a corner so one side of the unit has additional support from the second wall. Some shelving units are so large they can be used to fill an entire wall and turn unused vertical cube space into storage space. Other very compact models can be offices to store paperwork and office supplies.

If you are storing very heavy equipment, parts, or heavy crates, you will need one or more used industrial strength shelving units. Heavy duty shelves of this nature are often used to organize and maintain inventories of large machine parts stored in crates and large metal containers containing chemicals or other supplies. As a general rule of principle, always overestimate the amount of weight capacity you will need for heavy duty storage. Steel shelving units can and will become unstable if their weight capacity is inadvertently maxed out. Simply adding a few items to the inventory without knowing how much weight is already pressing down on the system can cross the threshold of safety. The biggest danger here is not so much the shelves themselves buckling downward under the weight, but the system becoming top-heavy and prone to tip forward.

Another thing to consider is whether or not you will need an open backed shelving unit or a closed backed model. If the system is to be placed against a wall so you can retrieve items from the front, a long span shelves or closed back commercial shelving unit offers you maximum stability by resting part of its weight against the wall and minimizing the risk of tipping. If the items you are storing, however, are not that heavy and the risk of tipping is minimal, an open backed shelving unit offers you the convenience of retrieving materials from the front, back, or sides of the unit. Open backed or rivet shelves are common in assembly line environments where a team of people has to retrieve smaller parts from a series of storage compartments continually throughout the day.

Consider as well that shelving dimensions refer to the total LXWXH measurements of the steel components, not the actual interior storage space. Be sure to check with your material handling specialist first to see exactly how much cubic space you will need in your new shelving unit. It might be necessary to purchase the next size up, or arrange for a custom unit to be built, in order to fully meet your material storage and handling needs.

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.
