Steel Warehouse Shelving, Long Span Shelf Units, Warehouse Pallet Storage Racking and Widespan Shelving at Discount Prices.

Steel Warehouse Shelving can transform areas along interior walls and portions of your facility’s vertical cube from wasted space to highly organized, reliable storage space. Both Industrial steel warehouse shelves and long-span/ wide-span units can be interconnected to create steel shelving systems specific to the dimensions of your individual facility.

Easy Rack offers you two major advantages over competing vendors in this arena. We supply both used and new steel shelves, and we will both install and assemble a custom steel shelving system in any facility, anywhere in the United States.

Two of our most popular and highly effective shelving options are as follows:

Industrial Metal Warehouse Shelving:
Steel warehouse shelves can be bolted from bottom to top with adjustable clips that create shelving units and shelving systems capable of supporting up to 2,000 pounds of material. This is often called “box shelving” and allows you to customize (or have Easy Rack customize for you) your industrial metal steel shelving storage system specific to your floor space and warehouse interior ceiling height.

All Easy Rack steel used shelves for warehousing are coated with two protective substances to ensure corrosion free longevity and maximized impact resistance. Warehouse units are treated with iron phosphate and painted with baked on enamel. These layers of protection see to it that your steel shelves last for years and maintain optimal strength and support capabilities in spite of normal wear and tear.

Warehouse industrial shelves can be ordered in either open-backed versions or close-back versions. Open-back models offer more rapid access to materials, whereas close-backed models offer more stability, support, and security for sensitive supplies.

Long-Span & Wide-Span Steel Warehouse Shelving (Rivet Rack Shelves)
These long span steel shelving units are build extra long and are designed to support up to 35,000 pounds of weight. Like warehouse shelves, they can be connected together using self-locking connector clips that make the assembly of your shelving system easy and time-efficient.

Widespan steel shelving units are built from 24-gauge steel shelving that is finished in baked enamel to preserve structural integrity and unit longevity. The beams feature high strength steel construction that utilizes a two-piece design that increases the unit’s center of gravity, enables it to hold enormous amounts of weight, and helps make it more impact resistant to collision.

Looking for Commercial Warehouse Lights, Wall Packs, High Bay Lighting or Parking Lot Light Fixtures?

Easy Rack is a major supplier of all types of commercial and industrial lighting fixtures such as wall pack security lighting, industrial high bay fixtures, commercial low bay fixtures, high performance parking lot lighting kits and attractive decorative pole lighting packages.

Wall pack lighting fixtures are designed for security lighting around the perimeter of the buildings, lighting loading docks, storage areas or above entrance doors. Wall pack lights are very efficient lighting sources as most are considered HID or high intensity discharge. This means they use a magnetic or electronic ballast and gas filled light bulb as opposed to a standard incandescent filament style light bulb. The result is considerable more lumen output and lamp life of up to 20,000 hours for some types. High pressure sodium wall packs are the most efficient light source but, produces a orange/white color which is not always aesthetically pleasing. Metal halide wall packs, on the other hand, produce a white light which may be more attractive and appropriate for your security lighting needs.

Easy Rack offers low bay and high bay commercial lighting fixtures, which are intended to provide higher light levels in large warehouses or other commercial buildings. The main difference between low bay and high bay lighting, other than the mounting height, is the light distribution pattern or photometric performance. If you have questions, an Easy Rack consultant can assist you.

We carry both acyclic high bay fixtures and metal high bay fixtures. Acrylic style high bay lights are more decorative in design and provide both up and down lighting when used in relatively dust free buildings. These lights work well in retail establishments or showrooms with a light colored ceiling. Metal high bays are more commercial in design and force all the light in a downward pattern. Since illuminating the ceiling is not desired in most commercial warehouses lighting applications, the metal shroud prevents dust, dirt and oil residue from effecting the fixture performance.

When it comes to parking lot lighting, the commercial lighting designers can assist with all your needs. Easy Rack has taken the mystery out of parking lot lighting for the end user by creating high performance lighting packages that include all the key components. These parking lot commercial lighting solutions include some of the most common pole configurations with one, two, three and four light fixtures per standard. Each unique site lighting package is engineered using common parking lot lighting pole heights such as 15', 20', 25', 30' and 35' poles. And finally, with distribution patterns like Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V, Easy Rack can fine tune your lighting design to perfection. All we need to get started is you to send a drawing of your parking lot to [email protected] and a consultant will design a solution!

Easy Rack has been selling industrial light fixtures, commercial lighting fixtures, parking lot lighting kits and providing all types of material handling supplies and equipment for years. Easy Rack ships nationwide to any major city to our clients. Whether you live in New York City, San Francisco California, Chicago Illinois, Dallas Texas, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, or even Tucson Arizona, Easy Rack can ship your lighting fixture package straight to the job.

It is always better to use multiple light fixtures of moderate power instead of a few powerful outdoor floodlights to reduce glare and provide more even illumination.

Make sure the electric meter box is locked or difficult to get to so that the bad guys can't turn off the all your lighting.

Security lighting should not be installed where they can create blinding glare or blind spots to oncoming drivers or pedestrians.

Commercial lighting systems offer a number of clear and tangible enhancements to any commercial or industrial property.

Industrial companies can eliminate the costs of contracted design and installation services by building their own commercial lighting systems. This is not as difficult as it may appear. Since commercial lighting systems serve primarily a practical purpose, operations managers can itemize the major activities that occur in and around their facilities and literally match lighting to worker activity through Easy Rack’s simple, efficient, online inventory and order processing.

The first priority of most industrial clients is heightened security. Commercial lighting systems offer a number of clear and tangible enhancements to any company’s protection of its buildings and employees. The most obvious benefit a better commercial lighting system brings is improved visibility through elimination of all shadows in parking lots and between buildings. Crime simply cannot occur as easily if there are no dark places for intruders to hide. With Easy Rack commercial lighting systems, a company can customize flood lighting by installing half of their floodlights on timers that turn lights on at sundown and off at sunrise. They can save costs by installing the remainder of their floodlights with motion sensors, providing additional lighting only when the system detects and intruder and gives a sudden, bright surprise to unauthorized personnel. Security cameras and guards can see more clearly around the edges of buildings fitted with wall packs and other external lights.

Easy Rack has a wide variety of fixtures custom-engineered to fit on the sides and roofs of many different building types. Adding wall packs to one’s commercial lighting system is a very cost effective way to create a field of light around the entire building and make any attempt at intrusion immediately visible to cameras and guards. Adding glare free parking lot lights to increase visibility between vehicles, and sign lighting at the front entrance adds further security by eliminating any dark areas unauthorized personnel can use to gain access to the property.

Easy Rack’s online inventory contains all necessary fixtures and bulbs to self-design an energy saving, OSHA compliant commercial lighting system from the ground up. Contact us online or by phone at 713-522-1133 with any specific questions or custom design requirements.
