Used Teardrop Pallet Racks
Teardrop pallet racks are the industrial standard for most pallet racking applications. They feature a boltless design that makes it easier to assemble and adjust them. The boltless design also offers the additional benefit of keeping the platform more stable and preventing buckling in the middle. Easy Racks' used teardrop pallet racks are braced with heavy channel steel and supported by tensile steel columns to provide you with the safest and most reliable platform possible.
Industrial & Heavy Duty Used Pallet Racks
Heavy duty used pallet rack have metal shelving designed for high traffic and fork truck access. “Industrial” is a synonym for “heavy duty” and often refers to pallet racking with weight capacities of up to 48,000 pounds. They are constructed from structural steel and designed to withstand occasional fork truck collisions.
Used Pallet Rack Decking
Used wire decking is the most popular type of decking installed in used pallet racks. Easy Rack supplies all three major forms of wire decking: waterfall, reverse waterfall, and lay-in decking. Wire decks offer the advantage of allowing dust and debris to fall through to the floor. Also, if the sprinkler system is triggered, the water will run through the wire rather than collecting around components. Fire codes are beginning to require this so that fire suppression systems can more effectively put out fire.
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.
Used Pallet Rack Systems
Easy Rack material handling specialists will help you custom build your system and coordinate the installation of your racks. Two of our most popular system types are warehouse pallet systems and structural pallet systems.
Used Warehouse Pallet Racking
Used warehouse pallet racks are designed to function as organizational and storage starting points for operations that anticipate growth or expansion. These systems are designed for adaptation and modification as process flow increases or changes. Custom systems can be built from used pallet rack decking and structural supports that maximize your existing vertical cube and floor space, provide you with the best storage density within safety parameters, and facilitate either hand or fork truck access.
Used Structural Pallet Rack
Used Structural Pallet Racks are extra sturdy, more stable, and more impact resistant than standard rolled pallet rack systems. Structural upright systems are available in a variety of well-known, standard styles that include, but are not limited Inca, Sturdibilt, Steel King, Frazier, Arco, and Speedrack. Some pallet racking systems are designed for use exclusively indoors, while others can be used outdoors in construction or shipping areas.
If you are unsure which type of rack, support, style, or decking to order with your used system, call a material handling specialist with the details of your storage volume and inventory cycle and have him or her run the necessary calculations to locate the optimal system for your needs.
Pallet Racks For Sale
If you are in the material handling business you will likely be looking for pallet racks to organize your warehouse. You can find used pallet racks at significantly reduced prices from most material handling equipment distributors. However if shiny new equipment is important to you then you may want to get new pallet racks for your warehouse. Pricing on this type of industrial equipment can vary based on steel prices. That is why it is usually cheaper to buy used racks instead of new ones. If you buy used you may be able to get them re powder coated. Industrial equipment of this type comes in several varieties.
Tear Drop Pallet Racks is the most widely used type of used today. This design allows you to slide the beams in to place with out the need of fasteners. These are also called boltless pallet racks. This type of Industrial rack can be used for many applications. Most are commercial in nature like warehouses, industrial plants, schools and storage units. However you can also use this type of rack in your garage or a larger storage shed. Farmers use them in barns to stack a variety of items. One of the benefits of industrial pallet racks used or new is that they have a very high load capacity. Generally a rack of this nature can handle 35 to 48,000 pounds of weight depending on the size of the unit. This makes it prefect for stacking heavy equipment or things like tractor tires, car parts, large vats of liquids and such. You can also double up on a set of racks and use them for storing carpet or longer items.Industrial pallet racks were mainly designed for actually storing pallets or skids of huge amounts of material, but as you can see there are many uses for this type of industrial equipment.
Cantilever Racks are designed to store longer or odd shaped material. Things like pipes or rolls of carpet. Although you can use two regular pallet racks installed two deep will be able to handle some of the same material a Cantilever rack is designed with this purpose in mind. This type of industrial rack uses 12' or 16' tower in rows of 3 with several sets of steel arms attached. The most common uses for this type of equipment are for storing pipe or carpet rolls.
Warehouse Pallet Racks are generally used for bulk storage in large or small warehouses. Warehouses tend to store large quantities of material which pallet racks are perfectly equipped to handle. You can deck this type industrial rack with particle board, plywood or wire decking. In warehouses a used pallet rack is probably a good idea anyway especially if you use fork lifts and heavy equipment which is likely to damage the paint and ding the beams. This way you won't have to worry so much about messing up the esthetics of new racks. A used rack is a great way to save money while still getting the full benefit of storage.
Generally used racks are just as durable as their new counterparts. The main difference between a new or used pallet racks is that the used rack is likely scratched up and has some dings as well as possibly slight surface rust depending on the environment that they came from. I would not recommend purchasing any used racks that are excessively rusty or have significant structural damage. However most used racks are in perfectly good shape to start a new career in any warehouse.
