Used Pallet Racks

SuperShelves.com can have used pallet racks custom-built from used uprights, beams, and wire decking. The savings potential on custom-built used pallet racking can be as high as 40%--a front end investment that can significantly buffer inventory management costs against the problematics of the recession. Pre-constructed used pallet racks can also be obtained from SuperShelves.com through any number of our nationwide distribution channels. These racking systems come in all sizes and types and have been designed for specific uses inside warehouses, rail yards, shipping yards, and outside on construction sites.

Used pallet racks are in high demand in spite of the current economy. The range of storage options they offer is virtually limitless. Retail distribution centers have recently invested heavily in racking, anticipating surplus merchandise expected to result from a low return on Christmas sales this year. Shipping companies are also investing heavily in used pallet racks in cities like Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. Since supply and demand is unstable, warehousing operations in port cities have to streamline the efficiency of their inventory control.
A used pallet rack is probably the safest and most recession proof investment any warehousing or distribution company can make at this time. With the very real threat of inventory backing up on floor space, and with the exorbitant cost of moving making relocation impractical, it is much better to make the most of existing space both within a warehouse and even on the surrounding property. Converting not only floor space, but also vertical space within the building, improves organization of inventory, access to materials, and process flow.

When it comes to interior storage solutions, the size of a used pallet rack is really only limited to the size of the facility itself. In places like Phoenix, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, and Houston, we have frequently installed rack storage systems over 20’ in height and over 60’ in depth. Within these basic dimensions we can further customize a storage system. Such factors as the type of merchandise, how much it weighs, the size of pallets and/or other containers it is stored in, and the frequency of access to the storage system all represent key factors in determining the height of each level and the type of decking to be used. Appropriate uprights have to be chosen based upon their ability to provide overall support for the total storage mass, and specifics such as beam fabrication and fastening have to be decided based on the application the pallet rack is used for. Our most popular used pallet rack design is the teardrop design featuring boltless construction. Easy to assemble and amazingly resilient, it can support tremendous amounts of weight without buckling in the middle.

Other used pallet rack designs can be targeted toward specific storage applications in a wide range of industries. Factories will very often use pallet racks to store raw materials. Furniture manufacturers often have pallet racks in one facility where they store their raw materials, and cantilever racks in another facility where they temporarily store products ready to be shipped. Retail distributors depend on them to maintain control of inventory in times where ever line item on the invoice counts.

Cantilever Lumber Racks & Used Cantilever Furniture Racks

What business benefits the most from cantilever lumber racks?
The furniture manufacturing business ranks chief on the list of industries that can obtain superior and highly favorable outcomes from an investment in cantilever lumber racks. Companies in cities like Thomasville, NC, Danbury, CT, Tupelo, MS, Asheboro, NC, and Springfield, Massachusetts have factories and warehouses all over the country that require specialized racks for the storage of both raw lumber and finished products. Piling boards and couches on pallet racks is impractical, and can result in both hazardous conditions for workers and likely damage to raw materials and finished goods.

What specific benefits do cantilever lumber racks offer?

Cantilever lumber racks, on the other hand, let you store any number of timber cuts to be organized and stored by weight, wood type, dimensions, and intended manufacturing purpose. You can also have cantilever racking systems built to store asymmetrical items like chairs, couches, and tables. This makes space management and product retrieval much easier.

Storing furniture and lumber on cantilever racks also helps with climate control. In many humid climates, it is necessary to ventilate a warehouse with fans or air conditioning to keep materials dry. Elevating lumber and furniture on cantilever racks places them closer to overhead air currents and also allows you to cover them with tarpaulins.

Can you build cantilever racks for hand retrieval of lumber?
Yes. This is often done for small businesses that have very small warehouses and low ceilings. Cantilever storage racks can be designed as either single-sided racking or double-sided racking systems that will allow workers to walk up to the rack and pull lumber off by hand.
Be sure, however, before having us build you such a storage system that it meets with local safety requirements in your area.

What other types of industries can benefit from cantilever lumber racks?
Construction companies use cantilever racks to store lumber used in building projects. Many of our construction clients are small, family owned businesses who build custom homes, churches, and small office parks and need specialized storage for a variety of wood products. The size of the cantilever rack and the spacing between the arms has to be determined by calculated the total load capacities of the arms and uprights factored against the length and weight of lumber stored on the racks. Gravity has in impact on the equation because materials hang over either side of the racking. Making a mistake on the math here can weaken a cantilever system by as much as 50%. SMP does not require you to trouble yourself will all these calculations. Simply give Bruce Garrett details of your materials and project needs and our team will configure your cantilever rack to the exact parameters of the type , size, and weight of lumber products you intend to store.
