Now is the very best time for organizations to invest in used pallet rack systems. Because distribution in many industries has recently slowed down considerably due to economic downturns, many companies have had to store more products and raw materials than they did in the past.

For those with limited space who lack the budget to move or expand their horizontal floor space, the used pallet rack offers an excellent solution to the lack of storage area. A rack can be built to any desired height, converting unused vertical space into something useable, efficient, and safe.

When pallet racks are built with adjustable levels, a used pallet rack becomes an even more effective storage tool. Not only can it be used to stack large quantities of material in a relatively small horizontal floor area, but it can also be used as an organizing system, where each level is set to a different height so that it can be used to store specific types of items in consolidated areas.

This allows a warehouse crew to use the pallet rack for more than simple pallet storage. Levels can be set to larger heights to accommodate crates, barrels, and even machine parts. We sell a great many used pallet racks to chemical plants in states like Pennsylvania and Texas who often store materials that cannot safely be palletized.

It also allows for safer storage and retrieval procedures, because the extra 2-3 inches of space that can be created on each level provides more maneuvering room for safe handling of sensitive and/or hazardous materials.

In spite of their flexibility, used pallet racks are some of the strongest and most durable storage solutions that a company can invest in. When built correctly by a material handling specialist, they can provide years of safe, reliable service and ensure a return on investment followed by improved process flow, time management, and ultimately increased profits.

The most common design for adjustable used pallet rack is the teardrop style, boltless construction. This build offers two very important advantages over other styles and structures. First, it is much easier and therefore more cost effective to install. The beams can be slid into place without having to be bolted in.

This configuration allows for any type of wire or steel decking to be installed over the beams, providing a firm, stable surface contiguous throughout. Teardrop pallet rack decking can support up to 40,000 pounds of weight per level, and features an amazing resiliency that prevents even wire decking from buckling in the middle.

Used pallet racks can also be build without decks for certain types of materials, and they can be designed for indoor use or outdoor use. Pallet racking experts in port cities like Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, New Orleans, LA, Miami, FL and San Jose, CA have recently reported some very good reports on the improvement of racking systems brought to their dock warehouses and storage yards.

Major distribution centers in Chicago, IL, Wichita, KS, and Dallas, TX have also reported that adjustable pallet racks help them get through a very tough retail season this year and help them retain revenue by allowing them to better manage and control a backlog in inventory.
