Used industrial racking for all warehouse storage areas

used industrial racking

As the festive season approaches we are as busy as Santa’s elves, with lots of used industrial racking and hand loaded shelving leaving us every day for businesses who have been good in all parts of the UK.

We have an extensive range of sizes in all leading pallet racking systems, particularly Link 51, Dexion Speedlock and Apex. If you know exactly what you need, call us now and we can confirm availability and place an order or send you a quote. If you aren’t sure about your requirements, our team are always on hand to offer as much advice or assistance as you need. We can help you with the layout of your warehouse racking, or identify the racking manufacturer that you currently have if you are looking to add racking bays or beam levels.

To complete your used racking installation, you might need column guards or rack end barriers to protect your uprights from expensive forklift damage. We have these in stock and can usually deliver them in a few days. Timber and wire mesh decking, pallet support bars, fixing bolts and additional beam locks can all be sent out quickly to any UK mainland address.

If you are looking for heavy duty shelving for a picking area or to store non-palletised goods, our longspan shelving may well be what you need. This strong and versatile system comes in a wide range of sizes, all of which are currently in stock and ready for quick dispatch. We can help you to plan a layout that will make the most of the space that you have available for hand loaded storage. If this includes using the height available in your warehouse then you might need warehouse safety steps. Our range of steps will suit almost any environment with a large number of sizes plus narrow, wide, folding and heavy duty options.

Whatever your requirements are, we can help you to get what you need at a great price. Before the Christmas break we have part loads scheduled for delivery to Hull, Dumfries, Croydon, Newport and Oldham, so if you are close to these areas, get in touch now and we will try to fit you in.

Call us on 0800 612 3210 or send us your details an enquiry form and we will reply to you quickly.

Do you need Dexion racking?

Dexion Racking

Dexion racking is a term often used to describe many different pallet racking systems, when in fact Dexion is just one of at least twenty pallet racking manufacturers currently available in the UK. Almost all of these warehouse racking systems are unique and not compatible with any other, so if you are looking to add to the racking that you already have, it is important that you get the right type.

Industrial racking made by popular brands such as Apex, Redirack, Link 51 and PSS will usually have the name stamped on the upright frames, but if your racking doesn’t, there are other ways to identify the pallet racking you have. Our Identify My Racking page shows many of the leading pallet racking systems, the shapes of the beam connectors and holes in the frames should help you pick out the one you need to match your existing racking. If not, if you can send us a clear, close up photo of your racking (similar to those on the identify my racking page) we will be able to tell you which manufacturer your racking is made by.

Once we know what make of warehouse racking you need, we can start to look at the sizes and quantities required. For the upright frames, we need to know the height and depth. We can supply frames up to at least ten metres high, usually in 500mm increments, so let us know the exact height you need and we will supply suitable frames. Standard depths are 900mm or 1100mm, but other sizes are always available on request.

For the horizontal beams, the most common way to describe their size is the clear entry measurement, which is the space between the upright frames are in place. We always have a wide range of beam sizes in stock for most leading manufacturers, so let us know if you are adding levels to existing bays and so need exactly the same size as your existing beams. Beams also have a range of loading capacities, so we will ask you for the maximum weight that you would put on a pair of beams and then we can supply racking that will take at least this amount.

We can deliver pallet racking orders to any UK mainland address and lead time is usually between five and ten working days. In the next couple of weeks we have part loads scheduled to go to Preston, Harrogate, Barnsley, Kent and Cheltenham, so if you are close to these areas, get in touch now for a great delivered price. You can call us on 0800 612 3210 or send us an enquiry form and we will reply to you quickly.

Completing your used pallet racking installation

used pallet racking

If you know the sizes and quantities of the used pallet racking that you are looking for, you may think that you are ready to order. But there are a number of other important components to consider which will help to make sure that your warehouse racking is safe, secure and fit for purpose.

If your pallets are old and likely to sag, or you just want some re-assurance that they will safely take the weight of whatever you are storing, then pallet support bars are a simple and effective way to help keep your goods secure. We have support bars in stock at the standard depths of 900mm and 1100mm but we can supply for other frame depths on request.

Timber or wire mesh decking can also be used to support your pallets, but these options are also useful to provide a strong shelf for non-palletised items. They are easy to install and stay firmly in place without the risk sagging which may come with chipboard decking. Again, we have standard depths (900mm and 1100mm) in stock but we can supply decking to fit almost any pallet racking configuration.

Column guards are a relatively cheap way to avoid dangerous and expensive damage to your racking uprights from forklift collisions. We prefer steel column guards which bolt to the floor (fixing bolts included) in front of the racking to create a “crumple zone” and reduce the risk of damage. We also have rack end barriers available in sizes to cover standard single and back to back bays of industrial racking.

Small parts, such as fixing bolts, levelling plates (shims) and beam locks are available for all leading pallet racking manufacturers (Dexion, Link 51, Apex, PSS, Redirack and many more). These can be dispatched quickly and delivered by courier.

We deliver to any UK mainland address, so whether you are in Manchester, Glasgow, Kent or Cardiff, we can supply you with the complete pallet racking system you need, quickly and at a great price. Call us now on 0800 612 3210, or send us an enquiry form and one of the team will get back to you quickly.
