How to sell industrial racking

News

Attempting to sell industrial racking that you have may seem like an onerous and complicated job, but we can help you and give you a great price too. If you have moved into a warehouse which is full of pallet racking that you don’t need, or you are altering the way you store your stock and need to replace the racking you have, we want to hear from you.

We are currently in the market to buy medium to large parcels of quality used warehouse racking. Leading manufacturers such as Link 51, Dexion, Apex, Stow and PSS are always of interest to us but we will consider all makes of pallet racking if the quantities and condition are right.

To help us give you the best price for your racking, we would need to know the manufacturer, the quantities and sizes of upright frames (the height, depth and duty) and horizontal beams (clear entry length and load capacity) and whereabouts in the UK the racking is located. If there is anything stamped on the racking, that would also be useful to know. We need to see the condition of your pallet racking and so we will ask you to send us some clear, close up photos. This will also help us to confirm the manufacturer if you aren’t sure.

If you need us to dismantle and stack the racking for transportation, we can arrange this. Our highly experienced pallet racking engineers cover the whole of the UK mainland and work quickly and efficiently to clear your warehouse. We can also transport the racking to our warehouse, or you can book your own haulage if you prefer.

Pallet racking accessories such as timber or wire mesh decking, pallet support bars, column guards and anti-collapse mesh can also be included in the sale. Again, let us know the quantities and send us some photos to help us give you the best price.

warehouse racking protection

Warehouse racking protection

News

Warehouse racking protection is a vital part of any industrial storage system. Damage to your pallet racking can be both dangerous and costly, but with some simple measures in place you can prevent many of these accidents from happening.

Column guards are a relatively cheap way to prevent forklift damage to your pallet racking uprights. Ours are bolted to the floor in front of each leg, creating a “crumple zone” in front of the racking. We have large quantities in stock and and they are ready for dispatch in just 2-3 days.

Rack end barriers perform a similar job at the ends of your runs of industrial racking and are available in sizes to suit standard single and back to back runs. All our guards and barriers are supplied with fixing bolts to secure them to a concrete floor.

If any of your warehouse racking backs on to pedestrian areas then anti-collapse mesh should be in place to prevent items falling from the racking and causing injuries. We can supply mesh which can be fixed to pallet racking from all leading manufacturers (Dexion, Link 51, Redirack, Apex, PSS, Polypal, Mecalux etc), usually in 7-10 working days.

Whatever you warehouse racking protection requirements are we can help you, no matter where you are in the UK. Our main warehouse is between Leeds and Hull but we have deliveries going to all parts of the country every day. Call us now on 0800 612 3210 to discuss your options, or send us an enquiry form and we will reply to you quickly.
