warehouse racking beams

Which warehouse racking beams should I use?

News

There are a huge range of warehouse racking beams available and finding the appropriate materials for your specific requirements isn’t always straightforward. Our team are always happy to offer you as much help and advice as you need, but here is some guidance which might help you find what you need.

Firstly, there are at least 20 different manufacturers of pallet racking and almost none of their components are compatible with each other. So, if you don’t know whether you have Dexion, Link 51, Apex, Redirack or any other make, the first place to look would be our “identify my racking” page, where you can find photos of many leading brands of industrial racking. If this doesn’t help, send us some clear close up photos of your racking and we can usually tell you what you have.

The measurement we use to describe pallet racking beams is the clear entry- the space between the upright frames when beams are in place.

pallet racking beams, clear entry

2700mm is the most common pallet racking beam size, as this can be used to store UK pallets (2 pallets per level with 900mm deep frames) and euro pallets (3 pallets per level with 1100mm deep frames). There are many other standard sizes which are close to 2700mm and which may work for your warehouse storage, depending on the pallets you are using. 2625mm, 2650mm, 2667mm, 2670mm, 2743mm, 2750mm and 2800mm are all regularly seen on the used market.

2250mm racking beams are generally used to store 2 UK pallets on 1100mm deep frames and 2225mm, 2286mm, 2300mm beams are also often available. We also usually have single pallet beams (1350mm, 1372mm or 1425mm) and longer beams which can be anything from 2900mm to 4000mm in length.

The load capacity of pallet racking beams can vary from a few hundred kilos to 3 tonnes (and sometimes beyond) per pair. We will always supply used warehouse racking beams whose capacity is at least the maximum requested load capacity.

Call us now on 0800 612 3210 to discuss your options or send us an enquiry form and we will get back to you quickly. We deliver warehouse storage equipment to any UK mainland address, so whether you are in York, Grimsby, Glasgow or Windsor we can supply you with the pallet racking you need.

used industrial storage

Used industrial storage equipment available now

News

Our warehouses are always full of quality used industrial storage equipment and while we will always have the leading manufacturers, such as Dexion, Link 51, Apex and Redirack in stock, specific beam sizes can come and go. Therefore, if you need used pallet racking beams in a particular system and size, it is advisable to give us a call on 0800 612 3210 to check availability.

All frame heights are usually in stock because we tend to buy frames at 8, 9 or 10 metres high which can then be cut to exact height depending on customer requests. We can also splice smaller frames together to create taller frames when required. This actually strengthens the frame and usually doesn’t affect where beam levels can be located. We keep bracing for standard 900mm and 1100mm frame depths in stock, but we can often make bracing for bespoke sizes on request. Again, if you need a specific manufacturer it is worth getting in touch to check current stock.

We have an extensive catalogue of warehouse racking accessories, such as pallet support bars, column guards, rack end barriers and wire mesh decking. These are in stock and can be ordered through the website for delivery in as little as 2-3 working days.

We can deliver you used pallet racking to any UK mainland address. Our delivery prices are based on the number of pallet spaces your order would take on an artic. For small order it’s worth getting in touch with us as we can usually get a better price from our haulage supplier. So if you need a single pallet racking frame in Huddersfield, a few Dexion racking beams in Worcester or a single bay of longspan shelving in Brighton we will do our best to give you a great delivered price for your used industrial storage equipment.

Call us now or send an enquiry form and we will reply to you quickly.

How much warehouse storage equipment do I need?

News

If you’ve never bought warehouse storage equipment before, or you have a new storage area and don’t know how to calculate how much pallet racking you can fit in it, we can help you find the right solution for your business needs.

If you can send us some or all of the following information, we can propose a layout that will suit your space and then provide you with a low priced quote for materials, delivery and installation (if required):

  • What size are your pallets- length, depth, maximum height and maximum weight
  • What size is your storage area- length, width and height
  • What is the turning circle (required aisle width) and maximum height of your forklift/reach truck
  • How many pallets are you looking to store
  • Are there any obstacles that we need to work around- doorways, ramps, emergency exits, pillars, hanging lighting etc

You might already have warehouse racking that you would like to make use of, let us know what make it is (Dexion, Apex, Link 51, Redirack etc) and we will do our best to supply compatible racking. If you don’t know the manufacturer of your industrial racking, send us a photo and we will let you know.

We can also supply any additional materials that you might need such as timber or wire mesh decking, column guards and rack end barriers, pallet support bars and even warehouse steps.

We can deliver and install at any UK mainland address. We have recently completed warehouse racking jobs in Keighley, Swindon, Preston and Dundee, so wherever you are in the UK we can help you.

Call us now on 0800 612 3210 or send us as many details as you have on our enquiry form, we will reply to you quickly and help you to get the warehouse storage equipment that you need.

sell used dexion racking

You can sell used Dexion racking to us.

News

If you are looking to sell used Dexion racking, or any other type of warehouse shelving, then we would love to hear from you. Maybe you are moving into a new warehouse that has pallet racking that you don’t need or perhaps the industrial shelving you have is no longer suitable for your stock, whatever the reason is we would love to hear from you. We are always on the look out for medium to large parcels of quality used pallet racking or heavy duty shelving and will pay the best prices for it.

Popular manufacturers of storage equipment, such as Dexion, Apex, Link 51 and PSS are always of interest to us, but we will listen to offers for other makes of racking if the quantities and condition are right. If you aren’t sure what type of racking you have, our identify my racking page might help.

We will always ask for photos of your warehouse racking so that we can see the condition that it is in. Please make sure that these are clear, close up and show any different types of racking or shelving that you have. We can also use these to confirm the type of racking you have if you need confirmation.

A quick inventory of the materials you have for sale would also be really useful. If you can tell us how many upright frames and horizontal beams you have, and their sizes, that will help us to give you the best price we can for the industrial racking for sale. Any other items associated with the pallet racking, such as timber or wire mesh decking, pallet support bars and column guards may also be of interest to us, so please include those when you give us a list of what you have. 

If you need us to dismantle your racking, so that it can be stacked and banded correctly for transportation, we have teams that cover the whole of the UK. We can also arrange transport, or you can deliver to our warehouse if preferred. These costs would be deducted from the price we would offer you for your racking.

We have recently cleared a warehouse of pallet racking in Leeds, bought 500 bays of warehouse racking from a company in Oldham and taken delivery of some used longspan shelving from a site in Birmingham, so wherever you are in the UK, if you are looking to sell used Dexion racking or any other warehouse racking,  we are waiting to hear from you.

Call us now on 0800 612 3210 or send us as many details as you have on the enquiry form. We will respond to you quickly and work to whatever timescale you have.

new longspan racking

New longspan racking – hand loaded warehouse shelving

News

Our new longspan racking is one of the most popular products we sell, due to the price, quality and versatility of this hand loaded shelving system. The range of sizes of the upright frames and horizontal beams means that we can find a solution for your heavy duty shelving requirements, whether you need a couple of bays for a small storage area or a full high density picking area for your warehouse.

The dimensions of this shelving system can be tailored to suit the sizes of your stock and to fit in a specific space. The height of each shelving level can be adjusted in 50mm increments, meaning that no space should be wasted. This also gives the flexibility to put the first shelf at a higher level, allowing for pallet storage on the floor underneath.

The longspan shelving that we have in stock is made by AR Systems, but if you need a specific make to match your existing warehouse storage system, please let us know and we can provide you with a quote. Dexion, Link 51, Apex and PSS all have their own hand loaded shelving systems and unfortunately none of them are compatible with each other.

Our new longspan racking system is in stock now and can be delivered to any UK mainland address quickly. We have deliveries going to Doncaster, Kent, Halifax and Dundee in the next couple of week, so if you are close to these areas give us a call now and we will do our best to fit you in.
