Selling Pallet Raking

Selling Pallet Racking? What We Need to Know


People often ask if we buy secondhand pallet racking. Our response is, “How do you think we have secondhand stock to sell!?” We purchase our pallet racking from companies that are upgrading, moving or closing down. We buy pallet racking, long-span shelving, column guards, safety barriers… if we sell it, we will most likely buy it! If you are looking at selling your pallet racking, read on for what we need to know, alternatively, you can contact our sales team on 0800 612 3210 for help and advice.

What we need to know

We make the process of selling your pallet racking easy, there are a few things that we need to know first!

Firstly, email us at sales@racking-ltd.co.uk with photos, sizes/dimensions, quantities and details of any accessories you have.

  • We need photos so that we can assess the condition of the materials for sale.
  • Height and depth of the frame is required. Please advise the number of frames that are available.
  • Specify the number of beams along with their length (clear entry measurement required). If known, provide the UDL; if not, please provide the box size (depth of the beam face).

Next, we will review your email and the specifics of your system. 

Finally, if we can make you an offer, we will email you the offer amount based on your request.  If you need us to arrange dismantling, stacking, and transport we can incorporate these costs into our offer.

We constantly seek new stock to add to our warehouse and are always interested in purchasing more! No matter the system or manufacturer, we will consider buying the racking.

We strive to provide you with a quick service and a competitive valuation. If you are obtaining multiple quotes, let us know, and we will do our best to beat the price!

Why Do You Need Longspan Shelving?


What is Longspan Shelving?

Longspan Shelving is the perfect solution for the storage of small to medium-sized non-palletised products, making it ideal for organising and accessing hand-picked items. It works in the same way as pallet racking and looks very similar with frames and beams, the only significant difference is the chipboard shelving that sits between the beams.

Our AR QuickSpan shelving is extremely versatile and comes in a variety of sizes. We offer frame heights from 2000mm to 5000mm with a wide range of bays and shelf depths. Beams range from 950mm to 2700mm and can accommodate heavy loading capacities.

Our longspan shelving can be customised to meet your business needs by choosing from a selection of shelving options. You can choose from chipboard, mesh, or steel decking individually or a combination to meet your specific business requirements.

This shelving is versatile and comes with a variety of accessories to suit any businesses storage needs: such as dividers, garment hanging rails and much more.

What to Store in Longspan Shelving?

Longspan shelving provides an ideal storage solution for items that pallet racking cannot accommodate. Irregularly shaped, bulky, or fragile items may be challenging to transport using forklifts. Long pipes, batteries, tyres, and office supplies are just a few examples of items that you can store on longspan shelving.

What Are the Advantages of Longspan Shelving?

In addition to the benefits that have already been outlined, our AR QuickSpan shelving provides several advantages, including:

  • Quick and easy to assemble and to replace/add components
  • Versatility, providing immediate access to all unit loads
  • Efficient utilisation of available space
  • Customised designs that cater to your specific storage needs
  • Strong and robust
  • High load capacities
  • Easy adjustment of beam levels, every 50mm
  • Fast delivery lead times (3-5 working days)
new longspan racking

New longspan racking – hand loaded warehouse shelving


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.
