Used pallet racking from a closing warehouse can offer significant savings — but only if it is correctly inspected, dismantled and reinstalled. Here is what you need to know.
The Appeal of Used Pallet Racking
Used racking from a closing warehouse or business liquidation can offer significant savings compared to new. For straightforward adjustable pallet racking installations where exact dimensions are flexible, used racking is a practical and cost-effective choice.
What to Check Before You Buy
Used racking must be inspected by a competent person before purchase. Check for bent or buckled uprights, damaged beams, missing safety clips, and corroded baseplates. Confirm the system uses standard specification components.
Rackstor UK Ltd can inspect used racking on your behalf before purchase.
Professional Dismantling Is Essential
Pallet racking must be dismantled in the correct sequence to avoid collapse. Components must be labelled, protected and loaded correctly to avoid damage in transit. Do not use a general removal company for racking dismantling.
Reinstallation to SEMA Standards
Used racking must be reinstalled to exactly the same standard as new racking — correct floor fixings, plumbed frames, engaged beam clips and current load notices. Rackstor UK Ltd installs used racking to full SEMA compliance with a completion certificate included. Call 0800 654 6955 for a survey and quote.
