There is no need to worry if you're considering buying Long Span Shelving systems in used or new condition. We'll provide you with a few tips on how to evaluate the trade-offs and determine which racking solution is best for you.
Invest your time and money in manufacturers that have strong relationships with Rack Manufacturer's Institute (RMI) and Materials Handling Industry of America (MHIA) associations, such as Steel King.
Seller:
If you were considering purchasing pallet racking directly from the manufacturer, an authorized distributor, a reseller, or going through a broker, what would you consider? You can purchase pallet racking directly from the manufacturer or from a certified reseller that stocks the inventory. Do not buy used pallet racking from a so-called dealer who sells nothing but his own inventory.
There are many types of rack systems, such as pallet racks, wire decks, cantilever racks, and Carton Flow Racks.
Cost: Pallet racking storage systems can be purchased at a significant discount, typically 80 percent off their original list prices. An 80% discount may appear like a good deal, but be sure to do your homework. There may be hidden costs that may ultimately make new racking the best option.
Condition/Appearance: Look beyond scratches and minor abrasions unless the installation is in a high-profile area where it needs to look impressive for customer visits. Check all components to see if they are in good working order.
Delivery Cost: The delivery charge is an area where hidden charges can bite you. Be sure the quote includes the delivery charge.
Custom Layout and Design: Typically, this service is free when purchasing new racking, however, when purchasing used equipment, make sure to ask for a free custom design.
Installation: Obtain everything in writing in the beginning
Maintenance & Repair: There is very little maintenance required for most racking systems.
Warranty: You will not have a manufacturer's warranty on used Long Span Racking storage systems unless otherwise specified. Doing your part to inspect the pallet rack storage system carefully will minimize any anxieties you may have.
Industrial Racking - Safety Barriers
When warehouses and industrial plants conduct their regular operations, forklifts are used frequently to move goods and materials from one place to another. This movement puts both your employees and expensive and possibly critical equipment at risk for damage. As the owner of a warehouse, you have installed various industrial storage components, such as cantilever racks, steel storage components, and vertical shelving in order to safely store and organize materials and products. Adding safety barriers, as well as the additional protection they provide, makes sense because it's only logical.
This type of robust barrier can be used in warehouses, offices, and parking lots to safeguard people and equipment. It is generally made of bolted components to allow easy replacement of the damaged components after an impact. Some of these heavy-duty barrier systems are available for self-installation and do not require specialized installation costs. This allows your installation costs to be drastically reduced. In compliance with the requirements of health and safety regulations, they are standard in high visibility orange.
Safety barriers come in several styles and designs, depending on the manufacturer.
Some of the available types are listed below, while they may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer:
Heavy-duty, bolted double-channel barricades, 750 mm high
With pedestrian handrail, 1100 mm tall, bolted construction, twin channel steel barrier
A galvanized Armco steel barrier with a height of 750 mm, bolted construction
Steel barrier with galvanized Armco steel 750 mm and twin Armco safety rails
The heavy-duty barrier measures 750 mm wide and has a flush front face and tapered ends for safety
Heavy tubular barrier with rounded corners and a height of 500 mm, fully welded
A low-level medium-duty barrier 450 mm high with bolted construction, similar in design to the 750 mm high, twin channel heavy barrier, but with just one lighter weight channel rail.
It is possible to meet all your safety needs with an Heavy Duty Long Span Shelving safety barrier.
