What are you buying????
Many companies and organizations across North America are searching for ways to cut capitol costs in their facilities. One way they have been doing so is by purchasing used pallet rack to increase storage space or even to replace rack that has been damaged. As many assume that they are saving money by purchasing used pallet rack, the long term costs could be astronomical.Â
When new pallet rack is purchased and installed for the first time it is typically engineered for the particular seismic zone and load ratings that the facility requires for their storage needs. With used pallet rack, engineered history of the particular pallet rack is not usually known. The used rack could be a liability rather than an asset.Â
 What you don’t see (inside the beams or frames) could make the used rack a liability. If buying used pallet rack, care and due diligence must be taken to make a wise purchase.
