Available for Rent: Pallet Rack Moving Systems

Monday, April 7th, 2008

The PR Skate, LLC is making its LD (lite duty) Pallet Rack Moving System available for rent.   As production costs continue to rise, the PR Skate realizes that the cost of purchasing the system out right may not make sense for the occasional rack move.

 The PR Skate believes there is value in the rental program both for the PR Skate and its rental customers.  The cost of use is dramatically reduced through the rental program, with a weekly rental price of $600.00 or $1800.00 for the month.  The cost of the rental is a true value when considering the labor saved in the remodel project.

Moving an Aisle of Pallet Rack…

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

PalletRackSkate.com has just released a short video of the latest pallet rack being moved with their skates.  The link to veiw the video is found on our Video and Picture page. (Video & Pictures)

By watching the video, one can see the benefits of using such a system and value the time it does save in moving or relocating pallet rack.  In the video, 11 continuous bays of pallet rack are being moved about 16′.  This rack was unachored, moved, and reanchored within 4-1/2 hours with product still on the pallet rack.  Eleven bays in 4-1/2 hours and minimal product removed. Amazing!!!

Pallet Rack Moving System

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

The PR Skate has designed and test a pallet rack accessory that will change the way pallet rack is relocated. Warehouses, distribution centers, big box retailers, and the material handling industry could save thousands of dollars in any remodel that pertains to pallet rack, conveyors, mezzanines, and/or other storage rack systems. Since storage space is an asset, and if one can create more space without increasing square footage, it makes sense to use a system that could potentially save 1/2 to 2/3rds of the time and labor cost.
