Used Pallet Racks Special

Yesterday, I released an E-mail campaign that highlights a few of our used items that are in exceptional condition. We have decided to run some 21' x 34" pallet rack uprights for $55.00, 96" pallet rack beams for $19.50, and 34" wire decks for $12.00. The condition on these items is amazing. The uprights are able to be cut to 101", 148", and 195" making them a very good buy for just about anyone who needs pallet racks. They can be seen on our Used Pallet Racks page. More to come from your friends at Clayton's Mercantile Supply/CMS Rack!

Used Pallet Racks vs. New Pallet Racks

Used pallet rack seems to be the way to go these days. Understandably, we are in a down economy, and everyone is watching their bottom line. The only thing I am concerned about, is that once the economy rights itself (which it will eventually), everyone is going to have a hodgepodge of pallet rack that may include many different styles or types. Some of these may or may not have components that are readily available in either new or used. In this case, a customer is going to end up losing some money as they will have pallet rack that is unable to be expanded, causing them to have to sell back the racking at a much lower rate and buy new, or at least try to find used in a style that is very common (generally this will be the teardrop style pallet racking). Why not make the investment in some new pallet rack now, which in the long run will be less expensive than used pallet rack. In this trying time, we all must look ahead to find the true value of our capital purchases, and whether they will be justified. In this case, I believe that they will be.
