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.

  1. Apex racking systems are typically designed for the storage of various medium weight loads. This is due to the modular construction process and the result is a great variety of dimensions and accessories which allow apex racking systems to lend themselves for usage in various different situations.
