Is it OK to buy used pallet racking in Leeds?

There’s one reason you opt for used pallet racking in Leeds over new, custom built warehouse storage: cost. Used industrial racking systems are cheaper than their brand new counterparts. But unless you know the racking you’re buying is quality, the costs can mount up. Here’s how to address that:

Buy quality

In theory, used pallet racking has already proved itself – but if it’s to be worth your investment you need to know that what you’re buying will stay strong and safe. That means checking for the following:

• Bent beams and diagonals
• Broken planks and stringers
• Missing support blocks
• Botched beam welds
• Rust

Buy safe

When a pallet racking system in Leeds collapses, it’s not just the products that stored on them that feel the effect. From the fabric of the building and order fulfilment to reputational damage and even loss of life, the results can be serious and wide ranging.

Those issues affect new as well as used pallet racking, but it’s a particular issue with used industrial storage, where you haven’t been part of the system design from the outset.
