Used Pallet Racking From Building Buyouts
Used pallet rack comes into our Plantsville, Connecticut yard when we buy out warehouses, plants and distribution centers. When the frames are straight and the beams are sound, it holds the same load as new for less money.
Stock changes daily, so call 1-800-826-5326 for this week’s inventory. We’ll quote used and new side by side, and we can mix new beams with used uprights to hit your budget and your sizes.
What Comes In
Used Rack in the Yard
Used Teardrop Uprights and Beams

Used Structural Rack
Bolted structural steel for heavy loads and high-traffic aisles. Styles we see include Frazier, Steel King and Sturdi-Bilt.
Used Wire Decking
Waterfall, reverse waterfall and lay-in decks sized to your beam depth.
Need a specific size, a large matched order or a firm date? Our pallet rack page lists the new teardrop uprights and beams we keep in stock.
Compare
Teardrop vs. Structural Pallet Rack
Both come in used. Teardrop is cheaper and easier to reconfigure. Structural costs more but takes more abuse. Most buyers pick based on load, forklift traffic and how often levels change.
| Teardrop (Roll-Formed) | Structural | |
|---|---|---|
| Steel | Cold-formed steel | Hot-rolled channel |
| Beam connection | Boltless clips with safety locks | Bolted to the upright |
| Adjusting levels | Fast, no tools | Slower, unbolt and move |
| Impact resistance | Good, add column protectors | Higher, built for heavy forklift traffic |
| Best for | Most warehouses and distribution | Heavy loads, freezers, high-traffic or outdoor use |
Quality Check
What We Check on Used Pallet Rack
Age doesn’t weaken steel rack. Damage does. These are the checks we run before used frames and beams leave the yard.
-
Columns and Bracing
We look for bends, dents and twisted bracing, especially in the bottom few feet where forklifts hit.
-
Base Plates
Bent or torn base plates mean the column took a hit, so we check every one.
-
Beam Sag and Welds
We look for beams that bow in the middle and for cracked welds where the beam meets the connector.
-
Connectors and Locks
Connector tabs should be straight and complete, with working safety locks.

When to Buy Used Pallet Rack
Used Makes Sense When
You need standard sizes, your budget is tight, or you’re adding bays to rack that matches what’s in the yard.
New Makes Sense When
You need a specific size, a large matched order, known ratings on every piece or a firm delivery date.
Mixing Works Too
New beams on used uprights, or used rack to extend an existing run. Send a photo of your upright and we’ll check the fit.
Ratings Still Apply
Used rack carries the same capacity as new only within the maker’s ratings. Tell us your pallet weights and we’ll match the beams.

FAQ
Used Pallet Rack Questions
Is used pallet rack as strong as new?
Yes, when the frames are straight and the beams, welds and connectors aren’t damaged, and you stay within the original ratings. Cosmetic wear doesn’t change capacity. Damage does, so we check used rack before it ships.
What used pallet rack do you have in stock?
Used uprights, beams and wire decking come in as we buy out buildings, so stock changes daily. Call 1-800-826-5326 with your sizes and we’ll tell you what’s in the yard and quote new as a comparison.
Can I add used rack to the rack I already have?
Often, yes, if the brand and punch pattern match. Send us a photo of your upright face and a beam end with the sizes, and we’ll check the fit before you order.
Do you have used structural pallet rack?
Yes, when it comes in. Structural styles we see include Frazier, Steel King and Sturdi-Bilt. Call for what’s in the yard this week.
Do you deliver and install used pallet rack?
Yes. We deliver across the Northeast and install in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and New Jersey, including anchoring and setting beam levels.
Do you buy used pallet rack?
Yes. If you’re closing, moving or clearing out a building, we buy used racking and other material handling equipment and handle the removal. See our We Purchase Used Equipment page.
