Used Pallet Rack

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.

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.

Quick-check guide for used pallet racks from A&A Surplus

Used or New

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.

For the full comparison, read our used vs. new pallet racking guide.

I have been buying shelving and racks from here for about 3 months now, Jim is my main point of contact, him and this company have been amazing from the beginning, from figuring out exactly what I needed, giving me the measurements to make sure they fit in my warehouse, ordering and delivery, they really know how to take care of their customers. Would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of warehouse supplies.

What a great experience! From speaking with the salesman Dan Caine to the end delivery. It was top notch all the way. The product was used but it sure didn't look it and the price couldn't be beat. The packaging and delivery really struck me. It was perfectly packed with quick delivery with an easy unload. I wouldn't use anyone else in the future!!!

I've worked with A&A on several racking projects for my plant, and they've been great. Best pricing and lead times that I've been able to find, and great service- Jim Ambrose is always pleasant, accommodating, and helpful.

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.
