Second Hand Racks

Second-hand storage racks have become an increasingly common sight in Singapore’s warehouses. While not a new concept, their adoption has surged, particularly as steel prices continue to rise. Faced with escalating costs, many businesses and logistics operators have turned to pre-owned racking solutions as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new systems. The advantages of opting for second-hand racks are substantial. Not only do they offer significant cost savings, but they also provide a sustainable option by extending the lifespan of existing infrastructure. Moreover, with proper inspection and maintenance, used racks can perform just as reliably as new ones. Of course, there are some considerations to keep in mind—such as varying wear and tear or limited customization options—but in most cases, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. As long as buyers source from reputable suppliers and ensure structural integrity, second-hand racks present a smart, economical solution for Singapore’s evolving warehousing needs.

Doing Proper Checks

The necessary checks are essential when dealing with second hand racks. These are especially important if you are dealing with equipment that may weigh over 2 tons. 

Things to take note of when dealing with second hand racks.

1. Rust is the death of all racks.

With Rust, you want to avoid them especially once the rust has corroded crucial parts of the racks. These are absolute no-go when dealing with warehouse racks. 

2. Misalignment jointing corners.

After long usage, it is common to notice misalignment in the joints. These are only seen in racks that have been used to store equipment above its weight limit. These will give hints on what the previous owner did to the racks. 

3. Plywood damages.

The most common damage on old racks. These plywood have seen better days with water, oil and friction damage. However, these can be easily fixed by engaging a rack company to replace the plywood layers. These repairs can easily give your racks another 5-10 years of shelf life.
