When it comes to fitting out a new warehouse, things can get expensive quickly, so managers and business owners may often look to save money by buying second hand pallet racking. However, as with everything in the workplace, safety always needs to be the highest priority, and it shouldn’t be compromised because of cost.
So it raises the question, is second hand pallet racking safe? And are the cost savings worth it when it comes to safety?
The short answer is yes, second hand pallet racking is perfectly safe. It’s just as safe as new pallet racking.
Any second hand pallet racking that we sell is of good quality and condition. Although the pallet racking has been used by another business, we’re not going to buy low quality racking or racking that’s not in good condition. It’s just not in our best interest as a business. We want to be able to sell the second hand pallet racking, and if it’s not good quality, we won’t be able to sell it!
Of course, for any pallet racking, new or second hand, it’s still important to have yearly pallet racking inspections to make sure it remains safe and any damage is repaired.
So Why Buy New Pallet Racking?
The main advantage of buying new pallet racking is that you’re able to get exactly what you want or need for your business. Warehouse storage goes beyond simple selective pallet racking. There are a lot of different ways to store pallets with different densities and selectivity. Often it’s best to consider different options and find out what works best for the storage needs of a particular business.
Simply put, buying new pallet racking opens up a business to a better selection of pallet racking. It’s about choice.
However, if your businesses needs are simple or you’re able to find the specific type of racking that your business needs, buying second hand can be a good choice. It saves a business money and is still safe to use.
