If you are looking for an answer to the question “is new pallet racking better than used?’ we’re here to help. With pros and cons to both types of racking, here’s what you should consider before making your decision.

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to invest in new pallet racking or second hand pallet racking. If you are contemplating which type to purchase, here’s what you should take into account first.

Used pallet racking 

If you are searching for standard racking at a better price, consider buying second hand pallet racking. Whether you are just starting your business or trying to save some pennies, used pallet racking is a smart idea to help save money.

However, there are some things to consider before choosing used racking. It is important to remember that this type of racking has been used before, therefore it will not have the same lifespan as new and you may need to reinvest in the future.

Something else to think about are the potential limits when you need to make changes or add to your pallet racking system at a later date. You will need to find exact accessories and parts that fit your style of racking to enhance the system, should you wish to do so.

Our final point of consideration is to remember that you may not know how the used racking system was utilised before purchase. Pallet racking damage can be easily concealed, making it hard to identify problems as a result of being overloaded or misused.

At Advanced Handling & Storage, rest assured that we clean and quality check all used racking we get in stock to ensure we only ever sell on the best equipment to our clients.

New pallet racking 

If you are looking for a fresh start for your warehouse, look no further than racking. Whether large or small, many businesses choose to renovate their warehouse after many years, which often requires the addition of new pallet racking.

When it comes to choosing new over second hand racking, generally we see this choice made by large companies when there are more legal standards and regulations to adhere to. 

One of the biggest advantages of buying new racking is the manufacturer’s warranty and knowledge of the exact capacities for the specific system you require. Our clients can then label their system with the correct capacities to help inform their operating employees.

When a new pallet racking system is installed, it will automatically give your space a fresher, cleaner and more professional look. Employees are likely to take more care and pride in warehouse operations and customers will have a positive image of your business.
