Can I Lease Pallet Rack and Other Storage Equipment?

The answer is... Yes you can! There are several options out there to help you rack out your warehouse space while still managing your cash flow.
Here are a few options:
* Strike a deal directly with your pallet rack supplier. If you know that you will only use the rack for a short period of time, it may be possible to come up with an agreement that works for everyone.
** 3rd Party leasing- AK Material Handling offers several options through 3rd party organizations that handle equipment leases. Most end up with you owning the pallet rack.
*** Landlord Financing: In some cases your landlord will be willing and able to incorporate your storage equipment needs into the building lease.

In summary, don’t let your project die due to cash issues. Let us know your situation so we can find the best financing option for you.

AK Donates Used Pallet Racks to Non Profit Org. PCs For People.

Recently we received a call from Casey Sorenson who was in search of some used pallet racks for

their new facility in Saint Paul, MN. Casey works for PCs for People a non profit organization that gives refurbished computers to low income families located in the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota. Not only does PC's for People offer low income families computers but they also offer training at their facility to other individuals looking to begin a career of their own in fixing computers. They take donated computers 8 years old or newer, clean them up, and install them with windows XP. At times they have had waiting lists of up to 1000 people long in need of their computers. As Casey was explaining PC's for People he also shared that they are a non profit organization and had a very little budget to buy the shelving he was searching for. Casey also asked if a donation was an option and we told him that if he was flexible we would love to help. So we looked around our inventory and found a used rack systems that was perfect for their needs. It would total 13 upright frames and 50 cross beams offering them close to 100' of pallet rack shelving with 2 to 3 levels per section. The shelving will be used to store computer monitors and also to hold their misc parts.

10 Things to Consider Before You Buy Industrial Pallet Racks

1. All cities and states have different building codes when it comes to warehouse pallet rack and storage equipment. So we recommend to get in touch with your city office and learn about your local codes and regulations about warehouse storage and pallet racking before you start looking.

2. When creating a warehouse layout always think about future expansion.

3. Be Prepared, Know the following: your max forklift lift height? The overall dimensions of your pallets, your max pallet weight? ceiling clearance and lead time.

4. Many manufacturer warranties such as ESP Excel Storage Products do not cover resold or transferred products: ex:"All Products manufactured by Excel Storage Products that are still the property of the original Buyer"

5. Not all teardrop pallet racking is compatible.

6. Here is a list of all the RMI Rack Manufactures Institute Certified Pallet Rack manufactures:

Advanced Storage Products, Bulldog Rack, Elite Storage Solutions, Engineered Products, Equipment Boni, Excel Storage Products, Frazier Industrial, Hannibal Industries, Interlake Mecalux Inc, Necochea, Nedcon USA Inc., Ridg-U-Rak Inc, Spacerak - Division of Heartland Steel Products, Speedrack Products Group, Steel King Industries, Twinlode Corporation, Unarco Material Handling, and Wireway Husky Corporation.

7. Pallet Rack Capacities have many variables such as: beam spacing and frame column size so make sure to know the manufacture specs before rating your rack capacity.

8. Take caution at auctions: not all warehouse racking comes with original safety clips and replacements may not be available. Research the brand and style of racking so that you know you can find replacement parts if needed.

9. Many foreign made pallet rack products are sold in the used market.

10. If purchasing USED know that rack manufacturers Paltier and Prest (webb style) are no longer manufacturing pallet racking.
