New Vs Used Pallet Racking
A question we get asked many times is whether new pallet racking is better than used.
The answer isn’t a simple yes or no. What is better for one company, might not be the best option for another.
We only use high quality used pallet racking, meaning you won’t have anything unsafe, majorly unsightly, or inappropriate for your storage needs.
Pros of New Pallet Racking:
- Can have it ‘made to measure’
- Manufacturer’s warranty (usually 12 months)
- More aesthetically pleasing
- Longer lasting than used racking
- Can cost less in the long run with repairs and wear and tear (depending on the site)
Cons of New Pallet Racking:
- Traditionally has been more expensive
- Usually has longer lead times
Pros of Used Pallet Racking:
- Usually has shorter lead times
- Traditionally is cheaper
- Useful for companies with an impending premises move
- Can come nearly new
Cons of Used Pallet Racking:
- Comes with no warranty from the manufacturer
- May not match with your existing racking
- Shorter life span than new
- May cost more in the long run with repairs
- It can come with some aesthetic wear and tear
