Used pallet racking is previously owned racking that’s been removed from service, inspected, and where required, refurbished before resale. It’s the same structural systems as new racking, selective, drive-in, cantilever, double deep, just at a lower cost and often with faster availability than ordering new stock.
It suits businesses setting up a new warehouse on a budget, expanding existing storage, or needing a system quickly without a long lead time. Every system still needs to meet the same safety standards as new racking, which is why inspection and condition assessment matter more here than with new stock.
Buying used racking only makes sense if it’s been properly assessed, every frame, beam and connector needs to be sound before it goes back into service. Absolute Storage Systems has been supplying and installing racking, new and used, since 1991.
We discuss your budget, timeframe, and storage requirements to confirm used racking is the right fit.
We match available used racking against your space, pallet sizes and load requirements.
Every system is inspected for damage and structural soundness before it’s confirmed for your order.
Professionally installed in line with AS4084:2023, ready to load from day one.
We provide racking audits, maintenance and reconfiguration as your needs evolve.
Not every business needs, or can justify, new racking. Used pallet racking gives you a properly inspected, compliant storage system at a fraction of the cost, without the wait time that comes with ordering new stock.
If budget or lead time is a factor in your next racking project, used pallet racking is worth considering, provided it’s properly inspected first. Our team can assess your space and match you with the right used system, contact us to get started.
Used pallet racking is existing stock that has been removed from service, inspected and confirmed as fit for purpose. Refurbished racking has had damaged components replaced, or has been repaired and repainted, before being put back into stock for sale.
Yes, in most cases. Our used stock includes systems from Schaefer, Colby, Dexion and Stow, so extending an existing run is usually a matter of matching the brand, the frame profile and the beam connector type. Mixing components between manufacturers is not something we do, because load ratings are only valid for matched components.” If we don’t have current stock of the brand you are wanting, we can usually source from across out network of resellers.
No it doesn’t need to be re-certified prior to installation, however it should be certified once it is installed. We will ensure that the racking is structurally sound and free of damage that may impact its ability to meet the Australian Standard and Worksafe. Once installed, we will then certify that the racking installation meets the Australian Standard and is free from damage that may impact its ability to do so.
Used racking comes out of existing stock rather than a manufacturing queue, so it is usually available much sooner than new racking, which is ordered to specification. Timing depends on what is in stock, the size of the system and site access.” Usually if in stock, used racking can be supplied within a matter of days.
Yes. We dismantle and remove existing racking systems, which is often part of a warehouse relocation or a reconfiguration.” We will inspect the racking and based on brand, condition and demand, offer a price that will include us dismantling and transporting back to site.
As per the Australian Standard (AS4084:2023), pallet racking audits are now mandatory and must be completed every 12 months.
