Extensive Range of Warehouse Pallet Racking For Sale
Used Warehouse and Industrial Pallet Racking For Sale
Warehouse racking and industrial racking do the same job: they hold palletised stock off the floor so a site can store more in the same footprint. We supply used adjustable pallet racking for warehouses, distribution units, factories and builders’ yards, in the frame depths, heights and bay widths listed above.
Most sites start with standard adjustable racking and add drive-in, cantilever or wide span racking where the stock calls for it. Our range includes Dexion, Stow and Link 51 systems, all of it used. If you only need to add to an existing layout, see our used beams and uprights.
Warehouse racking or industrial racking?
The two terms overlap. Warehouse racking is the usual name for pallet racking in storage and distribution buildings, while industrial racking is often used for factories, workshops and sites that handle heavier or bulkier goods. The system is the same in both cases: upright frames joined by pairs of beams to form bays. What changes is the loading, so choose frames and beams to suit your heaviest pallets, whatever the racking is called.
Used racking we supply
- Adjustable pallet racking: the standard system, with beams that can be moved to suit different pallet heights.
- Drive-in racking: forklifts drive into the lanes, which suits large quantities of the same product.
- Cantilever racking: arms project from a central upright to hold long loads such as timber, pipe and sheet material.
- Wide span racking: long beams with no uprights between them, for bulky items that are loaded by hand.
- Push back and live storage racking: pallets are stored several deep on inclined rails or roller tracks, which saves aisle space.

What to Check Before Buying Used Racking
Used racking is a practical way to cut storage costs, as long as you know exactly what you are buying. Before you order, check the following.
- Compatibility: match the make and profile of any racking you already have. Frames and beams from different systems are often not interchangeable.
- Size: choose frame depth and beam length to suit your pallets, with room for your forklifts to work safely in the aisles.
- Load: work out your heaviest pallet and how many sit on each beam level, then check that against the rated capacity of the beams and frames. Capacity depends on the components and how the bay is set up, so ask for it to be confirmed for the exact racking you are buying.
- Condition: look for bent or twisted uprights and beams, damaged footplates and missing beam locks.
- Accessories: check the beams have safety locks fitted, and think about guards for the ends of rows and the base of uprights if forklifts work close to the racking.
Planning your layout
Measure the space before you choose a system. Note the clear height to the roof, lighting and any sprinkler system, the floor area, and the aisle width your forklifts need to place pallets safely. Then list your pallets. Common sizes include 1200mm by 1000mm (the UK standard) and 1200mm by 800mm (the Euro pallet), and the height of the load, including any overhang, sets the distance between beam levels. Give us the measurements and the pallet details and we will quote against suitable stock from our used racking.
Heavier and bulkier loads
Industrial sites and distribution centres often store heavier or bulkier goods, such as construction materials, industrial components, healthcare products and pre-packaged retail stock. For these loads, capacity matters more than anything else on the list above, so have the beam and frame ratings confirmed for the specific racking before you buy.
How buying from us works
- Tell us the sizes, heights and quantities you need.
- We send photographs of the exact racking you are considering.

- Payment is due on completion, not upfront, and we accept card payments.
Using racking safely
Static steel pallet racking is designed to the FEM 10.2.02 code, and the HSE’s guidance on warehousing and storage (HSG76) covers how racking should be used and looked after. In practice that means loading each bay within its rated capacity, protecting uprights where forklifts work close by, and having the racking checked regularly by trained staff and inspected periodically by a technically competent person. We can also help with racking installation, relocation and removal.
