Choosing The Right Pallet Rack

Dewitt, NY January 19, 2010: As part of its continued focus on providing young material

handling professionals with useful and relevant information that will help them improve job performance, the January issue of MHEDA Edge features an article titled Choosing The Right Pallet Rack For Your Customer, by Donald Heemstra. In his article, Heemstra, who is director of marketing for Steel King Industries (Stevens Point, WI), discusses which applications are practical for used pallet rack and which require new rack. Heemstra points out that, especially in this challenging economy, many end-users are tempted to save a little money by purchasing used pallet rack. While in many instances this is a perfectly viable option, thats not always the case. Used rack often has limitations that can cause trouble for a customer down the line. As a distributor, its your obligation to closely analyze your customers application and figure out which type of rack will work for them. So when does it make sense to buy old versus new pallet rack? In general, used storage rack can make sense for your customer when its in decent condition, its relatively new and the application is located in a non-seismic situation. Basically, used rack is best suited for an application that just needs uprights and beams, not a specialized system. Seismic map changes and stricter requirements make it more important than ever for you to be looking out for your customers, regardless of their geographic location. Curious to find out more? In his article, Heemstra goes into great depth while explaining how to make the right decision. Find out exactly what he has to say by checking out MHEDA Edge (http://www.mhedaedge.org), the online resource for young professionals in the forklift, storage and handling, conveyor and general material handling industries.
