Our Used Rack Process

Tell Us What You Need (or Have)

Contact us with details about the racking you want to buy or sell — type, size, quantity, and condition. Photos help. We provide a preliminary response quickly based on this information.

On-Site Assessment

For purchases from our inventory, we match your specifications against current stock and provide a detailed list with photos and condition grades. For racks we are buying, we visit your Indianapolis-area facility and provide a firm written offer.

Agreement & Scheduling

Once you confirm your purchase or accept our offer, we schedule delivery/installation or disassembly/removal at a time that works with your operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if used pallet racking is safe to buy?

All used racking in our inventory is inspected and graded against ANSI/RMI MH16.1 standards before we offer it for sale. We classify each component's condition, provide photographic documentation, and clearly disclose any cosmetic versus structural issues. We do not sell components that fail our structural integrity checks.

How much can I save buying used pallet racking in Indianapolis?

Quality used selective racking typically sells for 40–60% less than equivalent new components. For a mid-sized Indianapolis warehouse buildout, that can mean saving $20,000–$60,000 or more on materials alone — with no compromise on safety when components are properly inspected and professionally installed.

Do you buy racking from businesses that are closing or relocating in Indianapolis?

Yes. We actively purchase complete racking systems and individual components throughout the Indianapolis metro area. We visit your facility, assess the system, and provide a firm written offer on the spot. We handle all disassembly, removal, and transportation — leaving your facility clean.

What types of used racking do you carry?

Our inventory typically includes selective uprights and beams from all major manufacturers, drive-in rack components, cantilever rack, wire mesh decking, and pallet flow lane components. Inventory changes frequently — contact us with your specific requirements and we will check current stock.

Signs Used Rack Is the Right Move (or You Should Sell)

Standing up a new warehouse in LEAP district Lebanon / Whitestown on a tight capex budget — used can save 40–60%
Need to fill gaps in an existing system with matching components and the manufacturer has discontinued the line
Closing or consolidating an Anderson, Muncie, Kokomo, or Marion facility and need rack removed before lease-end
Spinning up a pop-up DC for seasonal peak — FedEx peak, ag-seed season, holiday e-commerce — where short-term cost matters
Equipping a secondary staging or returns zone where new-grade rack is overkill
Automotive Tier 1 program winding down — legacy rack becomes monetizable surplus
Retrofitting an older Indianapolis west-side or Speedway-adjacent building where component geometry must match existing system
Acquired a Hendricks, Johnson, or Boone County building with legacy rack you will not use

Used vs New — Decision by Component Type

Used rack is a huge savings lever, but not every component ages the same. Here is how our team calls it component by component for Indy operations.

Component	Best For	Key Notes
Selective uprights & beams	FedEx vendor, 3PL, cross-dock, general DC	Used is safe and common when graded — save 40–60% vs new
Drive-in rack	Cold storage, beverage, same-SKU	Best used as full system from one source — piecemeal is risky
Pallet flow lanes	FIFO pharma (Lilly, Roche), dated food	Flow wheels wear — inspect carefully, often replace lanes even with used frames
Cantilever	Anderson / Kokomo / Columbus steel, pipe, structural	Used cantilever is durable — structural steel holds up, big savings for long-life capital
Wire mesh decking	All rack types	Used is fine if not rusted or bent — cheap upgrade for existing systems
Row spacers & column guards	Retrofit safety upgrades	Used is reliable and cost-effective for brownfield safety projects
Push-back rack	Multi-SKU LIFO	Complex mechanism — buy used only with full inspection and preferably same manufacturer
Returnable dunnage / line-side racks	Automotive JIT Tier 1	OEM-specific — often require new or OEM-certified restored for program approval

Where Used Rack Fits by Indianapolis Industry

Some Indy industries are perfect for used rack — others require new. Here is how we advise per submarket.

FedEx hub & vendors (IND airport, Plainfield)

Used selective for peak-flex capacity and seasonal surge — great fit for Q4 ramp-ups

E-commerce / 3PL (Amazon, Walmart, Target DCs)

Used pick-module framework paired with new conveyor and new pick-module decking

Automotive JIT (Cummins, Subaru SIA, Stellantis)

OEM programs usually require new — but we actively buy surplus at program end-of-life

Pharma & biotech (Eli Lilly, Roche, Fishers)

Limited used — GMP validation typically requires new or certified-restored with full documentation

Ag & seed (Beck's Hybrid, Corteva, Hancock County)

Used selective is excellent for seasonal surge storage and big-bag staging

Legacy industrial (Anderson, Muncie, Kokomo, Elwood / Marion)

Used cantilever and heavy-beam selective — durable, cost-effective, right for long-life capital
