When a warehouse runs out of space, the warning signs show up fast. Aisles become cluttered. Pallets sit on the floor because there’s nowhere else to put them. Vertical space goes unused as inventory expands outward rather than upward. Picking slows down. Forklift traffic gets tighter and more dangerous. Before long, productivity drops and safety concerns rise.
The good news is that the right pallet racks and industrial shelving can completely transform how your facility operates. A well-designed storage system opens up floor space, improves organization, increases picking speed, and creates a safer working environment for your team. Instead of working around limitations, your warehouse starts working for you.

One of the first decisions warehouse managers face is whether to purchase new or used pallet racks. Both options offer clear advantages, and the right choice depends on your goals, timeline, and budget.
New pallet racks are ideal when you need the latest designs, specific configurations, or a uniform system across a large facility. They offer maximum flexibility in sizing and layout, making them a strong choice for new construction projects or highly customized warehouse designs. With new systems, you can align every component to your operational workflow from day one.
Used pallet racks, on the other hand, offer significant cost savings while still delivering durability and reliability. As one of the largest suppliers of used warehouse storage on the East Coast, Diversified Rack & Shelving maintains a substantial inventory of high-quality pre-owned rack systems. Used options are perfect for growing businesses that need to scale quickly without overspending. They also work well for warehouse expansions, temporary storage increases, or facilities with tight capital budgets.
Our team will help you compare options and determine which solution supports your long-term goals. In many cases, a combination of new and used warehouse storage delivers the best balance of performance and value.
Not all pallet racks are the same. The right system depends on inventory type, turnover rate, available square footage, and picking methods. We supply a wide range of racking systems designed to meet diverse operational demands.
No matter the system you choose, our pallet racks are built for strength, safety, and long-term performance.
Your warehouse should support growth, efficiency, and safety. The right pallet racks and industrial shelving can unlock unused space, improve organization, and streamline operations across your facility.

While pallet racks handle heavy, palletized inventory, industrial shelving plays a crucial role in organizing smaller items, parts, cartons, and supplies. A well-designed shelving system improves accessibility and keeps workspaces organized.
We provide a variety of industrial shelving solutions, including boltless shelving, rivet shelving, and heavy-duty metal shelving. These systems are versatile and adaptable, making them ideal for stockrooms, parts departments, e-commerce operations, and manufacturing facilities.
Industrial shelving lets you make full use of vertical space while keeping products visible and easy to reach. Adjustable shelves accommodate changing inventory needs, and durable steel construction supports demanding environments.
Whether you need a small stockroom setup or a full warehouse shelving installation, we offer both new and used warehouse storage options to meet your requirements.
Purchasing pallet racks and industrial shelving is only part of the process. Proper installation ensures safety, compliance, and optimal performance.

Our crew carefully disassembles systems, transports components, and reinstalls them at the new site. By working with Diversified Rack & Shelving from start to finish, you avoid costly mistakes and downtime.
An effective warehouse layout does more than fit racks into a space. It supports workflow, improves traffic patterns, and enhances overall efficiency.
We provide warehouse design support to help you plan a smarter storage layout. Our team evaluates your facility dimensions, inventory type, forklift access, and operational goals. From there, we recommend pallet racks and industrial shelving configurations that maximize storage capacity while maintaining safe aisle widths and efficient picking routes.
Strategic layout planning reduces wasted space and positions your warehouse for long-term growth. Whether you’re building a new facility or optimizing an existing one, our design expertise helps you make informed decisions.

Yes. When properly inspected and installed, used pallet racks provide reliable performance. We carefully assess our used inventory to ensure structural integrity before offering it to customers.
How long does installation typically take?
Installation timelines vary depending on project size and complexity. Smaller shelving systems may be completed quickly, while large pallet rack installations may take several days. We provide clear timelines during the quoting process.
How do I determine the correct size for pallet racks?
Sizing depends on pallet dimensions, load weight, ceiling height, and forklift reach. Our team evaluates your inventory and facility to recommend appropriate beam lengths, upright heights, and load capacities.
Can you help design a layout for a new warehouse?
Absolutely. We offer warehouse design support to help you select the right pallet racks and industrial shelving, optimizing workflow and storage density.
