How much does pallet racking cost per bay?

A standard pallet racking bay (2 beam levels, 2.7m high) typically costs between £150–£400 depending on the load capacity, brand, and whether it's new or used. Used racking can save 30-50% compared to new.

What affects the cost of pallet racking installation?

Key factors include: the type of racking system, number of bays, height requirements, load capacity needed, site access, floor condition, and whether any dismantling of existing racking is required.

Is used pallet racking worth buying?

Absolutely. Quality used pallet racking can save 30-50% compared to new, with no compromise on safety or performance. We fully inspect and refurbish all used racking before resale.

Do you charge for site surveys?

No. We provide free, no-obligation site surveys across the UK. Our experts will assess your space, discuss your requirements, and provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.

Can I get a quote without a site visit?

Yes. For straightforward requirements, we can provide indicative pricing based on your specifications. However, a site survey ensures the most accurate quote and identifies any potential issues.
