Request a QuoteThe two questions every buyer asks: what condition is the steel in, and can you get it to me in time? Here are straight answers — no grading jargon, no hidden lead times.
Light scuffing only, original manufacturer paint, straight uprights and beams. Typically ex-distribution centres closed within the last few years. Looks new on the warehouse floor.
Around 40–50% below new
Normal warehouse wear — surface marks, some paint loss, occasional minor dents well within SEMA tolerance. Structurally sound and load-tested. Our most popular grade.
Around 50–60% below new
Serviceable steel with visible cosmetic wear. Full load capacity retained, but not the prettiest. Ideal for yards, back-of-house storage and short-term overflow.
Up to 65% below new
Damaged steel is repaired to SEMA standards or scrapped. Every bay that leaves our yard has been inspected by a SEIRS-qualified inspector and comes with load notices on installation.
Small runs (up to 20 bays)
Usually ex-stock — delivered within 3–5 working days.
Medium projects (20–100 bays)
Typically 5–10 working days including installation.
Full warehouse fit-outs (100+ bays)
2–4 weeks, phased so you can keep operating while we install.

SOLD
SOLDWhen we dismantle warehouses we often have surplus used racking that has to move quickly. Clearance lots are inspected to SEMA guidance like the rest of our stock, but they are priced lower for a fast sale — typically mixed-quantity runs, end-of-line beam lengths or part-bays that suit extensions to existing systems.

Freshly delivered and installed: blue uprights, orange beams, and mesh decking — a full bank of quality-inspected used pallet racking now in service for another happy customer in Newport, Wales.
A full pallet racking dismantle and collection in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey — beams, uprights and frames safely de-stacked, banded to pallets and loaded onto our curtain-sider for grading and resale as quality-inspected used pallet racking.
Brands are not interchangeable — beams from one manufacturer rarely fit another's uprights safely. Use this guide to identify what you have and what to buy.
| Brand | How to identify | Mixing with other brands | Used availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dexion (Speedlock / P90) | Usually grey or orange; beam labels and upright slot pattern are distinctive | Only with matching Dexion profiles | Very high — the UK's most common used racking |
| Link 51 (XL / Rack 90) | Blue uprights, orange beams common; Link 51 connector design | Only with matching Link 51 ranges | High |
| Redirack | Teardrop-slot uprights | Some teardrop-compatible ranges — must be checked | High |
| Mecalux | Spanish manufacturer; Mecalux-stamped beams | Only with matching Mecalux profiles | Medium — including longspan |
| Esmena | Spanish manufacturer; tall frames common in large DCs | Only with matching Esmena profiles | Medium — e.g. 5.5m × 1100mm frames |
| BITO | German manufacturer; BITO-labelled components | Only with matching BITO ranges | Lower — sold in complete lots |
Never mix brands without written confirmation from a SEIRS-qualified inspector. Send a photo of a beam label or upright to 0800 246 1536 / office@umstoragesystems.co.uk and we'll identify it for free.
