Quality Used Pallet Racking — The Smart Choice for UK Warehouses
Used pallet racking is the cost-effective, sustainable, and immediately available solution for businesses across the United Kingdom that need reliable warehouse storage without the premium price tag. Whether you're setting up a new warehouse, expanding an existing facility, or replacing damaged components, second-hand racking from UM Storage Systems delivers the performance you need at a price that makes commercial sense.
Every piece of used pallet racking we supply has been professionally inspected, graded for condition, and cleared for safe use in accordance with SEMA guidelines. We stock a comprehensive range of systems — from standard adjustable pallet racking and heavy-duty frames to specialist narrow aisle, drive-in, cantilever, and long-span shelving.
As both buyers and sellers of second-hand racking, we maintain one of the UK's largest and most varied stockholdings. If we don't have exactly what you need on hand, our nationwide sourcing network means we can locate it fast. And if you have surplus racking to offload, we provide fair valuations, professional dismantling, and prompt collection from anywhere in Britain.

Safety & Compliance Standards
Safety is non-negotiable when it comes to warehouse racking. Every piece of used pallet racking we supply is inspected against SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association) guidelines and HSE (Health & Safety Executive) requirements before it leaves our facility.
Our inspection process covers structural integrity, beam connector condition, upright straightness, bracing security, base plate condition, and capacity labelling. Components that don't pass are rejected — we never compromise on quality.
Installation is carried out by our experienced SEIRS (Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme) qualified fitters, ensuring your racking is erected safely, level, and to the correct load specification. After installation, we conduct a final safety check and provide you with the appropriate load notices for your system.
