Benefits of Used Shelving

Exceptional Savings
Used shelving is a cost-effective solution, often available at a fraction of the price of new units. Consequently, this cost savings allows businesses to allocate their budgets more efficiently, investing in other crucial areas of their operations. Thanks to our closeout prices, you can maximize your budget while still obtaining the storage solutions you need. Ultimately, this means significant cost savings with Coastal Material Handling.
Versatility and Durability

For example, it’s ideal for warehouses, offices, garages, and retail spaces that may not have space for or access to powered lift equipment, offering flexible storage solutions. Crafted from robust materials, our shelving units can withstand heavy loads and provide long-lasting performance.
Customization
Choose from a variety of sizes and styles to create a solution tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, you can easily adjust shelf heights to accommodate items of various sizes, ensuring your storage adapts to your changing needs. This flexibility allows for easy access to items and helps maintain well-organized shelves, ultimately improving operational efficiency.
Easy Assembly


Lightweight Shelving or Rivet Rack Shelving is easy to assemble. The boltless design ensures hassle-free installation without the need for nuts or bolts, saving you time and effort.

FAQ’s

While it may appear indistinguishable from other styles, lightweight or rivet shelving comes with a few unique features. First is the rivet assembly design. With a single- or double-rivet system that locks shelves into place, rivet shelving is easy to assemble and surprisingly strong. Additionally, some systems won’t have sway bars or panels, making all four sides accessible.

The rivets are one of the key features of these storage systems.  These make assembly a breeze. In most cases, the only tool you might need will be a rubber mallet to help lock the rivets in place. You’ll find you won’t need to struggle with nuts, fasteners or bolts. That makes for easy assembly.

Yes, most lightweight or rivet units are adjustable and designed to allow easy modification of shelf heights. This can help facilities accommodate items of varying sizes. To adjust shelves, most units require the movement of the rivets themselves as well as repositioning of the shelves.

The weight capacity for lightweight units is going to depend on several factors. This includes the size of the unit, materials and the design. Generally speaking, though, standard units can handle loads from 500 to 1,500 lbs per shelf. Always review manufacturer specifications to determine proper weight capacity ranges.

You’ll often need to decide between metal wire decking or particle board construction. Wire decking is a sturdier option that can stand up to low temperatures and moisture, all while handling heavy loads with ease. Particle board can still offer reliable storage — and often at a lower cost relative to wire decking — but is more susceptible to extreme temperature shifts, moisture, and damage.
