Industrial warehouse racking
Racking hire
Not every storage problem is worth buying steel for. Racking on hire covers a seasonal peak, a temporary distribution hub or the months between outgrowing one building and fitting out the next, and Rejuva delivers, installs and then removes it at the end of the term.
When hiring racking makes more sense than buying it
Buying racking is the right answer when the requirement is permanent, because the steel outlasts the payback several times over. It is the wrong answer when the requirement has an end date, and the situations where it does are common: a peak that lasts a quarter, an overflow unit taken for six months, a contract with a fixed term, or a fit-out that has not been signed off yet while the stock is arriving anyway.
Hire turns that into an operating cost with a start and a finish. The racking arrives, it is installed properly, it is worked like any other system, and at the end of the term it goes away again, along with the question of what to do with a warehouse full of steel you no longer need.
Where hired racking earns its place
-
Seasonal peaks
Capacity that has to exist for one quarter of the year and would stand empty for the other three.
-
Overflow space
A second unit taken on while the main building is full, fitted out quickly and handed back when the pressure passes.
-
Temporary and project sites
A distribution hub for a fixed-term contract, or storage alongside a construction or refurbishment programme.
-
Bridging a fit-out
The gap between needing the storage and the permanent racking being designed, ordered and installed.
-
Working through a refit
Somewhere for the stock to live while the racking it normally sits on is being replaced or relocated.
-
Proving a layout
Running a configuration for a season before committing capital to it permanently, which is cheaper than finding out afterwards.
What the hire includes
The racking is delivered, set out and installed by the crews who do Rejuva’s permanent installations, to the same drawings-and-anchors standard, because a system that is only there for six months still has to hold what is put on it. Protection and signage are fitted with it.
During the term it is reconfigured if the operation changes, and at the end of it we dismantle and remove it. Racking that comes back sound goes back out again or into the second-hand stock, which is the same loop the buy-back service runs, and it is why hiring does not end in a skip.
Frequently asked questions about racking hire
Can the layout be changed during the hire term?
Yes. Hired racking is reconfigured in the same way as any other system, so a run can be extended, shortened or repitched as the stock changes. It is arranged with us rather than done in-house, because the layout has to stay within what the design allows.
What safety measures come with hired racking?
The racking is inspected before it goes out and is installed by the same certified crews who install systems that are bought, to the same standards. Hired racking sits under EN 15635 in service exactly as owned racking does.
How quickly can racking be delivered and installed?
It depends on the site, the access, the volume and how much of the system has to come from stock rather than from another contract that is ending. Tell us the dates you are working to and we will say what is achievable rather than quote a standard lead time.
Can you supply hired racking across several sites?
Yes. Multi-site hire is arranged on one agreement, which is usually the point for operations that peak in different places at different times of year.
What happens to the racking at the end of the term?
We dismantle and remove it. What comes back in serviceable condition goes on to another hire or into the second-hand stock behind the buy-back service, rather than being scrapped.
Racking services, from first survey to buy-back
Racking is not only bought. It has to be installed to the design, inspected while it is in use, repaired when it is hit, and moved or sold when the operation changes.
Racking systems we design and install
Every system sits somewhere on one trade-off: selectivity, meaning you can reach any pallet at any time, against density, meaning how many pallets fit into the same floor area.
