You put in 2Xs, the top of them is level with the top of the pallet rack rail. You can still stack pallets on them. The guys that resell used pallet rack get big bucks. Way better to buy it direct for the owner, and better yet at auction. ---------------------- From: G Mann via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: G Mann <g2ma...@gmail.com> Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] pallet rack: wuz: I’m out of shape Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2019 22:17:49 -0700 Sender: "Mercedes" <mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com> The stuff I bought has a heavy gauge wire inserts that make up the "shelves". setup was easy, and the wire inserts will hold boxes, or pallets, or about anything. Previously, I had racks with 2x4's and it took forever to set up.. Wire is the way to go for ease. ---------------------- Craig _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
