We have dismantled a rack storage structure on the property, and are offering it for sale, in pieces by lot. Possibilities include creating storage in your warehouse, or garage.
The vertical uprights are 30 feet long, but can be cut down to shorter lengths. They are available in both 4ft and 5ft depths.
The horizontal beams are numerous and come in 10ft or 12ft lengths. All beams attach to the verticals with a pin insert for easy attachment or adjustment. The beams feature a shelf where corrugated decking, wire frame, wood, or other such shelf design would sit in.
All parts are sold as is, Cash and Carry, from our location at 200 Roosevelt Drive Derby, during business hours. Business hours are Mon-Fri, 5:30AM-2:00PM. Afternoon or Weekend pickup times can be arranged.
Verticals: $30 each 30ft length
Horizontals: $15 each beam
Verticals can be cut into desired length (example - two 15ft lengths), and each horizontal includes 2 pins for attachment to Verticals.
A single vertical cut in half, plus 4 horizontal beams = $90 for minimum setup. Subsequent verticals can attach to the initial first shelf making incremental increase in storage space even less expensive. Racks are available in either 4ft or 5ft depth shelves. Horizontals are 10ft or 12ft in length. No variation in price among those component sizes.
This storage system is being dismantled from our property (see other blog entries), and has some surface rust spots where a coating of paint would improve it's aesthetics if you desired.
Use these to store small items, or complete pallets of product, even leave the space below open so that you can roll in access to equipment such as a lawnmower or welder and still have storage above.

At this stage, the Rack Storage structure has had all of it's roof decking as well as internal accessories removed. It was important to keep the various materials separated: cast iron drain pipe, sheathing sheet metal, roof decking corrugated steel, shelving steel, etc. Fortunately, we have a large yard to sort and separate the materials as seen in adjacent photo.
Keeping materials separated and uniform allowed efficient loading on trucks for consolidated delivery to the scrap yard, and yielding the best scrap price for semi-prepared materials rather than simply dumpsters filled with various components. It also allowed us to make the scrap deliveries ourselves rather than with large containers.
The rear of the structure was our first attempt because it was a bit more complicated. After the fire from the mid 1980's, when the State of CT seized the property, and subsequently sold it to the City of Derby, it was prepared to be marketed as an industrial park. As you might imagine, there were some shortcuts taken in that governmental preparation. On some parts of the structure, they left the existing siding and put on some "Z" girts for attaching a second layer of siding that was more aesthetically pleasing. In between was a layer of insulation, which seems strange since there was never any form of heat provided within the structure.
After the first layer was removed, insulation pulled away, and the second layer of sheathing removed, it left exposed the simple erector set of the storage racks. With this accomplished, to speed the progress and minimize the disruption as witnessed from the street, we removed all the coping that bridged between the siding and the roof (which was removed first).
