How we grade used racking.
Grades describe what the steel looks like. They don’t rate capacity. Every used piece is sold as used.
Or call or text (647) 692-4416.
| AGrade A | Straight and clean. Light scuffs at most, paint mostly intact. |
|---|---|
| BGrade B | Straight. Visible scuffs, label residue or paint loss. |
| CGrade C | Straight, with heavier cosmetic wear or surface rust. |
| Not sold | Anything that fails a check below. |

- No dents or crushed sections in the beam face

Photos
If a listing has photos we took of that stock, it says so. Otherwise the photo is an example from the same lot or of the same type. Ask and we’ll send photos of the pieces you’re buying.
Matching racking you already have
Connector styles and hole patterns vary by manufacturer. Tick “I’m adding to existing racking” in your quote list and attach a photo of your beam connector and the holes on your upright. We’ll check whether it’s Redirack before you buy.
Grades and load capacity
Our grades describe the condition of the steel. We don’t certify racking. Load capacity depends on the whole system: frame, beam, spacing and anchoring. Check the manufacturer’s load tables.
