Those commercial racks are good for lots of stuff better than scrap. When they were mostly made of metal I was always looking for them to use for shelving etc. Long before Ever considering collecting scrap metal, I'd actively look for store shelving being thrown out, and metal bed frames. Two of the main shelving and workbench units in my computer fix-up/tear-down room now are things I pieced together 25 or 30 years ago for Mom to use for her sewing and canning. When I began setting up a room inside here to work in I re-purpesed them from an old storage shed because they're still the strongest things around.
So much now is plastic, I would be dumbfounded seeing stores throwing out metal shelving and installing cheap plastic ones, but I'm glad I collected what I did of it

I was thinking on using the shelves to make sides for my truck since I kinda did to get all the stuff home haha

kochy: I would but I feel the 2 hour drive might kill my profit haha

oh and those racks have rolling bases looks like they bolt together somehow but not sure

It's hard to tell out of the pile exactly what the rolling racks would look like, but I sold similar ones for $100 each recently. They're much more expensive than that new.

thanks for the info, I saved them and hauled the other stuff to the yard. tried a different yard then I normally go to, ended up with almost 3000lbs of steel. most of which was just from this weekend. not too bad just wish I can have more days like this

Those racks look like ones I'm in seen in retail stores. Good for hanging items on via pegs,clothing, etc. The rest looks like you raided a gym all that exorcise equipment..lol.

Nice score Bigdog.
