How to Buy Used Pallet Racking from Conesco in Houston:

  1. Contact Conesco: It’s best practice to schedule an appointment with one of their sales representatives before visiting their Houston location. While they assist walk-ins, an appointment ensures the most efficient use of your time. You can contact them via their website’s contact form or by phone (they list a Colorado number, but they serve Houston).
  2. Understand Their Sales Model: Conesco is not an auction house, and they do not do equipment bidding.5 Their inventory of popular used materials moves quickly due to cost savings compared to new equipment. They encourage quick action to secure the equipment you want.

     

  3. Order Confirmation: Once your quote is confirmed as an order and payment has been made, they honor that order.
  4. On-Site Visit (by appointment): If you visit in person, a salesperson will accompany you around the warehouse and yard to help you find the specific equipment you need. They emphasize safety in the warehouse due to heavy materials.
  5. Pickup or Delivery:
    • Pickup: If you prefer to pick up your materials, they will coordinate a pickup time. Their team will load your truck and provide a Bill of Lading (BOL).6

       

    • Delivery/Installation: They can also arrange for delivery and installation of the materials at your location.

Key Questions to Ask When Buying Used Warehouse Equipment from Conesco:

Conesco encourages customers to ask thorough questions before purchasing used equipment:

  1. Sizes, Capacities, and Styles: Request detailed specifications (e.g., in PDF format, over the phone, or in person) to ensure the equipment meets your warehouse needs. They also welcome in-person verification at their Denver sale location.
  2. Condition:
    • They will send photos of the equipment via email during warehouse liquidations.
    • They will explicitly state if the condition is “stellar” or “like new.”
    • Crucially, they only sell equipment that maintains structural integrity, safety, and meets its size’s weight capacity.7

       

    • Expect some rust and aesthetic imperfections common with used metal materials, but structural integrity is prioritized.
    • They can fabricate materials to adjust sizing, which might result in two-color variations (e.g., silver footplates on cut-down uprights).8

       

    • If aesthetics are a high priority, communicate this, and they will try to find materials of your preferred color and condition or quote new materials.
  3. Reputation of the Company: Conesco emphasizes its long-standing reputation since 1986 as a leader in the material handling industry.9 They differentiate themselves from auction houses by being specialists in quality used equipment and working with professionals for safe warehouse teardowns.10 They pride themselves on decades of experience and being family-owned and operated.11

     

Conesco maintains a 20,000 square foot warehouse and a 5.5-acre yard of inventory at their Centennial, Colorado headquarters, and their team works nationwide, including serving customers in Houston, TX.12
