Whether you’re responding to seasonal demand, setting up a temporary distribution hub, or waiting on longer-term infrastructure, BECOSAN offers a fast, flexible way to stay organised and productive. Our racking hire solutions keep your facility running without delay — no long-term investment required.
Warehouse needs change quickly, and permanent infrastructure doesn’t always keep pace. Hiring racking provides the flexibility to respond to operational changes without the upfront costs or procurement delays associated with a full installation.
Benefits of racking hire include:
BECOSAN offers adjustable terms aligned with your business model — so your racking setup evolves with your operation, not against it.
Deciding whether to buy or rent your racking system depends on factors such as investment, flexibility, and maintenance requirements. Here’s a side-by-side comparison to help clarify which option suits your business needs.
When you buy, you invest capital upfront and take full responsibility for maintenance, repairs, and long-term management. Ownership offers control but requires planning for ongoing costs and potential modifications.
Renting spreads costs over time and shifts maintenance duties to the provider. This option offers greater flexibility to scale and adapt your storage solution without tying up large capital.
| Parameter | Buying | Renting |
|---|---|---|
| Capital investment | Large upfront payment, capital tied up | Lower initial cost, improves cash flow |
| Maintenance and repairs | Managed by your team, additional expense | The provider handles maintenance and repairs |
| Flexibility | Limited changes without extra cost | Easy expansion or reduction as needed |
| Damage risk | Costs borne by the owner | The provider manages damage and replacements |
| Financial impact | Long-term depreciation affects profits | Predictable operational expense, asset-light model |
Racking hire is an ideal fit for 3PL providers onboarding new clients or launching pilot sites, allowing them to quickly adapt without committing to permanent installations.
It also benefits facilities awaiting CAPEX approval or dealing with long lead times for installation, as well as temporary operations such as seasonal hubs or event-based warehousing, where flexibility and speed are crucial. Short-term leases can be challenging for permanent racking, making hire an effective alternative.
Additionally, businesses that test new workflows or processes, where adaptability is key, find hiring invaluable. BECOSAN supports you in evaluating when rental is the most effective option and ensures a smooth transition, whether you choose to scale up, scale down, or buy outright later.
We make it easy to get up and running, with no unnecessary delays and no handoffs between multiple suppliers. Here’s how it works:
We conduct a racking inspection to review your floor plan, racking needs, and expected duration, and recommend the optimal setup for your storage and throughput.
You’ll receive a clear breakdown of available racking types, pricing by duration, and any delivery or installation costs, no hidden extras.
Racks arrive ready for immediate use. Our certified installers assemble and secure the system with minimal disruption to your workflow.
Need to reconfigure or extend your hire? We’re available throughout your term to adapt the setup as your needs evolve. Our ongoing support also includes optional add-ons such as maintenance, reconfiguration, or even a transition to purchase if your needs change.
“At BECOSAN, everything is managed through a single point of contact, guaranteeing clarity, accountability, and consistency at every stage of your project.”
