Sell Link 51 Racking
Also known as: Link51, Link 51 XL
Link 51 is one of the most recognisable British racking brands. We buy pallet racking, longspan shelving and boltless shelving carrying the Link 51 name.
How to identify Link 51 racking
A long-established UK manufacturer whose racking and shelving is found in warehouses, workshops and stores nationwide.
- Uprights typically carry punched slots in a regular vertical pattern with the brand name printed or stamped near the base.
- Beams are usually box-section with a welded end connector and a separate locking clip or pin.
- Many Link 51 systems were finished in a distinctive orange or blue — colour alone is not proof, but it is a useful first clue.
- Check the footplate: manufacturer markings and load-notice labels often survive there long after the beam labels have gone.
Not sure? Photograph the beam end connector, the upright slots and the footplate — see the racking identification guide.
Typical sizes and specification
- • Beam lengths commonly 2,700mm and 3,300mm
- • Frame depths commonly 900mm and 1,100mm
- • Both pallet racking and longspan/boltless shelving ranges
Always work to the load notice or the manufacturer's data for your specific installation — never to a general figure.
Compatibility
Link 51 beams fit Link 51 frames. Treat any cross-brand mixing as unsafe unless a SEMA-qualified inspector has signed it off.
What we pay for Link 51
Strong and steady, particularly for longer beams and taller frames. We price per bay, not per tonne, whenever the system can be resold for storage use. The number moves with quantity, condition, size consistency and access — the valuation guide explains exactly how. Send photos and a bay count and you get a firm written offer rather than a phone-call guess.
Link 51 FAQs
Do you buy Link 51 shelving as well as pallet racking?
Yes — longspan and boltless shelving are both bought, usually priced per bay rather than per component.
How do I know if mine is Link 51 or Dexion?
The quickest check is the beam end connector and the upright slot shape. Send us three photos — one full run, one close-up of the beam end, one of the footplate — and we will identify it for you.
