Strength & stability for heavy, expensive components

These high capacity racks give you the strength to carry focused, ultra-heavy loads that don't work on conventional roll-form rack systems and waste space when floor stacked. You can access stored components easily with a forklift. They give you the flexibility and selectivity you need to organize and safely store heavy-duty dies and other components on a production floor, in an assembly area or distribution warehouse.

Storage density advantages

Saving space is critical, and these racks let you store these problematic loads in stable vertical platforms -- much more efficient than floor or low level racks.

Ideal storage for a variety or items

• Dies
• Motors
• Jigs
• Heavy fixtures

Die racks feature a solid metal shelf design allowing die placement anywhere along the shelf, and can accommodate a variety of die sizes. Shelf design allows dies to be slid on or off a shelf for easy access and storage. For optimal storage flexibility, shelves can be designed so that they are removable from the uprights and the heights adjustable in 3" increments across the entire vertical height of the upright.

Die Storage Rack columns

• 3" x 3" or 4" x 4", 7 gauge structural tube
• 3" x 3" or 4" x 4", 11 gauge structural tube
• 3 column heights - 96", 120" or 144"
• 2 frame depths - 36" or 48"

The first style has holes punched at 3" increments the entire height of the upright frame to provide vertical adjustability of the shelves. The second style, position-drilled, allows you to determine where exact shelf locations will be on the upright frames; holes are only punched in those areas. This style offers a more sanitary design and eliminates potential tampering with the shelf positions.

Shelves for Die & Motor Racks

• 3 shelf widths: 72", 96" or 120"
• 2 solid shelf thicknesses: 11-gauge, (1/8" thick), or 7-gauge, (3/16") thick. 250 or 500 lbs. capacity per square foot
• 2 Shelf designs:
  • Solid-welded sheet metal shelf is designed so that sheet metal "waterfalls over the top of tubular beams while supported by 2" x 2" horizontal cross-bars. Shipped as an entire, welded unit.
  • Knock-down bar grating shelf: Bar grating sits between structural channel beams and is supported by channel cross bars bolted to beams. Unit ships as individual components.
