Functionality of Portable Stackable Material Racks
Stack racks are designed to offer unparalleled flexibility and functionality in warehouse environments. Their primary function lies in providing a convenient and efficient means of storing, organizing, and transporting various materials. These racks typically consist of a steel frame with removable posts and decking options, allowing for easy customization and adaptation to specific storage requirements.
One of the key features of stack racks is their stackability, which enables them to be stacked on top of each other when not in use, minimizing floor space utilization and maximizing vertical storage capacity. This stackable design also facilitates easy loading and unloading of goods using forklifts or pallet jacks, ensuring swift and hassle-free material handling operations.
Stack Rack Decking and Additional Add-on Options
The most common style decking for portable stack racks is open frame. There are a couple different optional deck styles for stack racks such as wire mesh decking, solid steel decking, perforated decking, or wood decking. Each type provides additional support and protection for different types of goods. This versatility makes stack racks suitable for storing a wide range of items, including palletized products, automotive components, lumber, carpet, pipes, tires, and more.
Another important aspect of stack racks is their portability and optional add-on features. Since every material rack is made-to-order, EGA works with you to design and manufacture the exact rack you need. Some additional add-on options include:
- Floor skid runners for unit convey-ability
- Fork stirrups or pockets to prevent shifting of racks on fork tines
- Different colors
- Container or basket style bulk material racks
- Higher “heavy-duty” capacity
These racks can be effortlessly moved around the warehouse or transported to different locations, offering unparalleled flexibility in storage and logistics planning. Many customers use returnable shipping material racks to send product and material back and forth to their warehouses. This mobility feature is especially advantageous for businesses with evolving storage needs or those operating in dynamic environments where space utilization is critical.
