Industrial Stack Rack Systems for Warehouse Storage in Ohio

Stack Rack with Casters

Stack rack systems are available in a wide range of styles and configurations to match real world warehouse demands. Stack Rack Systems Ohio provide a flexible and high capacity storage solution for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities across the state. These portable stacking racks are ideal when traditional pallet racking systems are not the right fit, especially for bulky, irregular, or hard to palletize products. Their modular design allows businesses to increase vertical storage without permanent installation.

A stack rack can support palletized loads or serve as its own pallet base. With both side and end entry access, operators can load and unload materials conveniently from multiple directions.

Each unit features four way forklift access for easy mobility, even when fully loaded. Bases are available in open design or with wood decking. Most stack rack systems are constructed from heavy duty tubular steel, and removable posts allow units to stack up to six high depending on capacity.

When stacked, a stack rack system eliminates direct load contact between products. This reduces crushing and damage that can occur in other storage methods. Units typically provide approximately 4.5 inches of under clearance for forklift entry. Assembly is simple. Posts insert into corner sockets without tools, creating a strong modular structure.

Stack Rack Components

Every stack rack system consists of two primary components:

• Stackable steel base
• Removable tubular posts

Common capacities include:

• 2,000 pounds
• 4,000 pounds

Multiple base designs are available to support different applications.

Decking and Size Options

Stack racks are available in open base style as standard, with optional decking materials including:

• Wood
• Steel
• Wire mesh
• CDX decking panels

Common base sizes include:

• 48 inch by 48 inch
• 48 inch by 60 inch
• 60 inch by 60 inch

The 60 inch by 60 inch size is especially effective for tire storage. Custom sizes, capacities, and configurations are available to match specific storage requirements.

Optional features include fork stirrups and fork tunnels for improved handling flexibility.

Pallet Stacking Frames

We also supply pallet stacking frames. These four leg steel frames bolt directly onto each corner of a pallet to provide additional product stability. Units can typically stack four to five high and support substantial load capacities.

For certain applications, pallet stacking frames provide a simple way to increase vertical storage without installing permanent systems.

A Practical Solution for Flexible Warehouses

One of the advantages of a stack rack system is its ability to break down completely when not in use. This is especially helpful for seasonal operations that experience fluctuations in inventory levels. When demand decreases, racks can be disassembled and stored compactly.

Stack racks are also an excellent option in leased facilities where anchoring traditional pallet racking to concrete is not permitted.

Common Stack Rack Applications Across Ohio

Stack rack systems are used throughout Ohio in manufacturing, automotive, construction, distribution, and food processing environments. Their portability and vertical stacking capability make them ideal for operations that need flexible storage without permanent installation.

Manufacturing facilities use stack racks to store raw materials, work in process inventory, and finished goods while maintaining efficient forklift access.

Automotive operations rely on stack rack systems for engines, axles, body panels, and tire storage. The vertical density these racks provide helps maximize floor space while protecting components from damage.

Construction companies use stack racks to store and transport pipe, lumber, steel components, and other job site materials.

Distribution centers organize bulk merchandise, pallets, bins, and containers using stacking racks to improve efficiency and space utilization.

Food and beverage operations depend on heavy duty stack rack systems to store and move kegs, barrels, and case goods safely in demanding environments.

You know who else uses them… WE DO! They are perfect to store new and used Pallet Rack Beams of various lengths and capacities.

Nesting Racks

Nesting racks offer the same strength and versatility as a traditional stack rack system, with the added benefit of space saving storage when not in use. These racks are available in a wide range of sizes and load capacities, making them a practical solution for bulk storage applications across many industries.

The key advantage of a nesting rack is its ability to slide inside another empty rack. Units can typically nest several high and be moved together, saving time and floor space. When inventory levels drop, racks can be consolidated into a compact footprint rather than occupying valuable storage area.

Rear posts act as load stops to help ensure proper product placement and added stability during use.

Nesting rack systems are commonly:

• Available in multiple sizes
• Stacked in columns of four or five units
• Rated for capacities between 2,000 and 4,000 pounds

For operations that experience seasonal demand swings or changing storage requirements, nesting racks provide flexibility without sacrificing strength.

Stackable “U” Shaped Bar Racks and Cradles

Stackable U shaped bar racks, also known as cradle racks, provide a strong and flexible storage solution for long or heavy materials. These welded steel units are built to handle substantial loads while remaining manageable enough for one person to position and assemble.

Each rack can stack up to five units high, allowing you to increase vertical storage without permanent installation. Because the system is modular, you can select the length, depth, and height that best fits your application.

The durable welded steel construction delivers dependable performance in demanding industrial environments. Units are sold individually, making it easy to build a storage system that matches your exact requirements.

Key features include:

• Stackable design that allows up to five high
• Modular sizing options for customized layouts
• Welded steel construction for heavy duty use
• Manageable weight for straightforward setup

These cradle style stack rack systems work well for bar stock, tubing, fabricated components, and other materials that require supported horizontal storage.

Stackable Pipe Rack Storage

Stack rack systems are also commonly used for pipe storage. Stackable pipe racks include horizontal beams and evenly spaced dividers that create organized compartments. Pipes of various sizes can be stored vertically, maximizing space while keeping materials accessible.

This design improves organization, protects inventory, and supports safer material handling practices.
