Description
Our stackable metal racks are reusable steel storage units designed for products that need organized, flexible, and space-efficient storage. The rack consists of a welded steel base with removable round tube posts, allowing the structure to accommodate different products and storage requirements.
The racks can be stacked vertically when loaded, making better use of available warehouse height. When the tubular posts are removed, the units can be handled and stored more conveniently.
This design is suitable for a variety of applications, including cold storage, agricultural products, tire storage, manufacturing, and warehouse material handling.
Different dimensions, load capacities, tube sizes, and surface treatments are available for customized projects.
Removable Round Tube Rack Structure
The rack is built around a simple welded steel base and a set of removable tubular posts.
The base provides the primary support for the stored products, while the round tubes create a defined storage area around the load. The tubes can be inserted into the designated sockets and removed when a different configuration is required.
This makes the rack adaptable to products with different dimensions and shapes without changing the entire storage unit.
The removable structure is also practical during transportation. When the posts are not required, they can be separated from the base, allowing the components to be organized more efficiently for handling or storage.
Welded Steel Base
The base is manufactured from steel sections and welded into an integrated structure.
Its dimensions and structural members can be adjusted according to the required load capacity and stored product. Reinforced construction is available for applications involving heavier materials or higher stacking requirements.
The base also provides a stable platform when several units are arranged vertically.
Removable Tubular Posts
The round tube posts are designed to provide lateral support and help keep stored products within the rack area.
Post diameter, height, quantity, and spacing can be adjusted according to the application.
For example, larger or heavier products may require a stronger tubular configuration, while smaller products can use a more compact arrangement.
The posts can also be removed when open access to the base is preferred.
Key Advantages
The product is designed for storage environments where a permanent racking installation is not necessary or where inventory needs to be frequently rearranged.
Vertical Space Utilization
Stacking multiple units creates additional storage levels without installing a conventional beam-based racking system.
This can be useful in warehouses where floor space is limited but sufficient clear height is available.
Flexible Configuration
The removable tubes allow one rack design to accommodate different products.
A customer can adjust the storage configuration by changing the tube arrangement rather than replacing the complete rack.
Easy Relocation
Each unit functions as an independent storage container. Suitable forklifts or handling equipment can move the racks between production, storage, loading, and distribution areas.
This is useful for operations where products frequently change locations.
Reusable Construction
The steel structure is intended for repeated use. It can be loaded, unloaded, moved, stacked, and returned to storage through multiple operating cycles.
This makes it suitable for returnable storage and long-term material-handling applications.
Convenient Empty Storage
Removing the round tubes reduces the assembled height of the unit. This can simplify the organization of unused racks and improve the efficiency of transportation between facilities.
Storage Performance
The performance of the rack is determined by its structural dimensions, steel specifications, load distribution, and stacking configuration.
Load Capacity
Load capacity can be engineered according to the maximum weight of the stored product.
The design considers the rack dimensions, steel members, welding structure, base construction, and required stacking level.
For accurate engineering, the maximum working load should be provided rather than an average product weight.
Stacking Stability
The structure is designed to support vertical stacking within its specified operating limits.
When multiple units are stacked, both the stored goods and the racks above contribute to the load carried by the lower unit. For this reason, stacking height and load distribution need to be established during product design.
The supporting floor should also be sufficiently level and stable.
Forklift Handling
The base can be configured for forklift handling according to the customer’s equipment.
Fork entry dimensions and structural clearances can be adjusted to suit different forklift models and handling procedures.
Cold Storage Applications
In refrigerated warehouses, efficient use of vertical space is particularly important because maintaining a controlled temperature across a large floor area can be costly.
These racks can be used for packaged frozen food, seafood, meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and other temperature-sensitive goods.
The tubular structure provides separation around the stored products while allowing the units to be stacked vertically.
For environments with condensation or high humidity, the surface treatment can be selected according to the actual conditions. Powder coating and galvanizing are available options.
The specific coating should be selected based on operating temperature, moisture exposure, cleaning procedures, and corrosion requirements.
Agricultural Product Storage
Agricultural products often have strong seasonal characteristics. During harvest periods, warehouses may need additional storage capacity, while demand can decrease considerably during other periods.
The modular design is suitable for this type of changing inventory.
The base dimensions can be manufactured according to the size and weight of the agricultural products, while the removable tubes provide additional support around the stored goods.
Typical applications include fruits, vegetables, packaged agricultural products, and other materials that require temporary or seasonal warehouse storage.
Tire Storage
Tires have a unique shape and require storage equipment that can accommodate different diameters and widths.
These units can be configured as tire storage racks by adjusting the base dimensions and tubular post arrangement according to the tire specification.
The steel structure provides a defined storage area, while vertical stacking helps increase storage capacity within the available floor space.
For tire manufacturers, wholesalers, automotive warehouses, and distribution centers, the racks can be reused as inventory moves between storage and distribution areas.
Industrial Material Storage
The same structure can also be used for industrial materials and components.
Applications may include automotive parts, production materials, finished goods, packaging materials, and other products that benefit from contained storage.
Because the posts are removable, the rack does not have to be limited to one product type. Different configurations can be used according to the dimensions and handling requirements of the materials.
This makes it particularly useful in manufacturing environments where product specifications change regularly.
Custom Stackable Storage Racks
Every storage application has different requirements. The rack can therefore be manufactured according to the customer’s product and handling conditions.
Customization can include:
Overall length and width
Base height and structural design
Maximum working load
Round tube diameter
Tube height
Number and position of tubes
Forklift entry dimensions
Surface treatment
Color and identification
Packaging configuration
For tire applications, the design can be based on tire dimensions and weight. For agricultural products, the base and tube configuration can be adjusted to suit the size and characteristics of the goods.
Customers can also provide drawings for OEM production.
Surface Treatment
Steel storage equipment used in industrial or outdoor-adjacent environments may be exposed to moisture, condensation, or frequent cleaning.
Powder coating provides a durable finish for general warehouse applications, while galvanizing can be considered where additional corrosion protection is required.
For cold rooms and agricultural storage environments, the appropriate finish should be selected according to the actual conditions rather than using the same coating for every application.
Color and surface specifications can also be customized for different projects.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
The product is manufactured through steel preparation, cutting, forming, welding, tube fabrication, dimensional inspection, surface treatment, and final assembly checks.
The welded base is inspected for dimensional consistency and structural quality. The removable tube system is checked to ensure that the posts fit correctly into their designated positions.
Dimensional consistency is particularly important when units are stacked together. The base and stacking interfaces must remain compatible across the production batch.
For larger orders, production can follow approved drawings and specifications to maintain consistent dimensions and appearance between batches.
OEM and ODM Manufacturing
We provide OEM and ODM manufacturing for distributors, warehouse equipment suppliers, agricultural businesses, tire storage companies, logistics providers, and industrial customers.
Customers can provide an existing drawing or specify the required dimensions and performance.
Customized options include structure, dimensions, load capacity, tubular post configuration, surface finish, color, logo, markings, and packaging.
For repeat orders, the approved product specification can be retained as the manufacturing reference to maintain consistency across future batches.
