Wondering how to properly set up and utilize stacking racks? They are simple, flexible, and designed to maximize your storage space efficiently.

Using a stacking rack is very simple. Assembly is complete by simply inserting the four detachable uprights into the sleeves at the four corners of the rack. For added stability, ensure each layer is level and the load is evenly distributed. When handling heavy objects, use a forklift equipped with a rack specifically designed for this type of stacking rack for easy stacking and movement.

High-Density Storage & Robust Durability: The stacking racks are made of cold-rolled steel, making them sturdy, durable, and with a high load-bearing capacity to stably support the weight of goods. They support multi-level stacking, vertically utilizing warehouse space for high-density storage and significantly improving space utilization.

Full-Dimensional Customization: Various sizes can be precisely customized to your product specifications and warehouse layout, perfectly adapting to different storage needs. Customized design maximizes adaptability to different storage scenarios, avoiding space waste and ensuring efficient use of every inch of warehouse space.

Highly Flexible Operation: Stacking racks do not require bolts to be fixed to the warehouse floor and can be moved to any position with the forklift, which speeds up the warehousing process, significantly shortens operation time, and improves the overall warehouse operating efficiency.


What is a stack rack used for?

Stacking racks are a versatile storage system designed to improve space utilization and facilitate material handling. They are widely used for storing pallets, boxes, or individual products.

In particular, stacking racks are ideal for high-density storage because they can be stacked vertically, saving valuable floor space. They are also commonly used in cold storage facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing plants to stabilize and organize goods. These stacking racks are typically modular in design and can be combined with other racking or pallet systems.

For example, in a recent case, a warehouse utilized stacking racks to optimize its cold storage space, achieving safe, high-level stacking and significantly improving storage efficiency.

How to stack boxes so they don't collapse?

Proper stacking is crucial to preventing accidents or product damage. First, ensure the bottom layer is stable—use a flat surface. When stacking boxes, place the heaviest and largest boxes at the bottom, followed by lighter and smaller items.

Even weight distribution is essential, and stacking height must not exceed the maximum limit. Use pallets or guardrails as needed to prevent deformation. For fragile or irregularly shaped boxes, use padding or partitions for stability.

When using stacking racks, ensure the uprights are securely inserted into the sleeves and that each layer is level.

When stacking multiple layers, check the load-bearing capacity of each layer to avoid overloading.

Regularly inspecting and rotating stored items helps maintain safety and product quality.


Can you stack pallet racks?

Yes, pallet stacker racks can be stacked, but this requires careful planning. Stackable racks are designed to be stable and robust enough to support vertically stacked pallets and goods.

When stacking pallet stacker racks, always ensure that the total load does not exceed the maximum load capacity of each rack.

In my experience, using stacker racks integrated with forklifts makes handling heavy pallets safer. Proper securing, reasonable load distribution, and following the manufacturer's instructions are key to safe stacking.

In summary, proper use, careful stacking, and understanding the load limits ensure your storage system is safe, efficient, and maximizes your warehouse space.
