Stacking Racks

Portable steel racks that stack up to five high with a forklift, so crushable and odd-shaped loads use your building height without weight on the load below. Empty racks nest or break down flat. No anchoring, no permit, no installation: they work the day they arrive.

Stacking racks FAQ

Ask your question

or call 971-337-6608

How are stacking racks priced?

Per rack: by footprint, clear height, capacity, deck and options, and by quantity, plus freight. Send what you store and how many racks you need, and we quote the exact rack.

How high can stacking racks go?

Up to five high when loaded, on a level floor, with each rack within its rating. The weight passes down the posts, so the load in the bottom rack carries nothing.

How much can one rack hold?

Stock racks are rated 2,000 or 4,000 lb, evenly loaded. Heavier racks are built to order.

What happens to empty racks?

Racks with removable posts nest six or seven to a stack once the posts are out; welded racks nest three or four with the posts on. They ship and store in a fraction of the space.

Do stacking racks need anchoring or a permit?

No. They are portable and freestanding, so there is nothing to anchor and no building permit for the racks. Keep stacks within the rated height and on a level floor.

Can you make a custom size?

Yes: footprint, clear height, deck, posts, color and handling options are all built to order when a stock size does not fit.

About stacking racks

Stacking racks are portable steel frames with a deck and four posts. A forklift lifts a loaded rack onto the one below, and the posts carry the weight, so boxes, rolls, bags and parts stack five high without crushing. When the season ends, the racks come apart and nest. Because they are freestanding, they suit leased buildings, overflow, yards and shipping, where fixed racking is not wanted. Lenokers supplies stacking racks in stock sizes and to order, new or used, shipped across the US.

How they stack

Each post ends in a cone or cap. The foot of the rack above drops over it and seats, so a stack lines up by itself and the load inside each rack carries no weight from above.

Empty racks nest

Pull the posts out and the bases nest six or seven to a stack. Welded racks nest three or four with the posts on. Empties ship back and store in a fraction of their working space.

Open base or a deck

The basic rack has an open steel base: pallets, rolls and long goods sit straight on it. When a load needs a floor, add wire mesh for boxes and air flow, wood boards for small items, or steel sheet for parts and drums.

Optional stacking rack decks: wire mesh, wood deck boards and steel sheet

Moving full stacks

A forklift picks up a single rack or a whole stack. Fork pockets, stirrups and runners make it faster, and casters let racks roll by hand.
