Steel King Portable RacksAlthough Steel King Industries has been designing, manufacturing, and promoting StacKing portable racks for over one quarter century, it is still surprising how many people are unfamiliar with the portable rack concept. In many situations, StacKing portable racks are a far better material handling solution than is the better known standard pallet racking. It pays to know the advantages of the StacKing portable rack!
The StacKing rack's vertical posts allow the racks to be stacked several units high, without load-on-load contact. Compared to simple wood pallets, this can eliminate product crushing damage. More overhead space can be used, more safely, and with less product damage. The StacKing rack provides a measure of protection for the load it holds. During in-plant handling, or in shipment, the StacKing rack can reduce costly damage. Traditional fixed position pallet racks cannot do so! StacKing racks, by the nature of their portability, allow the user to maximize storage density (like a drive-in or flow rack), or to maximize selectivity (like traditional selective rack), or anything in between, all with the same rack. With the StacKing rack, it is easy to change from one rack layout to another. There is no expensive installation or dismantling cost with StacKing!
Some loads cannot be stored efficiently on traditional pallet rack. Boxes, tires, rolls, coils, and other hard to handle items are ideal for the StacKing. Of course, the StacKing handles the easier loads too. Before you buy your next pallet rack system, consider the benefits of the StacKing rack. It may be a real saver of time and money for your operation! |
StacKing racks eliminate the need to purchase,
lease, repair, and/or dispose of traditional wood pallets. The StacKing rack's
tubular steel base, with or without various deck coverings, acts as its own
pallet. This eliminates the costs and disposal headaches associated with wood
pallets. 
Because of their removable comer posts, the StacKing racks
can be shipped and stored very densely. Traditional racking consumes the same
space at all times, whether empty or full. This makes the StacKing rack ideal
for applications with fluctuating inventory levels, as the racks can be stored
in a fraction of their normal space, freeing valuable floorspace for other
uses.
