Racks & transport
Reduce the space taken by empty returnable racks with a fold-down arrangement. The loaded position and the folded return position both need to be described in the design brief.
Configuration planning
Consider post movement, latching, stacking and the people who handle the rack during the return cycle. Include the space needed to fold the rack and the method used to move an empty stack. Supplier examples illustrate possible layouts; permitted stacking loads must be established for the requested configuration.

Custom feasibility, final dimensions, rated loads and required documentation depend on the reviewed configuration. Submitting a quote request does not confirm a completed design or certification.
No. Stacking depends on the full rack geometry, connections and loads. Provide both loaded and empty arrangements so the supplier can review the permitted configurations.
Use the project quote form and include the application, dimensioned drawings, loads, quantity, delivery location and timing. Our team will review the requirements and respond as quickly as possible.
Present parts around a rotating rack when the workflow benefits from loading one side while unloading another. A carousel rack brief starts with the part shape and the position needed at the work station.
Review project requirements ↗Present components at defined positions for a production or handling process. An indexing tower rack needs a clear description of the required positions and the equipment that loads or unloads it.
Review project requirements ↗Move equipment or components on a rack intended for repeated trips. The design brief should cover the product during transport, loading, unloading and storage at both ends of the route.
