What are multi-level racks used for?

Multi-level racks are most commonly used for transporting parts or other goods that need to be protected. Usually, they’re used in the context of stampings and assemblies.They are extremely beneficial for transporting parts that cannot be put into a basket. As multi-level racks do an excellent job of protecting items, they are often used for class A surfaces, which are components of a car that will be seen by the customer once installed. In short, these parts cannot incur  any damage during transport, so the multi-level rack is used to protect them via custom dunnage systems. 

 

It is also important to keep in mind the size and height of a multi-level rack. The multiple shelves allow for a shorter rack without compromising the pack density. This enables you to  stack more product within a truck than is possible with a single level rack. This leads to fuel and transportation savings.

 

How do multi-level racks work?

When unloading multi-level racks, they prove useful due to their swinging shelf. The middle shelf is able to be out of the way, so it makes unloading the bottom much easier. It is also possible to build racks taller so more goods can be stacked on a single truck. Not only is unloading easier but fitting more parts into one rack and therefore onto one truck is extremely advantageous.

 

Who uses multi-level racks?

Due to the numerous benefits that multi-level racks offer, they are generally utilized by OEMs such as Ford or Chrysler, but they could be helpful for anyone that does sequencing. As the racks stack on top of themselves, they help keep things from moving and also keeps things safe by creating a storage cell. In addition to OEMs, industries and manufacturers in the truck and trailer industry outside of automotive could also benefit from using multi-level racks. Different companies that are going to assemble a product that has many separate parts or components could benefit from using a multi-level rack because of the ability to securely put many parts into one rack.
