Strack nestainer rack variants for palletized cartons, woven bags, pails, small parts, and project gas cylinders. Match open frame, side grill, side bar, mesh deck, or chain restraint to the cargo behavior.
Strack is a welded nestainer rack family for forklift handling. The frame stays the same; the containment changes with the cargo. That is how one rack family can cover palletized cartons, woven bags, pails, small parts, and project-specific cylinder storage without forcing every load into one fixed structure.
Use an open frame when the load is already unitized and stable. Add side grills or side bars when the cargo can lean outward. Use a wire mesh deck when small parts or leakage are the issue. Use the cylinder version only when the project calls for chain restraint and three-sided bottle control. Empty racks also nest for compact return storage, so the same family works in both loaded and empty states.
Best for cartons, stretch-wrapped loads, boxed food, and other unitized cargo that already keeps its own shape. The open frame gives you a clean load bay without extra side containment.
Use when: the load is stable, boxed, or pallet-supported.
Not ideal when: the cargo is loose, top-heavy, or can spill through openings.
The side grill version is for woven bags and other soft packages that can bulge or lean outward. The vertical grill acts as a physical stop, so the stack stays inside the rack instead of spreading sideways.
Use when: bags need anti-tilt support and side containment.
Not ideal when: you need a fully open side for oversized pallet overhang.
Side bars are a lighter containment choice for pails and buckets. They stop lateral movement during handling and help prevent a row of containers from creeping outward or tipping when the rack is moved by forklift.
Use when: containers need lateral restraint, not a full cage.
Not ideal when: the load needs a closed bottom or anti-leak deck.
The wire mesh deck closes the base without turning the rack into a bin. That makes it suitable for small parts, accessories, and cargo that can slip through an open floor or drop from a pallet gap.
Use when: the base needs to retain smaller items or stop leakage.
Not ideal when: you need the most open possible fork access beneath the load.
This is a project-specific variant. The front chain catches the cylinder face from falling forward, while the three-side rails define the bay and keep the bottles aligned during handling and storage. It is designed for cylinder projects, not for mixed general cargo.
Use when: you need cylinder-specific restraint and controlled loading bays.
Not ideal when: the cargo is cartons, bags, or pails that do not need chain restraint.
Cartons, woven bags, pails, mesh items, and cylinders fail in different ways. Open frame, grill, side bar, mesh deck, and chain restraint each solve a different movement problem.
Soft bags and unstable stacks need side containment so the load cannot spread outward during forklift motion, turning, or short-distance transfer.
Wire mesh deck versions are for cargo that can fall through open gaps. They retain the load without forcing every project into the same closed cage.
The cylinder version is not a normal multi-use rack. The chain handles the front fall risk, and the three-sided rails keep the cylinders aligned in a dedicated bay.
Tell us whether the load is cartons, woven bags, pails, small parts, mixed packaging, or cylinders. Mixed cargo often needs more than one containment style.
Choose based on what must be stopped: outward tilt, falling through the base, forward drop, or side creep. That is the logic behind grill, side bar, mesh, and chain restraint.
Check pallet size, full load height, forklift entry, indoor or cold-room use, and whether the rack will sit in a dry warehouse or a humid environment.
We will match the containment to the cargo and help you avoid buying one rack type for every load when the cargo behavior is clearly different.
Use the open frame version when the cartons are already palletized or stretch-wrapped and do not need extra side restraint.
Use the side grill version when the bags can bulge or lean outward. If the package is a bucket or pail, the side bar version is usually the lighter fit.
No. The usable envelope depends on the configuration and the cargo. The product profile only gives a working range of about 1000-2000 kg depending on the version, so the final layout should be confirmed by project details.
No. It is a project-specific cylinder variant built around chain restraint and three-sided rail guidance. It should not be treated as a universal cargo frame.
