Overview

More than just a clamp rack, this is a full-service mobile work station and storage solution! Load both sides to the hilt with clamps, and use the interior space to store everything from air compressors to dust collectors. Four included hooks make it simple to install a shop-made storage shelf, while four high-quality polyurethane casters let you roll the entire rig anywhere in the shop. The heavy-duty 5/8" diameter steel rods are strong enough to hold a full row of clamps and simultaneously support a shelf filled with tools. The steel rods can be repositioned in 13 mounting holes. Solid steel construction for maximum strength and stability. Uses carriage bolts for one-wrench assembly. We're excited about the new Pack Rack's® space-saving and shop-organization potential, and we can't wait to hear what you think!

Excellent Quality and Very Rugged!! You can maximize your storage capacity with very little shop space square footage required. Highly recommend getting the "Shelf Hooks Pack" and make additional storage area.

Finally cleaned up and organized all the wood clamps in my shop!
Conrad P on Aug 24, 2016
Clamp storage on the wall was taking up too much room in my shop. It's inconvenient to put a stationary tool in front of them. The ability to have almost all of my clamps at my side while clamping up a project is time and step saving. I also find that I put the clamps away right after using them without having to carry armloads of clamps across the shop dodging tools and other obstacles. It is also possible to make it a portable tool station while working on a project. Shelves are handy.

Briggetta H on Mar 1, 2016
My husband absolutely LOVES his new clamp storage system. It rolls very nicely, even loaded down with pipes and supplies. Even I can move it, and it sometimes weighs as much as I do! Love that you can add shelves to it, which makes it more functional. Couldn't ask for a better product.

Dean W on Feb 20, 2016
the Clamp Rack has been one of the best additions to my shop - get the Top Cap and at least 1 extra shelf - all my clamps, routers, bits, glue and tools - everything I need to join and assemble cabinets, in one place, on Wheels! keeps it all organized, moves easily to where you are working, or out of the way.

DAVID P on Feb 17, 2017
What is the longest pipe clamp you can store on this?
Dana S on Jun 19, 2015
BEST ANSWER: If you hang it with the movable jaw up, and slide the jaw down, the rest of the pipe will stick up above the rack and you can easily store eight feet if you have that much head room in your shop. You should be able to store longer than that as long as the length of pipe sticking up doesn't over balance the rest of the clamp and you don't hit the ceiling.
How many clamps will the system hold roughly?
Mike M on Oct 15, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I put 12 half inch clamps on each side with no strain. If your clamps are short enough you can put two rows. I also put five clamps across each end with some plywood strips behind them and bungee straps to keep them from swinging and falling off. I intend to build a box to fit across the top, I see Rockler sells parts to make a box to store strap clamps, spring clamps and whatever. I also store a pressurized glue pot in the middle because I put a piece of plywood in the middle for a floor. With a little creativity you can store a lot of things, and because the wheels are very good, it's still easy to move.
Do all four wheels swivel? I have a small shop and I don't like fighting with wheels that don't swivel.
Ernie on Mar 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They all swivel. It's very easy to move around the shop.
Do the clamps just hang, or do they have to be tightened in order to stay?
Jaze D on Nov 1, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The clamps s/b tightened, particularly if you want to roll the Pack Rack around. Since the upper steel horizontal members are 'L' shaped, with a sharp edge down, you may want to saw/cut some fitting wood 'spacers' to go inside the 'L' shape so that clamp faces go up against wood and don't get marred by the sharp edge(s).
Does anyone use their clamp rack for the dust right dust collection system? If so, how do you secure the board from which the dust right hangs?
Howard M on Nov 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I use it as a dust collection system. At the top, it attaches to the top frame and at the bottom, pocket holes were used to attach it a board attached to the base of the frame.
what is the size of the top cap ?
Danny S on Nov 6, 2016
BEST ANSWER: the I/d is 23" L x 7" W x 2" H
What size steel angle is used for the frame of this rack?

Directions could be clearer; one piece had bolt holes wrong
First of all, if you put this together correctly, it is a pretty good, solid item. The directions are not completely clear on the initial assembly, and I as I learned, it is possible to get one bolt in each corner with the thing assembled completely wrong.

I did have one part #4 with the holes wrong. Had I just assembled it with the holes as is, the lip to hold the bottom shelf would have been OUTSIDE the frame instead of inside of it. I probably should have contacted Rockler to replace this one part, but I I just drilled holes where needed to be able to assemble it correctly.

I'm planning to use it to support the Dust Right motor and collection bag with the attachments. I have no reason to believe it won't work well for this purpose.

Outstanding. In over 35+ years of...
Outstanding. In over 35+ years of woodworking I've looked for good clamp storage solutions, built a few, used garage & basement spaces creatively, but never had a solution that so well fulfilled my needs as the Pack Rack. I bought the basic system and 2 sets of longer clamp rods, 2 extra shorter clamp rod sets, 1 extra shelf support hardware system (giving a bottom and 2 mid-level shelves), and the top tray. As noted variously by others: ONE This is the first time I've had all of my clamps in one place at one time (34 bar clamps 2' - 4' long, 12 pipe clamps 2'-4' long, 14 vice-grip clamps from 6" - 36" long, 20 spring clamps 2" to 8", 16 woodscrew clamps from 4" to 12" (and one 16"... why one and why 16"? don't know), 6 web clamps, 24 6" c-clamps, 12 miscellaneous sized c-clamps, 4 corner clamps, 4 corner clamp squares, a 4' 2-sided clamp and a few other miscellaneous clamps; TWO Its nice to easily pull the clamps to the work than the other way around; and THREE I've reclaimed about 12' of very important wall space that was not mobile. I too am looking at buying another rack system to store several other tools and long items (e.g., straight edges, t-squares, 3' to 4' drill bits and drill bit extensions, wall fish-rod sections, router & saw fences & mitre guages, etc., etc.). It takes an outstanding tool like this, a Shopsmith, a top-notch router table, or something equally remarkable for me to stop using it long enough to write about it.

It's ok. They should have put more thought into the placement of the bolts or added reinforcing brackets.
It's great for storing your clamps and other tools, glue, etc... However, the designers should have paid more attention in the placement of the bolts. When you put this thing together, you're going to have a hard time trying to ratchet the bolts in tight enough so the cart remains rigid. The layout of the bolt holes is arranged in such a way that the spacing makes it difficult to tighten. When you start adding more stuff to the cart such as clamps, it makes it top heavy. As a result, there is a tendency for the cart to go crooked. What they should have done was to add some sort of brackets to the bottom corners to make it more rigid. Simply relying on the friction of the bolts in not enough given the weight and the fact that it gets moved around a lot.

Pack Rck a Real Space Saver
I used to have clamps hanging from walls where I'd have to move tools on casters out of the way to access them. I saw some interesting mobile clamp rack photos in some articles and started pricing components. I quickly became clear the Pack Rack was less expensive than the sum of the individual components and I placed my order. It arrived as promised and is now loaded up with every clamp I own. It is easy to move out of the way and easy to move to an assembly station when I need ready access to the clamps it holds. This has been a very worthwhile investment, both in terms of saved money and, more important, saved time.

Should Have Bought This Sooner!
I considered designing and building my own rolling clamp rack; but, also came to the conclusion that, from a cost perspective, it made more sense to purchase the Pack Rack from Rockler. My Pack Rack arrived promptly and took just a couple hours to assemble and adjust — the instructions were clear and in logical order. Expect to spend a bit of time during the "squaring up" process; but, once the final bolt is tightened you will have an extremely solid clamp rack mounted on smoothly rolling casters with securely locking brakes. I have my rack fully loaded with Pony clamps (3/4" pipe, 50-inchs long) and I've been very impressed with how easily it rolls with that heavy load and how well the caster brakes hold it in position when engaged. I would recommend ordering an extra set or two of the shelf supports to create even more storage capacity in the interior space. This is a well made, very solid, shop accessory — you won't be disappointed!

I received my Pack Rack promptly...
I received my Pack Rack promptly from Rockler. The package was very heavy! I was able to follow the clear directions in the package and assembled the rack in a fairly short amount of time. One word of caution: Make sure you put the bolts and nuts for the initial part of the assembly in the correct hole shown. They are close together at the corners and you will have trouble tightening them if you attach them in the wrong order. I know I did it wrong the first time! Also, resist the urge to start hanging clamps on the rack before you have all the bolts and nuts in place. With only one bolt at each connection point the rack won't hold the clamps and the rack will go askew. Guess how I know! I only had one other issue that was resolved promptly by Rockler. One of the locking caster pedals had broken off in shipment. I called Rocker and they apologized and said they would send a replacement. I appreciated the no hassle problem solving. Believe the other positive ratings of this rack. It is a great addition to my shop.

I am a classic do it...
I am a classic do it your self guy. First time I laid eyes on this I knew I needed one and thought, now I can make that.I priced out all the parts from local home improvement and quickly decided to order the real thing. It was so easy to put together, nice paint finish and well thought out arrangement. I bought the long clamp rods and found out that some of my clamps were too long to mount the normal way. No problem I just turned them upside down, clamped them to the lowest rod, installed a small bungee to secure the clamp rod at the top and all is well. Feels good to reach for a clamp and be able to find the one I need. I have been thinking of buying another and put shelves on every clamp rod just to have all my small items close at hand.

My unit did not go together...
My unit did not go together well and the holes did not line up. Very frustrating after pulling everything out of the box. Had I bought it at the store I would have brought it back. I will likely bore out the poorly fit bars because the size and pictures of it in use seem worth the effort vs. repacking and sending back.Sturdy material and wheels. Seems to be a flexible and stout unit.

This rating is in regard to assembly: The directions that came in the box were terrible! The updated, on-line directions are the only ones to use.The product seems pretty good.
