​NEW Plastic Wine Barrel Racks

Reduce rack maintenance and barrel damage with our sanitary and durable Rack-Master™ plastic wine barrel racks. Unparalleled impact strength, compatibility with existing barrel rack systems and a warranty offering twice the coverage of the nearest competitor, results in a thoughtfully designed solution for your barrel rack needs. Great for wineries, breweries and distilleries - they are especially ideal for tasting rooms!

All heavy-duty plastic construction

The unique, one-piece HDPE plastic construction is sanitary, safe for both hot and cold temperatures, and easy to clean. It provides complete corrosion resistance and a gentle, smooth surface texture to protect your expensive oak barrels and your floors from handling damage. Purposefully designed without sharp corners, this rack also reduces the chance of related accidental damages and improves worker safety.

Superior impact strength

Rack-Master also offers unparalleled impact strength (no welds) to ensure safer earthquake scenarios with significantly less chance of tipping and damage. The strength of the rack design also resists the rusting, denting and paint chipping (and associated maintenance costs) so prevalent with steel racks.

Versatility

The Rack-Master design is also extremely versatile in that every dimension is carefully crafted to accommodate the most popular barrel handling and washing equipment. It is also stacking compatible with existing steel barrel rack systems, making the switch to Rack-Master a seamless change for your operations.

Key specifications

• Available in 2-barrel or 4-barrel configurations
• Bung access point for easy access for stirring / sampling while stacked
• Stackable and pallet jack accessible
• 7" forklift channels optimize handling and clearance between stacked barrels

Exceptional warranty protection

This proven durability is backed by the industry’s best warranty protection – a 2-year warranty -- offering twice the coverage of the nearest competitor.

Seismic Testing

Seismic testing at UC Berkeley’s Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) in early March 2015 confirmed these 2 barrel plastic racks passed 125% of the Napa quake’s energy at the epicenter with barrels stacked 6 high. “We actually would have passed at a 150% or higher on the Loma Prieta earthquake test, but we neglected to rotate the bottom rack, which had sustained some damage after being exposed to five other tests prior,” said Jones.
