Looking for a rack that will hold and lock 6 or so rigs

[Harksaw 0]

Are these available commercially anywhere? Or are they all homemade?


Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Do you want the rack to be fixed to a wall or on a movable cart?

We have two, at our DZ. They were both made by local welders to our specs. They're on wheels and work quite well. As I recall, they weren't outragously high priced, either. Contact a welder in your area and see what you can work out.

We used wood and then pipe flanges and pieces that were threaded. As much as I prefer to work in metal, wood was just significantly cheaper to use.

Sounds like a good set-up. We 'lucked-out'. One of our jumpers, who is a welder, built them and 'donated' them to the DZ. The type you suggest sounds in-expensive and quite good.

Al the rig racks I have seen were welded, screwed, glued, etc. by local craftsmen.
I can send you sketches of several rig racks I have worked with at various DZs.
I am picturing something with 2 inch diameter steel tubes with chains and locks hanging out the ends of the tubes.

If you want one on the wall see here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=834406#834406 for a nice easy example. It would have been easy to have included a chain locking system during the construction if you wanted one.

(edit: a brief description of it's construction is 2 posts down)
