Abstract
A collapsible and stackable pallet rack is provided for shipping and storing heavy roll goods having a central mandrel. The rack includes two pairs of adjacent and opposite upright corner posts being foldable inwardly and downwardly. Two side bars connect together the pair of opposite upright corner posts. There are also two pairs of upper and lower end bars. Each pair of end bars connect together one pair of adjacent upright corner posts. On top of each upper end bar, there is one cradle positioned centrally thereon for receiving one end of the central mandrel. A holddown plate is fastened on top of each cradle. Two pairs of hinge plates connect the two pairs of corner posts with the two side bars. This rack provides a shipping unit that prevents damage to heavy roll goods during transit and simultaneously provides a cost-effective stackable storage unit.
