78" Single Sided A Frame Rack
This single sided a frame rack measures 78" x 26" x 56" and is a practical and effective piece of transport equipment. Whether you use it in an install van and box truck or up against a wall in the shop, its design will save space and allow for other equipment.
This single sided rack is merely 26" wide and this allows for additional install equipment when it is used inside of a box truck or install van. On the other hand, that narrow width means two of these racks can be placed back-to-back and stationed between two work machines. Or, they can be placed on a wall in the shop.
Additional Features
In addition to the perfect width of this rack, it is hot-dip galvanized for protection against corrosion. As a result, the inside of the rack is coated as well as the outside. Furthermore, the rack is equipped with forklift receivers that allow for it to be easily ported from one place to another. The replaceable rubber that comes standard on the fixture means the rack can be easily maintained as the protective rubber wears out. Finally, the 4 uprights sport tie down straps to firmly affix the stone material to the rack for securing slabs.

- Most Economical: Galvanized steel is often the least expensive initial choice. As other labour intensive coatings have risen in rates, galvanizing has maintained a consistent price-point. Moreover, it lasts longer and requires less maintenance, making it the most cost effective, long-term option.
- Maintenance-free: Galvanizing provides maintenance-free corrosion protection, unlike other protective coatings. This mitigates long-term costs, hassles and disruptions to production.
- Longest Lifespan: Galvanized coatings on typical structural members have a life expectancy in excess of 100 years.
- Most Durable: A galvanized coating has a unique metallurgical structure, providing outstanding resistance to damage during transport, erection and service.
- Most Reliable Performance: Galvanizing is carried out to ASTM A123 and standard, minimum coating thicknesses are applied. Coating life and performance are reliable and predictable as it’s performance is based on the known corrosion rate of zinc. Galvanized steel provides a thick, complete and easily inspected coating.
- Most Protection: Galvanizing protects every part of a structure, including recesses, sharp corners and inaccessible areas. Galvanized coatings also provide cathodic or sacrificial protection to small areas of steel that are exposed due to damage. Unlike other coating options, small damaged areas are automatically protected and don’t require touch-ups due to zinc’s sacrificial nature.
- Environmental Sustainability: Zinc, like steel, is a natural substance that is recyclable.
