FTR-C-234 Battery Flow Through Racks

FTR-C-234 Battery Flow Through Racks provide storage and handling for industrial batteries used in forklift fleets and material handling operations. These racks organize batteries in a flow-through configuration that moves batteries through the rack in a controlled sequence, supporting battery rotation and maximizing floor space in battery rooms and charging areas. The structured storage positions make batteries easier to locate, access, and manage compared to storing batteries individually throughout the battery room.

The flow-through design is suited for facilities operating multiple lift trucks with a fleet of replacement batteries. Designated storage positions create an organized workflow between discharged batteries, charging positions, and batteries ready to return to service. This organization reduces congestion around battery changing and charging equipment and improves battery room productivity, particularly in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, cold storage facilities, and operations running multiple shifts or large fleets of electric forklifts.

The FTR-C-234 is engineered for the weight and handling requirements of industrial motive-power batteries. The rack construction supports the loads associated with battery storage and allows batteries to be transferred using compatible battery handling equipment. Individual battery positions provide a structured arrangement while maintaining access for battery transfer equipment throughout the changing and charging process.

Battery Flow Through Racks can be incorporated into a new battery handling area or used to improve an existing battery room layout. When selecting a rack, important considerations include battery dimensions, battery weight, the number of batteries being stored, available floor space, and the type of battery transfer equipment in use. Contact us with your battery specifications and application requirements, and we can help determine the right Battery Flow Through Rack configuration for your operation.

FAQs about Material Handling Equipment

What are the key benefits of using portable, stackable window/door/millwork racks over fixed shelving or floor stacking?

Maximized space utilization — because racks stack vertically and can be nested when empty, they allow efficient use of both floor space and vertical clear height.
Flexibility and reconfigurability — unlike fixed pallet racks, these portable rackscan be moved, reassembled, or re-stacked as needed depending on inventory, seasonal demand, or layout changes.
Reduced product damage and waste — structured storage protects fragile materials such as glass windows, doors, and millwork from impacts, shifting, and crushing.
Lower handling time and labor costs — by enabling forklift or pallet-jack transport and easier loading/unloading, they simplify material flow and reduce manual handling.
Reusable and long-lasting — constructed from steel and built for durability, these racks can serve for many seasons or years, offering a cost-effective alternative to disposable crates or wooden pallets.

Are these racks suitable for warehouse storage, shipping, and job-site deliveries?

Yes, these racks are designed for both warehouse storage and shipping or transport to job sites. Their stackable design helps you “cube out” trailers or flatbeds, maximizing the number of windows/doors per load and lowering transport costs.

When equipped with optional casters, racks can be rolled on or off trucks or around job sites. They are also forklift-compatible (with four-way entry), so warehouses can handle them with usual material-handling equipment rather than manual labor.

How do these racks improve handling and reduce damage compared to traditional storage?

Because these stack racks are designed specifically for windows, doors, and millwork, they provide structured, stable support — items are kept upright or organized so they don’t shift, slide, or collide during storage or transport.

This significantly reduces the risk of damage (e.g., glass breakage, dents, warping, or scratches) compared to bulk-stacking or floor-laying, which often leads to product loss or costly rework.

Also, using a purpose-built rack simplifies loading, unloading, and staging, improving warehouse safety and reducing handling labor.

What configurations and options are available for casters, stacking, or portability?

Our window/door/millwork stack racks are offered with or without heavy-duty 6″ casters (typically a set of two rigid casters and two swivel casters with locks). This provides flexibility depending on whether you need to roll the rack or move it with a forklift.

They are fully stackable, allowing multiple racks to be stacked one on top of another when loaded or nested together when empty, which helps save floor space.

The racks are built with sturdy steel side rails, welded frames or bolt-on beams (depending on model), and optional decking or tie-off points, which let you tailor each rack to your load size and handling needs.

What are window, door & millwork stack racks used for?

These racks are specially engineered to store, transport, and protect long, fragile, or bulky items such as windows, doors, millwork, and similar building components. Popular with window and door manufacturers, stocking distributors, dealers and retailers. They help prevent damage such as cracking, bending, or warping, which can happen when windows and doors are laid flat or stacked loosely.

Because they are portable and stackable, these racks allow you to transport materials from the warehouse to the jobsite, or move them around within a facility, with much less risk and handling.

Brad and his team were great to work with on a recent project. Brad and his design team are top notch and the delivered product on-time and installed in record time. The shelves look great on our plant floor. Absolutely will look to Brad and his team on the next project. Highly recommend them!

Nicholas Czar

I worked with Brad and his team on an overhaul of our fabrics warehouse. They were able to fabricate custom sized decking for our unique shelving system and make adjustment to the design as issues were discovered. The whole process was very customer oriented and I'd be happy to use them again
