Hanging pipe rack for shipping container – 4 shelves

The pipe hanging rack for shipping container is a specially designed racking system that uses tubular structures to store and organize items. This type of hanging pipe rack is made of steel pipes and pins that are interconnected to create a hanging system. Pipe racks have a high load capacity, are durable with a long service life.

What is a hanging pipe rack for shipping container?

Hanging pipe rack for shipping container is a specialized, modular storage system designed for efficient use of the internal space of marine (ISO) containers. It is designed to be hung on lashing points         (lashing points), which are standardly located in the walls and ceiling of the container. This eliminates the need for any drilling, screwing, welding or other permanent interventions in the container structure. This system allows for quick and repeatable installation, suitable for both temporary and long-term storage.

Unique benefits of hanging pipe racks:

1. Preservation of the structural integrity of the container: The rack does not require any intervention in the shell or frame of the container, which is crucial especially for rented or new containers, where any modification could reduce the value.
2. High load capacity: The standard load capacity is 125 kg per arm, but some models allow even higher loads up to 250 kg per 2 consoles (arms).
3. Easy handling: The low weight of individual parts (approx. 3.8 kg per arm) allows quick assembly by one person without the need for cranes or other heavy equipment.
4. Flexibility: The possibility of transferring and repeated installation in different containers according to current needs.

This type of rack is now standard on construction sites, in mobile workshops, crisis warehouses, archival container solutions and other logistics industries.

Specifications of the pipe rack

• load capacity 125 kg per console arm
• load capacity per set of 2 pipe racks – 250 kg
• weight of one arm 3.8 kg
• easy assembly without welding or complicated assembly. Just hang it on the eye in the container!

Load capacity of the stand for individual pipes:

– uniform load capacity per 1 pipe: 31 kg / per pipe (x 4 rows)

– the load capacity of 1 used pipe out of 4 total (when the remaining 3 pipes are not loaded) can reach up to: 85 kg

Key features and technical specifications

Load Capacity

Load capacity is one of the most important parameters that the user must monitor:

• Load capacity per arm: Pipe hanging racks have a load capacity of 125 kg per arm. This value applies when the load is evenly distributed.
• Load capacity per bracket (console): The entire hanging console is usually dimensioned for 250 kg, which is the sum of the load capacities of all arms on one console.
• Practical note: Make sure that neither the load capacity of individual arms nor the total load capacity of the console is exceeded. If you plan to store heavy items, it is recommended to distribute them over multiple consoles.

Weight and Handling

• Low weight: The typical weight of one arm is only approx. 3.8 kg, which means that the rack can be installed by one person.
• Practical packaging: For example, a package with 3 pieces of hanging racks has dimensions of 160 x 50 x 20 cm and can be delivered by a regular transport service.
• Easy assembly: Installation consists of hooking the console hooks into the lashing eyes of the container and attaching the arms. No screws, nuts or special tools are needed.

Installation method: Hanging system

• Without damage: The assembly is non-invasive, no drilling or welding is required.
• Quick and easy installation: It only takes a few minutes and anyone can do it without expert knowledge.
• Modularity: You can disassemble, move or add more racks to the system at any time.
• Compatibility: Suitable for standard 20ft and 40ft containers and for non-standard dimensions (however, it is necessary to verify the spacing of the lashing eyes).

Material and surface treatment

• Construction material: High-quality steel pipes and profiles ensure high strength and long service life.
• Surface treatment: Most often galvanizing (zinc plating) or powder coating. Zinc is suitable for humid areas where there is a risk of condensation or occasional flooding.
• Resistance: The surface treatment protects against corrosion, which is essential in the environment of shipping containers, where fluctuating humidity is common.

Transport of the pipe rack

Dimensions and packaging

• Typical packaging dimension: 160 x 50 x 20 (3 pcs in the package).
• Possibility to send even one piece: For smaller projects. The package size remains the same.
• The price is for one piece. Wooden shelves are not included in the price!
• we ship by transport courier service.
• price for transport according to the ordered quantity and destination.
• delivery possible only within Europe

Purpose and main advantages

Hanging pipe racks bring several fundamental benefits compared to other storage systems in containers:

• Space optimization: Thanks to the suspension, the entire height of the container can be used and more storage levels can be created.
• Protection against moisture and damage: The stored material is higher above the floor, which protects against condensate, minor flooding and damage during handling.
• Mobility: The racks can be easily moved at any time, which is great for short-term projects or mobile warehouses.
• Installation speed: Also suitable for urgent needs, assembly takes only a few minutes.
• Safety: The suspended system is stable even when the container is moving (e.g. during transport), there is no risk of the shelf tipping over as with free-standing racks.
• Easy maintenance and accessibility: Storage in several levels allows better overview and faster access to goods.

Shipping container context

• Shipping Container: Standard transport unit made of corten steel, dimensions 20ft (6.058 × 2.438 × 2.591 m) and 40ft (12.192 × 2.438 × 2.591 m).
• Lashing Points: Fixed points for hanging racks, usually welded inside the container on the top and bottom edges of the walls.
• Compatibility: The racks are designed for the spacing and cross-section of standard eyes; before purchasing, verify compatibility with your container.

Industries and examples of use

Practical examples

• Construction site – Mobile warehouses of materials, tools and small equipment directly on the construction site.
• Mobile workshops – Craftsmen use containers as portable workshops, where racks are used to clearly store tools and components.
• Archiving – Storage spaces for documents that must be protected from moisture and easily accessible.
• E-shops and small businesses – Storage of goods in rented or own containers in parking lots, yards or premises.
• Agriculture – Storage of feed, seeds, tools and seasonal needs.
• Sports and leisure facilities – Storage of large sports equipment (skis, bicycles, boats).

Practical advice

• Check the condition of the lashing eyes before installation: Damaged or rusty eyes can reduce load capacity and safety.
• Do not overload individual arms or consoles: Optimally distribute heavier items between multiple racks.
• Humidity and ventilation: Regularly check the condition of the shelves, especially if you are using wood, and consider using dehumidifiers or fans.

This pipe rack can be used to store a variety of items such as clothing, textiles, shoes, electronics or other goods that can be hung or suspended. Thanks to the hanging system, you can easily organize items and create an interior space with a multi-level layout.
