For a high-capacity rack, the superior strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensures long-term structural integrity and safety. 10. Is this rack safe to place permanently in a cooler? Absolutely. The stainless steel construction is ideal for the cold, high-humidity environment of a walk-in cooler.

Ensure your floor is rated for the rack's total potential weight. 12. Is the ceiling height of my facility important for this model? Yes, critically important. We recommend a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet (108 inches) to allow for safe use of the top tier with a body lift. 13. Can one person assemble this 5-tier rack?
