Pouet Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I don't see the point of using this outside of a van. I would build some kind of sysport (https://goo.gl/images/A5Nzxu) instead if I was working from my shop. The rack is better in a van because it is lightweight and takes no space when you are not using it but I see no reason to use it in a shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure when they show up on HomeDepot.com , some idiot will install them in a van and rate it one star and tell folks why it was unsatisfactory for the job. There was another thread: that mentioned them with pictures, and a description of the differences in the brackets (on page 2). From what it sounds like the brackets are lighter because they won't be moving like on the trolley/ hand truck and taking abuse. I also think the vertical tubes come in multiple pieces instead of one piece tubes (it makes it easier and cheaper to ship with a 2 1/2 foot box instead of one 5 feet long. So the strength would be compromised there too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would brake loose in a accident and come flying forward and hit the driver or passenger they don't want the liability and dodge the lawsuit.

Logan Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I could see them working well in a job trailer even though they are not vehicle rated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought about using them for inside my bedroom closet since I like to keep my batteries inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overanalyze Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I know I have posted it before but we just use 2 10" heavy duty angle brackets. We screwed them right to a piece of 3/4" osb in our van. Welded a tab to keep the boxes in place. Cheap and heavy duty. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 is it possible for the side handles to open up just enough to where the box could vibrate off of the rack during travel in a van or trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the handles would open at all with the springs holding them in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
