Would work great in my shop, on my press carts as well as our storage shelves which we store on now. This would keep everything nice and tightly organized. Even having this next to squeegee cleaning station would be nice. I'll be in long beach to place an order for sure. I dig it

Hi Eric - What I have in mind is that you first buy a shelf with many levels like seen here at our shop. We got these at Global Industrial for around $100 each. We painted them ourselves.

Fantastic Danny. I do look forward to seeing you there.

We have our best display ever. In fact - for the first time - we have an island. We also made a faux 6 station machine to demonstrate our various Specialty Application Pallets.

You could make it wall mountable pretty easy... Buy some rectangular steel tube and cut the opening and just leave the bottom 1" solid. The solid part would be at the bottom to keep them from falling out.

Could work nice!

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...

I can dig it.

 What if it had a pinch point at one end, to stop it from sliding out the other end, so you could hang it vertically attached to a wall. This way it drip dries, & is less likely to build up water and chemicals sitting in the bottom of the rack.

We will be in LB as well. See you there.

Definitely wall mountable to save space.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Right on. That`s what we`ve used as we built our racks for squeegees and floodbars. Took around 10 minutes and as floorspace comes at a premium rate in my part of the world they needed to go on the wall. And yes they are dirt cheap.
