This harp rack is a great solution for glass storage. It comes with 60 long and short plastic covered rods, which let you easily slide glass in and out of the rack while protecting it. There are 80 possible hole locations for the rods. For monolithic glass, when rods are placed in every hole, the spacing is 7/16″. For IG units, when a hole is skipped, the spacing is 1-5/16″. The rack has a width of 80' and a depth of 48'. It features a gray powder coated finish. The floor uses low-friction, high-density Polyethylene, making it easy to slide glass and providing a non-stick surface for insulated glass. The bottom surface is un-grooved, offering maximum rod spacing flexibility. The load height is 60' and the load depth is 45', allowing for proper operation of foot locks. It ships knocked down to save on freight costs. It also includes 4 non-marking swivel casters, each rated at 1000 lbs. capacity, and two-foot locks are mounted in the front for stability.

Using this harp rack is easy. First, place the rack in a suitable location. You can adjust the rods according to whether you're storing monolithic glass or IG units. For monolithic glass, fill every hole with a rod; for IG units, skip a hole between each rod. Then, slide your glass in and out of the rack gently, taking advantage of the plastic covered rods and the low - friction floor. When using, make sure the load height and depth are within the specified limits (60' height and 45' depth) so the foot locks work properly. Regarding maintenance, keep the rack clean. You can wipe it down with a soft cloth. If the powder - coated finish gets scratched, touch it up to prevent rusting. Also, check the swivel casters regularly for any signs of wear. Remember, this product contains chemicals that can be harmful, so follow the warning information on www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
