Product Overview
The Nestainer Rack, also known as a Nestainer Storage Rack or Nesting Rack, is an industrial storage solution designed for warehouses, logistics centers, and returnable packaging systems. Unlike conventional storage racks, Nestainer racks are engineered to nest together when empty, dramatically reducing the storage space required for empty units and lowering transportation costs. When loaded, they can be securely stacked to maximize vertical storage capacity while providing safe handling with forklifts. This combination of space efficiency, durability, and operational flexibility makes Nestainer racks an ideal solution for modern warehouse and supply chain operations.
Manufactured from high-strength steel and finished with an electrostatic powder coating, these racks protect goods from rough handling during transportation and storage. They combine high load-bearing capacity, ease of forklift handling, and long-term reusability, making them widely used in industries such as automotive parts, machinery manufacturing, logistics and distribution, metal processing, food processing, and supply chain warehousing.
Applications
✅ Nestainer racks can be stacked 4–5 high, helping you make efficient use of overhead space.
✅ They are compatible with manual hydraulic pallet jacks and forklifts for quick cargo handling and easy access.
✅ The stackable racks feature an integrated locking mechanism to prevent tipping, ensuring greater safety.
✅ They offer exceptional load-bearing capacity, with each shelf capable of supporting hundreds of pounds.
✅ The racks are welded, requiring no bolts or nuts for assembly, allowing for quick installation and a stable structure.
Our Products
The upright nestainer rack can be used with or without pallets. Goods are placed on the bottom nesting rack, and you can use a forklift to move the racks for quick turnover of goods. They can also be stacked vertically, helping you achieve high-density storage and retrieval.
The inverted nestainer rack must be used with pallets. A single inverted nesting rack can accommodate two pallets, one on top of the other. Goods are placed on the bottom pallet for access via forklift, and the racks can be stacked vertically to help you improve warehouse utilization and reduce costs.
Galvanized nestainer racks feature a hot-dip galvanized finish that provides excellent protection, helping to reduce damage caused by corrosion, moisture, and harsh environments. Like standard Nesttainer racks, they can be nested when empty to save storage space and safely stacked when loaded to maximize warehouse utilization.

With our extensive experience in nestainer racking export logistics, we can help you plan the optimal number of warehouses and container loads to reduce your operating costs.
Comparison
The Nestainer Rack features a nestable design. When empty, multiple racks can be nested inside one another, significantly reducing the space occupied by idle racks. When fully loaded, they can be stacked 3–5 layers high, offering high warehouse storage efficiency and a high container loading rate, making them ideal for warehouses with high-turnover, high-density storage.
The Stacking Rack features either an insert-type upright or a foldable side rail design. When empty, multiple racks can be stacked more than 20 layers high; when fully loaded, they can be stacked 3–5 layers high. This design offers high warehouse efficiency and a higher container loading capacity than the Nestable Rack, resulting in lower transportation costs and helping you significantly reduce procurement costs.
The Upright Type uses a traditional placement method, featuring a stable structure and intuitive operation. It facilitates forklift loading and unloading as well as multi-level stacking, making it suitable for long-term storage and high-load applications.
The inverted type optimizes the frame orientation and nesting structure to improve pallet compatibility, allowing empty racks to nest deeper into one another. This reduces the number of nesting racks required while achieving the same storage capacity as the upright type, resulting in lower procurement costs compared to the upright type.

Got Questions?
Yes. Nestainer rack units are designed to be stacked vertically while loaded, helping warehouses make more efficient use of existing vertical space. The allowable stacking height depends on the weight of the cargo and forklift operating conditions; each level can support 1,200 kg and can be stacked 3 to 5 levels high.
Yes. One of the main advantages of the Nestainer rack is its nesting capability. When empty, multiple rack units can be nested inside one another, significantly reducing the floor space required to store empty racks. This feature also helps you reduce shipping volume and improve warehouse space utilization.
Yes. SDREX’s Nestainer rack can be designed with forklift access points tailored to your forklift model, fork size, lifting requirements, and warehouse layout, helping you move goods and rearrange your storage layout.
Nestainer racks are suitable for a wide range of industrial products, including automotive parts, metal parts, mechanical components, containers, tires, packaged goods, and other large items. The rack configuration can be customized based on the size, weight, shape, and storage requirements of your products.
When selecting a Nesttainer rack, consider the size and weight of the products to be stored, the required load capacity, stacking height, nesting requirements, available warehouse space, forklift type, and operating environment. Based on this information, we can recommend the dimensions, structure, and configuration that best suit your storage needs and design a professional warehousing solution for you.
