Triton wood rack - sale, any have use it?

[Red88chevy]

Got an email flyer last night with the Trition wood rack marked down from $69 to $49. It looks heavy duty, does anyone have any experience with it? Woodcraft also has a $15 off $50 sale through 8/31, if you add something small to the order you can push it over the $50 limit, I tried it and it works to cover shipping and a little more.

I was looking at that, but went instead with some braces from Menards. They were like $3 on sale each and had a 1000lbs capacity. That along with some concrete anchors and it was all I needed. 4 tiers cost less than $30 total to build....

At Home Depot they have a similar rack system (all pieces sold separately), thats what I bought. I used three supports instead of just the two end brackets like the WoodCraft email showed on the Triton. All things given, I like the set-up.


Now I just need some decent wood to store on them.

$56 with free shipping at amazon now, it was $40 on weekend sale last month.
Triton is 110lbs capacity per EACH level of supports.

I just put one up in my shed and it was a no brainer to assemble and mount. I drilled out the mount holes just slightly to clearance for 1/4" lag bolts instead of #12 wood screws suggested. It is loaded with 8 foot long pine T&G and a Sears Router Crafter on top.

I have a second one from amazon I may use outdoors on the shed wall.

I also finished installing the Lee Valley/Hartville heavy duty adjustable wood rack in the garage/shop. It was a little more work to install and level, but I used far more fasteners and it has far more capacity. It is suspending wood over a car so I didn't want to take any chances. It was costly but I have more confidence I can load it than the home depot supports. It also holds more since there are no diagonal suppports under each support arm. This was important to me with my limited space.

And as I said, the braces I used can hold 1,000 lbs/ per support- which means they're stronger. They aren't adjustable, but they'll rip from the basement wall before they bend/ fail.

Doug- How much did that system cost? I think that may be a good way to go if I find that I need something adjustable....

Thanks everyone for the replies and the pictures of your systems. After seeing these I need to do more looking around at the choices.

not real positive, (short term memory) but I'm almost sure it was less than $60 and no shipping expense.

These things are rated better than the Triton system but not quite as good as the 1000lbs mentioned above. The brackets are fully adjustable to height, there are various size brackets (two sizes shown in the picture). I like them enough that should I ever move they will come down off the wall and go with me.

Had mine for several years - your price sounds great!

Lag bolts into studs - I've tried swinging on one of the arms - no problem.

Lot more stuff on mine than when I took this pic.
