What is the load capacity of the Vestil Slab Transport Rack?
Both models are rated at 4,000 lb. The capacity is identical for the stationary STR-S-9764-4 and the caster-equipped STR-M-9764-4-CK1, so the decision between them comes down to mobility rather than load rating. The 4,000 lb figure is the total for the rack, so add up the weight of everything you plan to load at one time.
What is the difference between the two models?
One is stationary and one has casters. The STR-S-9764-4 is the stationary version at $2,061.92. The STR-M-9764-4-CK1 is the same 97"×64" rack supplied with casters at $2,329.75. Both are rated at 4,000 lb and share the same size, so the $267.83 difference buys the caster kit and the ability to roll the rack.
What size is the rack, and will it fit my space?
The listed size is 97"×64". Measure your aisle, doorway, truck bed, or storage bay against those figures before ordering, and allow clearance for the material you are carrying, which may overhang the rack. If you are choosing the caster model, also allow for the turning room a rolling rack needs in a tight aisle.
Does the rack need power, air, or hydraulics?
No. This is a non-powered rack with no electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic requirement, so there is nothing to plug in or connect. The stationary model stays where you place it and is repositioned with lifting equipment you supply. The caster model is moved manually by pushing it on its casters. Loading and unloading is done with your own handling equipment.
Who is this rack for, and when is it not the right choice?
It suits shops moving or storing slab material within a 4,000 lb load and a 97"×64" footprint. It is not the right choice if your loads are heavier than 4,000 lb or larger than that footprint, or if you need a powered or self-propelled unit. If you need mobility, order the caster model rather than adding casters later.
Where is it made, and what warranty comes with it?
It is made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carries a 1-Year Limited warranty. Two models are offered in this series, priced from $2,061.92 to $2,329.75. Beyond that, we do not publish separate figures for lead time or freight on this page, so confirm those before ordering if your schedule or delivery site has constraints.
