    Shelves for BIG 3 wheeler toys

    I’m still trying to get my shop put together and thought I do something to clean it up, or at least find the floor. I have crap everywhere in my shop so I decided to buy 2 sets of pallet racks. I thought I could use them to put my toys on and clear up some floor space. They weren’t cheap but they sure are nice. Each one is 10’ long and 10’ high. I need to buy 2 more for the other wall for some of my other toys. (What I should have done is went to Home Depot to ask if they had any used ones that they wanted to sell) They have wire decks and are rated for 4,400 lbs. per shelve.

    What do you guys think?

    Very very very nice. Looks AWESOME! I like it alot, but how do you get the units up and down? Do you have a fork truck or something?

    I have a shelf unit that currently holds 6 or 7 little guys (110s, 70s, Zingers), but it is only one level high and I can use my truck ramps to push my trikes up and down from them.

    how do you get them down?

    I was thinking of something similar in my garage but much smaller.

    Nice rare trikes you got there.

    I like it alot...Wish home depot had those on their racks to purchase with the home depot credit card!!!!!!!!!!.I bought a bunch of old home depot racks at a flea market a few years back $1.00 each beam and 20.00 each end .....not as high as those but you could stack by bolting them.
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    I used my Bobcat with pallet forks on them. I made a pallet long enough and wide enough to put the 3 wheeler on and lift it up to the rack and slide onto the rack. They rack really work awesome. Only took and hour to set up. Reminds me of a Hot Wheels car carrier or something.

    Top shelf center and right: are the Franks 3 wheeler and 4 wheeler I bought 6 months ago. Center shelf right: is my Nicholson 500X. Its the one I bought in December. There some more photo's of it here search: Nicholson

    When I get the other shelves up I'll show you guys some of my other 3 wheelers .
