ABSTRACT:
A rack system is provided for storing a plurality of elongated pieces, such as bar stock, rods, shafts, and angle iron. The rack includes a frame with a front, a back, and opposite ends. A plurality of compartments extend horizontally and diagonally within the frame. Each compartment is designed to store one or more identical pieces in a horizontal orientation such that the pieces are horizontally slideable from their respective compartments into an area forward of the front of the frame. The diagonal orientation of the compartments with respect to the frame allows a piece having a length greater than the width or depth of the frame to be stored in the compartments. A plurality of diagonally oriented walls may also be provided within the frame to define enlarged slots for receiving sheet metal and the like. A triangular-shaped storage area is provided behind the columns of compartments.
