ABSTRACT:
A rack for shipping a set of objects such as vehicle hoods comprises a base, two folding sides, a folding bumper, and several sets of pivotable clamps attached to the sides. The rack is employed by unfolding the sides to the upstanding, spaced-apart position, and loading the objects one at a time onto a set of clamps pivoted to the operative position from a storage position. As each object is put in position, the next set of clamps is pivoted into the operative position and loaded with the next object. The clamps are tightened and loosened by turning a bolt on each one with an air wrench. Pivotable clamps enable closer nesting of the objects. The bumper separates adjacent racks so the objects held by them do not interfere.
