Build a quote-ready modular rack request

Pick the major rack decisions and watch it become a configuration code, a live drawing, engineering review flags, and a summary your supplier can quote from. It turns a static product PDF into a guided buyer flow, before sales or engineering gets involved.

Demo boundary: the dimensions, codes, and figures here are neutral, illustrative examples used to show how the flow works, not a specific manufacturer's product data. This tool prepares a quote request and a preliminary configuration only. Final structural review, anchoring, wind and seismic checks, load verification, and site-specific engineering happen after submission with a qualified engineer. In a version branded for a business, the placeholder logic is replaced with that company's own product series and engineer-verified data.

Demo boundary: this tool prepares a quote request and preliminary configuration. The configuration code and figures are illustrative examples, not a specific product. Final structural review, anchoring, wind/seismic checks, load verification, and site-specific engineering happen after submission. On our public demo the quote form does not send anywhere; on a branded build it routes the request straight to that company.

How to build a quote-ready modular rack request

Choose the application and the duty class the rack is built for.

Set the overall dimensions and the number and spacing of receiver or shelf levels.

Choose the finish, the environment, any roof or enclosure, and the mounting method.

Review the engineering flags, then copy the configuration code and quote-ready summary to send to a supplier.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to spec a modular rack?

Typically the application and duty class, the overall dimensions, the number and spacing of receiver or shelf levels, the finish, the environment (indoor, outdoor, corrosive, coastal), any roof or enclosure, and the mounting method. This configurator walks through each and assembles them into a configuration code and a quote-ready summary.

What is a rack configuration code?

A configuration code is a short string that encodes your selections (application, duty, size, levels, finish, mounting) so a manufacturer's sales or engineering team can reproduce your exact configuration and quote it without a back-and-forth. This demo generates one from your inputs.

What does duty class mean for an industrial rack?

Duty class describes the load and service severity the rack is built for, from light-duty storage to heavy industrial or seismic. It drives material, gauge, welds, and bracing. In a branded version, the duty classes and their limits are the manufacturer's own published ratings.

Are the loads and dimensions in this tool real?

No. This is a demonstration with illustrative engineering placeholders, not a specific manufacturer's product data. It shows how a complex product can be configured and quoted online. Final sizing, load ratings, and compliance must come from the manufacturer's engineering and published tables. A branded version runs on that company's real data.

Can this be branded for our rack or support product line?

Yes. The same configurator can be built around your product series and part logic, your finishes and load tables, and your quote workflow, so a buyer's request routes straight to you instead of a back-and-forth your team has to chase.
