Any recommendations on shelving for 10 24v 100ah batteries

[thedman]

I now have a bunch of these, and at first having them sit on the floor was fine, I'm really trying to search for a much more elegant and sturdy want to store them. As there are a lot (10) the weight is heavy.

Ideally, the storage could at some point be portable, as I'd love to be able to pull these with the all-in-one inverter system over from the workshop they power to our main house to use as a grid-down, backup generator and not have to use the LP Generator we have.

But first priority would be to get them stack onto something three or four across and then go up vertically.

Any suggestions? (or pointer to a better sub-forum to post the request into?)

That's a big ask but anything is doable with enough money and time.

How many lbs. each?

There's a big selection of wire shelving out there for less $100. Some of them have 4 or 5 shelves with a rating of 1000lbs per shelf.

However I don't think I'd trust them with more than 400 lbs. per shelf and I certainly wouldn't try to roll it with much load on it. The tiniest crack or pebble will stop it or much worse, even topple it. The racks with the small wheels should be avoided so I'd look for ones the biggest possible wheels, you may have to spend $300 or more.

I've used heavy duty wheels (6", 5000lbs) and 1" Baltic birch to make some very stout workbenches. You might go down that route but it will take some time.
