European Barrel Rack Supplier

[grassrootsvt]

Might anyone know of a resource for barrel racks in Europe? My usual search parameters are turning up nothing - probably because most company websites are not in english...

I guess I'm exposing my ignornace, but what exactly do you mean by "barrel rack"?

For stacking barrels:

That's kinda what I figured.

I know that "beer racks" are not common in Germany, as one simply stacks kegs on wooden pallets. You may have to check out other european markets.

Those images came from: GW Kent (http://www.gwkent.com/)

With the weak dollar you may be able to buy from Kent and ship. Call Kent, they may have a Euro source for you. 001 734.572.1300

I couldn't come up with a link but I would assume if you started with Wine Trade 'type' magazine you could eventually find what you're looking for. Or get hold of the Cooperage firms in France or elsewhere.

Shaun:

Be more specific. Are you looking for barrel racks for Oak, made out of wood? Or out of some kind of Metal or Plastic?

If you keyword search: fasslagerung or Fassbock It will bring up a listing of the single barrel racks, like you would see for a chemical drum.

Here is also these links under fasspallette:

For more of a display kinda thing, you can always explore this:

Hope this helps. Agree with comment about wedge with wood on their own, that way you can turn them and the barrels do not warp if made of wood.

Thanks especially to the folks at GW Kent for their suggestions. Yes, of course I mean for oak barrels! =) Thanks especially to Mark back in VT... A much more economically sound suggestion - I can't see why these chemical drum racks wouldn't also work for 225L oak. If only I knew more languages... so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Shipping from the Midwest states is in the range of 1,000$... ouch... need to source closer to home.
Thanks!
