77″W x 72″H x 24″D

*Welded end frames provide strength and stability

*Single tool assembly
*Each shelf holds 908 kg / 2000lb (Evenly distributed weight)
*Connect 2 Units for a Commercial Storage Rack Solution
*Use the bottom shelf of each rack to connect 2 racks together and create 3 TIMES the wall storage.

*Support channels allow for easy assembly and added strength

This is super heavy duty rack.
I own the Gladiator heavy duty rack, but its shelf wires are thin, not like this Whalen rack, whose shelf wires are very thick. That's why I call this SUPER heavy duty. If I have room in my garage, I would buy this.

This looks exactly the same as a rack I bought from Sam's club and the Costco sale price is $10 cheaper. I LOVE this rack so much, I went back and bought another a week later. It's very easy to put together and it's a beast. Way better than those mdf shelved units with the thin metal frame.

This is a good deal. I have purchased these and a similar one from Home Depot in the past. Turns out they're both made by the same company, but are designed differently. However the ones at Costco are definitely more heavy duty and if I were buying more, I would only buy the ones from Costco. This is the best price I've seen on these.

EDIT: It says it's single tool assembly now, so maybe they're more like the Gladiator than they used to be? When I first saw these you had to attach the shelf supports with nuts and bolts, which is the same style as the Strongway I got from Northern Tool and is a massive PITA.

I updated my post. Several years ago when I was in Costco they had these on display and they were the same as the POS Strongway brand I got from Northern, but they must have updated them so that you don't need to assemble them with nuts and bolts anymore, which is a huge improvement. The ones I saw and the one I have also had a really crappy finish in comparison with my Gladiator racks. Maybe that's changed, too.

Man debating on these for my shed. I was going to build some with plywood and 2x4s but ill be spending around $210 all in now with the rise in lumber prices for 2 shelves. 2 of these may be a better option now

I own 6 of these racks. A rubber mallet helps, other that they just slide together.

You just need a mallet

I have had these whalen ones since 2014/2015 and they were snap in already.

Why do you need to move storage racks around in your garage... you're weird. Great deal on the whalen.

I wish we have that on stock in near by Costco. I am hoping to redo garage storage. Not stocked in near by NY/CT stores.
