Jowi Mobile Racks

Mobile Racks for Horizontal Storage

Wheeled racks with multiple horizontal storeys for storing furniture parts, boards, doors, and varnished components. Four series cover loads from 200 kg (B Series for moderate furniture parts) all the way to 2,250 kg (Quercus modular system for large heavy panels up to 6 meters long). Adjustable storey heights, easy-rolling castors, and configurations that stack inside one another when empty.

Shared Across All Series

Design Features Common to Every Jowi Mobile Rack

Whether you choose the lightweight B Series or the heavy-duty Quercus, three design principles run through every Jowi Mobile Rack — and explain why these racks stay in service for decades.

01

You Decide the Storey Spacing

A few quick turns of a hexagon socket set screw adjusts the height of each storey. Want extra spacing for varnished doors to dry? Tight spacing for stacked drawer fronts? The same rack handles both. No proprietary tools, no service call — the operator reconfigures the rack to match the job.

02

Manoeuvring Is Child's Play

Ball-bearing steering castors with convex tread move full loads through tight spaces with one hand. The convex tread reduces ground contact area for easier turning, and the ball bearings carry serious weight without binding. Even a fully loaded 500 kg C Series rack moves smoothly through a busy shop.

03

Fixed or Adjustable Length — Both Save Space

Fixed-frame racks stack inside one another when unloaded — five empty racks occupy the footprint of one. Length-adjustable models (Dabelju, X, XX, X3) collapse to a fraction of their working length using cam levers. Floor space taken by storage is space that pays itself back when it's not needed.

The Four Series

Four Mobile Rack Series for Different Loads

Each series is engineered for a specific weight class and material profile. The series letter indicates the upright type and rack dimensions; numbers in model codes indicate support tube length, upright count, and configuration.

B
B Series — Maximum Manageability
200 kg max load · 16 storeys · 125 mm castors · perfect for furniture parts
Jowi B Series mobile rack for furniture parts and moderate loads

The standard for moderately heavy material

A tried and trusted design that's been a staple in cabinet shops and furniture manufacturers for years. The B Series handles cupboard doors, unit parts, and similar material with ease. C-series uprights with 16 pre-punched holes provide 66 mm storey height when all support tubes are used — perfect for stacking flat parts with consistent thickness.

C
C Series — Even Stronger

When the B Series isn't enough capacity, the C Series is the next step. Built to handle thicker components such as 50 mm boards, stair parts, and standard-sized doors. 12 pre-punched holes give 92 mm storey height when all tubes are used — wider spacing to accommodate the thicker material. Larger 160 mm castors handle the heavier loads.

Selection Criteria

How to Choose the Right Mobile Rack

Five questions guide the configuration decision. Walk through these and the right model becomes obvious.

1

How wide is the material?

Support tube length should roughly match the width of most frequently transported material. Larger boards can protrude up to one-third beyond the support tube (with load capacity reduced by one-third). Extension tubes are available for occasional oversized material.

2

How thick is the material? (for spacing calculation)

Rule of thumb: material thickness + approximately 40 mm = compartment spacing. The 40 mm gap allows easy loading/unloading and air circulation for drying varnished components.

3

Different lengths or similar lengths?

Different lengths → Choose a fixed-length model (e.g., B-2/2, C-2/2, R-2/2). Similar lengths → Choose a fully adjustable length model (X, XX, X3 variants). Custom lengths available in 55 cm intervals below 1,510 mm; standard custom lengths include 2,060, 2,335, and 2,995 mm for B, C, and R series.

4

How flexible does the rack need to be?

For fixed-frame racks: reposition i-shaped uprights in the pre-punched holes (55 mm apart). For longer materials: couple two racks from the same series together — standard 0.3 m coupling, custom up to 1.5 m. Couplings are removable when the longer length isn't needed.

5

How heavy is the material?

All load capacities assume even distribution and no impact loads. If only 2 of 4 support tubes are used per storey (e.g., for varnished parts that should touch minimally), spacers can be installed to increase storey load capacity. Quercus is the right answer when 500 kg per rack isn't enough.

Accessories & Add-Ons

Configure Your Rack for Specific Workflows

Standard racks handle most needs. The accessories below address specific shop scenarios — oiled material, wall-mounted storage, multi-rack systems, and customization for unique production environments.

Tubular Netting for Oiling

Fits over B, C, R, and Quercus support tubes (20–40 mm diameter). Minimal contact points with oiled material — faster drying, no visible marks from contact areas. Sold in 2 × 50 m rolls per unit.

Lateral Rails for Wall-Mounting

Top and bottom rails (1,410 mm each, 1,510 mm including mounting bracket). For B, C, or R series i-shaped uprights. Rail spacing: 1,520 mm (R series) or 1,435 mm (B and C). Fastenings purchased separately based on wall type.

Coupling for Multi-Rack Systems

Connects two racks from the same series. Standard 0.3 m length, custom up to 1.5 m. Racks separate again when the longer combined length is no longer needed.

Extension Tubes

For occasional oversized material. UR23-0600 (Ø 27 mm steel with plastic cover) for B series; UR29-0600 (Ø 32 mm powder-coated) for C and R series. Both 600 mm long with 350 mm usable length.

Replacement Support Tubes

Galvanized finish available on request. B series (Ø 23 mm): AR23-0590 or AR23-0780. C/R series (Ø 29 mm): AR29-0660, AR29-0770, AR29-0900, or AR29-1100.

Additional i-Shaped Uprights

Retrofit additional uprights to B, C, or R series fixed-frame racks. Order specifying upright type (B/C/R), number of support tubes needed, and required lengths.

Directional Locks

Swivel castor that switches to fixed (straight-tracking) on demand. Available on request for B, C, R series. Cannot be retrofitted — must be ordered at time of purchase.

T-Shaped Chassis (Double-Sided)

Telescopic, double-sided storage available on B, C, R series; standard on Dabelju-VV models. Cannot be retrofitted. Example (R660-2/2): standard 500 kg, T-chassis one side 300 kg, T-chassis both sides 400 kg total.

Custom Colors

Specify RAL number at time of inquiry. Match your shop's brand colors or color-code racks by department/workflow.

Heat-Resistant Variants

For racks operating in heated environments (drying tunnels, finishing booths). Specify temperature range and maximum load capacity needed at time of inquiry.

Robotic Loading Configuration

Higher bottom edge available on request — allows robotic loading systems to reach beneath the lowest storey. Order at time of purchase.

Plastic Caps for Quercus Cross Tubes

Finishing caps for the exposed ends of Quercus cross tubes. Item: plastic caps GL 60. Improves appearance and protects against operator contact with raw tube ends.
