    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I just picked up my new rack from Animal Plastics. It is a 1754 series 10 shelf rack which holds either 20 of the 1753/1754 15 quart tubs or 10 of the 1755/1756 32 quart tubs. I've been wanting to start using some commercial racks for a long time, so I decided to check them out. I am not disappointed!!

Here is the front view.

Here is the heat tape routed into the shelves.

Here it is all ready to go with tubs and thermostat.

very nice! i've got one of their economy racks, that they custom made to fit rubbermaid tubs since I didn't have any sterilites. I love it, but I really want one that is fully enclosed. I expect to be ordering a regular rack from them very soon. I was highly impressed with the materials and everything. :)

Grats on teh new rack!
 
Did you have to purchase and install the heat tape separately or did it come already set up?

The heat tape is included with the rack. You do have to assemble the rack and install the heat tape, but it is fairly straightforward and simple, as there's grooves exactly where you need to install it.

The rack is shipped unassembled to save you shipping costs. It's really very easy to put together.
