My problem - in my unique situation - with multiple vending units - is, [color=#0000ff][i]How to rack them?[/i][/color]

[url="http://www.BrickFair.com"]BrickFair[/url] has a lot of material to move, and we fill up a 53' tractor trailer. This bulk vending idea will be yet one more thing added to the full truck. If I simply toss the rack atop other things in the truck, it runs this risk of falling between large, heavy pallets and getting crushed as the truck jostles along the highway. I've suffered this before, sadly.

If I box it up, it takes up a ton of space, and for what? Mostly air. I could perhaps find a rack that disassembles. But I don't want to do that. I want setup to be fast and easy. I don't need yet one more hour-long task in the setup process of our show.

Typical vendors don't have this issue, I suppose. Their machines tend to stay in one place. But transporting is a major issue for my setup.

[color=#0000ff][i]I will have to box up the machines anyway[/i][/color], I figure. [color=#0000ff][i]What if I build a sturdy box that acts as 1) Storage, 2) Safe shipping, and 3) Rack?[/i][/color] Now that would be cool. The box would [u]become the rack[/u], and I'd have less stuff to store, plus a built-in padded box for my machines.

With this idea settled, and my recent measurements of actual rack setups, I would have to draw up a tough, multi-purpose box/rack.
