Custom Automotive A/C Rack with Gas Struts and EVA Protection
A two-level automotive air-conditioning component rack with movable support arms, gas struts and CNC-cut EVA inserts.
By HAOFU Engineering Team · Updated 2026-08-10
This custom automotive A/C rack uses two levels, movable support arms, gas struts and CNC-cut EVA inserts to position eight A/C components for handling and production-line logistics.
Direct answer: the custom automotive A/C rack shown in this Short is a two-level steel rack for automotive air-conditioning components. It combines movable support arms, gas struts and CNC-cut EVA inserts so the parts can be positioned, accessed and moved through warehouse or production-line logistics.
What the video shows
The video post identifies a capacity of eight automotive A/C components for this specific design. That number belongs to the shown project; it is not a universal rating for every A/C rack. The visible design uses two levels, a movable support arm on each level and gas-assisted opening for easier retrieval.
| Visible or stated feature | Buyer question it addresses | Specification to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Two-level layout | How many components fit in the working presentation? | Part envelope, orientation and target quantity |
| Movable support arms | How will operators load and retrieve the part? | Opening direction, access clearance and cycle |
| Gas struts | How is the platform opened? | Assist force, safe travel and maintenance plan |
| CNC-cut EVA inserts | How are contact and movement controlled? | Part geometry, contact points and replacement plan |
Why part-specific protection matters
A rack is not specified by the product name alone. The component geometry, sensitive surfaces, loading direction and handling equipment determine where supports and cushioning belong. Industry packaging guidance also treats the container, the load and the handling environment as one system; see the MHI packaging overview. For a dunnage perspective, Southern Perfection's custom dunnage guide explains why separators and cushioning are designed around the part rather than chosen as a generic insert.
Common specification mistakes
- Sending only the part name without drawings, photos or contact points.
- Choosing the insert before confirming the loading and unloading motion.
- Assuming the shown eight-piece layout applies to another component.
- Ignoring the warehouse, forklift or line-side access route.
For a project review, use HAOFU's custom automotive parts racks, compare the protection principles in the EVA and divider guide, then send the part details through customization or contact. Watch the original YouTube Short for the movement shown in the project.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
- What is a custom automotive A/C rack?
- It is a part-specific steel rack for automotive air-conditioning components. The video shows a two-level design with movable supports, gas struts and shaped EVA inserts.
- How many A/C components does the rack shown hold?
- The accompanying video post states that the shown rack is designed to hold eight automotive A/C components. Other projects must be sized from the actual part and handling brief.
- Why use CNC-cut EVA inserts?
- CNC-cut EVA inserts can match the component shape and create repeatable contact points. In the video post, they are used to support positioning and help reduce scratches, movement and collision during handling.
- What do the gas struts do on this rack?
- The gas struts assist the opening movement of the support platform, helping operators open it more smoothly and retrieve components more conveniently.
- What should I send for a similar rack quotation?
- Send the part drawing or clear photos, part dimensions and weight, quantity per rack, contact points, handling equipment, route and any surface-protection requirements. HAOFU can then review a project-specific concept.
