Control Arm Assembly Rack — 6 Layers, 30 Parts, EVA Protected
A custom rack for automotive control arm assemblies: 6 storage layers, 30-part capacity, EVA foam protection on every layer, dust-proof curtain and a stackable frame.
This control arm assembly rack holds 30 parts across 6 storage layers, with EVA foam on every layer to prevent scratches and a dust-proof curtain to keep components clean. The stackable design saves warehouse space and speeds up production handling.
This control arm assembly rack is a specially designed metal rack for automotive control arm assemblies, with 6 storage layers and a capacity of 30 parts. Each layer carries EVA foam protection to prevent scratches and damage, and a dust-proof curtain keeps the components clean during storage and transportation. The stackable design saves warehouse space and improves production efficiency.
Why control arms need a layered rack
A control arm is an awkward shape with ball joints, bushings and machined mounting faces that must not be knocked. Stacking them loose damages the joints and the coating. Separating parts onto individual cushioned layers keeps each assembly clear of the next and makes picking predictable for the operator.
Specification at a glance
| Item | This rack | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Storage layers | 6 | Separates parts so joints and faces never touch |
| Capacity | 30 parts | Matched to line takt and safe handling weight |
| Protection | EVA foam on every layer | Prevents scratches, dents and coating damage |
| Enclosure | Dust-proof curtain | Keeps bushings and machined faces clean |
| Frame | Stackable | Uses vertical space; cuts empty return volume |
Layer count is a process decision
Six layers is not arbitrary — layer count balances density against how much an operator should lift and how many parts the line consumes per delivery. Set it too high and the rack becomes hard to load; too low and you burn floor space and transport runs. Reusable, right-sized transport packaging of this kind is the model promoted by the Reusable Packaging Association.
Protecting the coating
Control arms are usually e-coated or painted, and surface damage means scrap. We place replaceable EVA exactly where the part rests — the same approach described in our guide to protecting painted and plastic parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many control arms does this rack hold?
- This rack holds 30 control arm assemblies across 6 storage layers. Both figures are set during design: the layer count and parts per layer are matched to the part geometry, the line's consumption rate and a safe handling weight per rack.
- Why does each layer need EVA foam?
- Control arms carry ball joints, bushings and machined mounting faces, and are usually e-coated or painted. EVA foam at each contact point means the assembly rests on cushioning rather than bare steel, preventing the scratches and dents that turn a good part into scrap.
- What does the dust-proof curtain do?
- It encloses the load during storage and transport so dust and debris stay off bushings and machined faces. It still opens quickly, so operators are not slowed down when loading or picking at the line.
- Can this rack design be adapted to other suspension parts?
- Yes. The same layered, EVA-protected, stackable approach suits knuckles, links, subframe brackets and similar awkward suspension components. Layer height, part nests and capacity are re-engineered around whichever part you send us.
- Does the stackable design affect capacity?
- No — stacking is structural, not a trade-off against capacity. The frame and corner posts carry the load of racks above through the steel, not through the parts, so a loaded rack can be stacked while still holding its full 30 assemblies.
