Drive Motor Rack — 3 Layers, 36 Motors, Polyurethane Protection
A customized three-layer logistics rack for automotive drive motors — 36-motor capacity with durable polyurethane protection against scratches and impact in transit.
This customized metal logistics rack was designed for automotive drive motors. Its three-layer structure holds up to 36 motors, with durable polyurethane protection preventing scratches and impact damage during transportation.
Protect your valuable automotive components with customized metal logistics racks. Designed for automotive drive motors, this three-layer rack holds up to 36 motors and features durable polyurethane protection to prevent scratches and impact damage during transportation.
Why drive motors need dedicated protection
A drive motor is dense, expensive and precision-machined, with exposed shafts, connectors and mounting faces. It is also increasingly central to EV production, so a damaged unit stops a line. The rack has to hold each motor in a fixed orientation, cushion the contact points, and survive repeated returnable cycles between supplier and assembly plant.
Polyurethane vs other protection materials
| Material | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Polyurethane | Heavy parts needing abrasion resistance and long life | Higher material cost |
| EVA foam | Painted or plated surfaces needing soft cushioning | Wears faster under heavy point loads |
| Rubber pads | General vibration damping at contact points | Less precise part location |
| Plastic blocks | Rigid, repeatable part location | Little impact absorption on its own |
Capacity is a takt decision
Thirty-six motors per rack is chosen, not default: it balances transport density against the weight a handling system can move safely and how many units the line consumes per delivery. Handling of loaded racks should follow OSHA materials-handling practice, and returnable-transport identification commonly follows Odette automotive standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many drive motors does this rack hold?
- Up to 36 motors across a three-layer structure. The figure is engineered rather than standard — it balances transport density against the weight your handling system can move safely and how many units the assembly line consumes per delivery.
- Why polyurethane instead of EVA foam?
- Polyurethane resists abrasion and holds up under the heavy point loads a dense drive motor creates, so it lasts through many more returnable cycles. EVA is softer and better suited to painted or plated surfaces; the right choice depends on the part's weight and finish.
- How are the motors held in place?
- Each motor sits in a polyurethane nest shaped to its body, which fixes the orientation and takes the load away from shafts, connectors and machined mounting faces. Fixed orientation also makes loading and unloading repeatable for the operator.
- Is this rack suitable for EV drive units?
- Yes. EV drive motors are exactly the case this design targets — dense, high-value, precision-machined and central to production, so a damaged unit stops a line. We size the nests and structure to your specific motor.
- Can the rack be stacked for storage and return?
- Yes. The frame is built so loaded racks interlock vertically, using warehouse height rather than floor area, and empty racks return in the same stacked form to keep return freight down.
