Automotive Parts Rack with EVA Foam Slots — Anti-Scratch & Stackable
A custom automotive parts rack built around die-cut EVA foam slots that stop parts bumping, scratching and shifting in transit — with swivel caster wheels and a space-saving stackable frame.
This custom automotive parts rack seats every component in a die-cut EVA foam slot so parts cannot shift, rub or scratch in transit — combined with swivel casters for line-side movement and a stackable frame that saves warehouse floor space.
This automotive parts rack with EVA foam slots is built to do one thing exceptionally well: stop parts moving. Every component sits in a die-cut EVA foam slot shaped to its outline, so it cannot bump, rub or shift during storage and transportation. Add swivel caster wheels for easy line-side handling and a space-saving stackable frame, and you have a rack that protects the part while improving handling efficiency.
Why die-cut EVA slots stop damage at the source
Most in-transit damage is not one big impact — it is a thousand small movements. Parts loaded loose slide against each other and against bare steel every time the rack is towed, braked or lifted, and each contact leaves a scratch, a scuff or a dent. A slot cut to the exact part outline removes the movement itself: the component is indexed in one position, carried on soft EVA at every contact point, and held there for the whole trip.
What the video shows
| Feature | What it solves |
|---|---|
| Die-cut EVA foam slots | Index each part and cushion it so it cannot shift, rub or scratch in transit |
| Part-shaped seating | One correct orientation, so loading is fast and mistakes are obvious |
| Swivel caster wheels | 360° manual movement to the line and around the warehouse without a forklift |
| Stackable frame | Turns vertical space into storage and cuts empty-return freight |
Protection that pays back every trip
Because the rack is returnable and reusable, the EVA slotting protects the part on every loop through your supply chain, not just once. Scratched, dented or contaminated parts mean scrap, rework and line stoppages; designing the movement out is far cheaper than inspecting damage in. We explain the material choices in detail in our guide to protecting painted and plastic parts with EVA foam dividers, and the same CNC-cut EVA slotting is shown at work in our brake master cylinder rack.
Stackable, space-saving, and built to your part
The stackable frame lets loaded racks interlock vertically so you store more per square metre — see how far that goes in our guide to stackable metal racks. Every slot layout is engineered around your specific components; read how in our automotive parts rack design guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an automotive parts rack with EVA foam slots?
- It is a custom steel rack in which each component sits in a die-cut EVA foam slot shaped to its outline. The slot indexes the part in one position and cushions every contact point, so parts do not shift, rub or scratch during storage and transport — protection a plain shelf or loose pallet cannot give.
- How do EVA foam slots prevent scratches and dents?
- Most transit damage comes from small repeated movements, not one big impact. A slot cut to the exact part outline removes the movement itself: the component is held in place on soft EVA rather than sliding against bare steel or other parts every time the rack is towed, braked or lifted.
- Are the EVA slots custom-made for our parts?
- Yes. The foam is die-cut or CNC-cut to your specific component geometry, so each part drops into its own correctly shaped pocket. We design the slot layout, part orientation and rack density from your drawings or a sample.
- Can the rack be moved to the line and stacked?
- Yes. Swivel caster wheels let operators roll the rack to the station manually without a forklift, and the stackable frame lets loaded or empty racks interlock vertically to save warehouse floor space and reduce empty-return freight.
- Is the rack returnable and reusable?
- Yes — it is a durable steel returnable rack designed to cycle repeatedly through your supply chain. The EVA foam inserts are replaceable wear items, so the rack keeps protecting parts on every trip for years.
