VEVOR VV42 Folding Chair Rack, 800 lb: features, specs and who it suits

The VEVOR VV42 is a rolling rack for storing and moving folding chairs, and it can also carry folding tables. It solves a problem familiar to any hall or meeting room: how to set up and put away dozens of chairs without carrying each one.

Capacity

VEVOR gives the maximum load as 800 lb. It says this equals 84 chairs, or 12 tables plus 42 chairs, in a dual-layer layout. The chairs and tables aren't included. Capacity depends on the weight of your own chairs, so a heavier padded chair may mean fewer per load.

Size

The rack measures about 71.5 in long, 33.7 in wide and 73.2 in high (roughly 182 x 86 x 186 cm) and weighs 75.4 lb. It is a large item, so storage space and door widths are worth measuring. The six-hole adjustable height lets the layers be set for different chair or table sizes.

Frame and reinforcements

The frame is carbon steel in matte black. VEVOR lists several upgrades: an integrated welded rack structure, thicker steel columns, four bolted columns with multiple weld points, triangular plate reinforcements at the joints, and wider, thicker wheels. These are aimed at the loads a full rack carries, though a loaded rack is heavy and best moved with care.

Wheels

The rubber wheels are lockable and universal, which means they swivel, and the locks stop the rack rolling while loading or in storage. Rubber wheels typically run quietly and protect floors better than hard plastic. Even so, a full rack is heavy to push over thresholds and carpet, so plan the route.

Dust cover and elastic cords

A dust cover keeps stored chairs clean during long periods of storage, and elastic cords hold the load steady while moving, according to VEVOR.

Assembly

The rack comes with an instruction manual, and the brand says that if you can use a screwdriver you can put it together using the upgraded fittings.

Loading and moving it

Stack chairs evenly across the layers so the weight is balanced, and lock the wheels while loading so the rack doesn't roll away. Move it slowly, with the elastic cords fastened, and keep the route clear of steps. Two people can make a full rack easier to steer through doors, and the manual's guidance on safe loading should be followed.

Who it suits

VEVOR names churches, community centres, schools, entertainment venues, training rooms and conference rooms. It also fits clubs, event hirers and any group that handles lots of folding chairs.

What to check before you buy

• Your chairs: check their folded thickness and weight against the rack's layout and 800 lb limit.
• Space: measure the storage spot, doorways and lifts.
