Football Equipment Racks & Carts

How to Choose a Football Equipment Rack or Cart

Start with capacity. Count every helmet your program issues across varsity, JV and freshman squads, then add room for spares and new purchases. A football helmet rack that holds the whole inventory in one place makes check-out, check-in and end-of-season counts far faster than loose shelves or bins.

Next, decide between fixed and mobile storage. A mobile football equipment cart lets you load helmets in the equipment room, roll them to the field entrance or the team bus, and bring them back without carrying armloads. If gear travels between buildings, casters are a must.

Then check what else the rack has to handle. Many schools share one equipment room across sports, so a rack that accepts football, baseball and lacrosse helmets keeps working in the off-season. Finally, look at the frame: steel holds its shape under a full load and stands up to daily use.

• Capacity: match your full roster plus spares.
• Mobility: swivel casters for moving between rooms; non-marking wheels protect gym and hallway floors.
• Footprint: confirm the rack fits your floor space and every doorway on its route.
• Compatibility: make sure it fits each helmet type you store.

Jaypro StackMaster Deluxe Helmet Rack at a Glance

The StackMaster (model FHC-1) is built for collegiate and high school programs that want high-capacity football equipment storage on wheels. Here are the key specs in one place:

Measuring Your Football Equipment Room

Before you order, measure the floor area where the rack will live and leave clearance around it so staff can reach helmets from every side. The StackMaster stands 64"H with a footprint of 24"W x 61"L, so also check for low shelving, pipes or light fixtures overhead.

Then walk the full route the rack will travel: equipment room door, hallways, any elevator, and the exit to the practice field. The StackMaster is designed to fit through a standard doorway on its swivel casters, but older buildings and double doors with a center post can be tighter, so measure any opening you are unsure of. Note thresholds and ramps too; rolling a loaded rack over a lip is easier with two people.

Materials, Casters and Care

A steel frame gives a high-capacity helmet rack the rigidity it needs, and a little routine care keeps it rolling season after season:

• Wipe the frame with a mild soap solution and dry it, especially after racking helmets that come in wet from practice.
• Let helmets air out before storing them so moisture and odor do not build up in the room.
• Check caster wheels for tape, hair and turf debris, and clear them so they keep swiveling smoothly.
• Inspect fasteners at the start of each season and tighten any that have loosened.
• Fill the rack evenly and roll it slowly over thresholds and uneven ground.

Brands We Carry and a Complete Equipment Room

This collection currently features Jaypro, whose StackMaster Deluxe Helmet Rack handles helmet storage for an entire program. A well-run football equipment room usually pairs a helmet rack with storage for everything else:

• Lockable ball storage locker cages and rolling ball carts for game and practice balls.
• Ball buckets and storage bags for moving balls to drills.
• Sideline seating from our football benches and bleachers.
• Training tools in football passing and punting machines and football, lacrosse and rugby gear.

Outfitting more than one sport? Our volleyball carts and racks help keep a shared storage room just as organized.
