Mid-State Litho is an authorized dealer for Challenge Machinery, and the Pak-Rak sits alongside the rest of that line. Shops moving short stacks between stations often pair it with the smaller Handy Cart, while a full bindery floor buys it as part of a wider paper handling equipment set. The carts feed the same machines we sell: Challenge paper drills, the Challenge Handy-Jog, and the guillotine paper cutters that squared the stack in the first place. Ask about financing if you are buying more than one, and request a freight quote with your zip code before you order, since both sizes ship by LTL freight.
Common questions about the Pak-Rak stock truck
What is the difference between the standard and XL Pak-Rak?
Shelf size. The standard holds stock up to 10-3/4 by 16-3/4 inches and the XL holds up to 14 by 20 inches. The XL is also nine inches longer, eight inches wider and five inches taller, so check your aisle width before ordering. Both carry 500 lb total and 75 lb per shelf.
How many shelves does it come with?
Four fixed base shelves plus eight adjustable shelves, twelve in total. Four more adjustable shelves are available as an expansion, taking it to sixteen.
Does it arrive assembled?
Yes. Both sizes ship fully assembled on a pallet and roll off ready to load.
How does it ship and what does delivery cost?
By LTL freight. Shipping weight is 220 lb for the standard and 270 lb for the XL. Call 1-800-343-4231 with your zip code for a freight quote, and tell us if the delivery point needs a lift gate.
Why the inward slant on the shelves?
The shelves tip toward the frame, so a stack settles square against the back rather than drifting toward the open edge while the cart moves. That is what keeps corners from getting dinged between the press and the cutter.
