Product Description

Amazon.com Product Review

Store ladders, lumber, rope, baby strollers, furniture, and more up tight against the wall with this multi-use rack from Racor. The rack is equipped with a large hook on top for supporting wider items, and a smaller hook underneath for narrower things, like rope, stroller handles, and lawn chair backs. The upper hook is perfect for holding ladder rungs tight against the wall for optimal safety. The bar fixes to Racor's innovative WallDock wall plate, which is part of a modular system of interchangeable storage options. Each WallDock accepts any of numerous storage hooks and shelves available in Racor's Interchange system, making the setup incredibly versatile for constantly changing storage needs.

Racor's modular Interchange storage system is designed for easy installation, flexibility, and seasonal access to a wide variety of items throughout the home. InterChange offers unlimited, modular possibilities for keeping tools, recreation gear and anything else right where you need it, when you need it. And as more stuff is added, it's a simple matter to reorganize and add racks by mounting them on existing or newly-installed WallDocks. --Brian D. Olson

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install and works great, August 14, 2006

This review is from: Racor IMH-2R Interchange Walldock Multi-Use Rack (Tools & Home Improvement)

The rack takes about 5 minutes to install and that was for two of them that I wanted to use to hang a 20 foot extension ladder in my garage. The hardest part was just picking a spot and levelling up the two racks. The rack is held in place by Racor's unique system that uses a clip that is screwed into the wall. Then the hook itself just snaps onto this clip. While at first I was a bit skeptical that the clip would be sufficient to hold any weight, my ladder is about 50 lbs and its been doing just fine for weeks now. I recommend this product as it is both simple and is one of only decent looking racks that I've been able to find.

The other reviewer is correct that it is easy to install. It comes with two screws, two pieces of plastic, and the rack itself. At first, I thought the instructions were missing. I looked at the picture to make sure the red tab points downward. The directions are on the side of the box. It comes with two long screws. I actually used my own anchor and screws, since this doesn't come with anchors. I, too, was skeptical about how much weight it could hold. It was good enough for our 17 pound Bugaboo stroller.
There is no indication on the box about the maximum weight it can hold. I wouldn't test it to its limit. The rack does wiggle a bit when attached to the plastic part. I wish it attached on more securely. The rack itself is pretty well-made. It's the plastic that it snaps onto which I worry about giving if too much weight/stress is put on it. Once again, it would be nice if they did some quality control test and found out. I'm happy with it because now our stroller is hung up and out of the way in our little NYC apartment!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good idea, but not implemented quite right, October 16, 2011

2 and a half stars really.

The bracket is easy to install, but my disappointment is the same as other reviewers have mentioned. Namely, no matter how securely the plastic block is attached to the wall - and they provide good size screws, the metal bracket wobbles and is not held securely onto the plastic mounting block. The metal bracket is solid enough. I got mine to hang a ladder in the garage. This is not a cheap or badly made product, but the design is slightly off trying to hold the metal bracket on the wall fixing with a flimsy plastic 'spring clip'. The spring clip is not really load bearing, but it stops the bracket coming off the plastic mounting block.)

It probably will work because the metal bracket sits on a solid sloping surface, sort of like a coat hook. Any weight forces the metal bracket closer to the wall. But it is wobbly when not under load. Read the other reviews to complete the picture.
