RACKS
Standard California Rack
We manufacture them in two formats:
​
1) 4"Low profile: this rack is designed for 2 barrels of 225/300 liters.
​
2) Standard DB7 ": format for 2 or 4 barrels of 225/300 liters and of 300/400 liters.
Seismic Self-Supporting Rack
ACME has developed a new type of SELF-SUPPORTING barrel rack that has several advantages over the traditional California rack.
​
It was developed and designed based on several years of research, tests and a study using a rigorous calculation method that ensures that its structure is earthquake-resistant according to the Chilean Standard, which is quite conservative.
. The following standards were used for the study:
​
a.- Chilean Seismic Design Code Nch 433 of 96
b.- Action of Wind Code Nch 432 of 71
c.- Load and Overload Code Nch of 1537
d.- AISC (American Institute Steel Construction) Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings
​

​
​
To date, we have manufactured more than 70,000 racks.
In addition to its seismic design, one of its main advantages is barrel preservation. Given its self-supporting quality, the barrels do not suffer any damage due to loading or deterioration when stacked.
Thanks to its structural design, it can stack up to 8 units, allowing considerable savings when it comes to square meters per barrel stored.
Its design allows for very simple and cost-effective storage. They are already being used in the Valdivieso, Pérez Cruz and Tarapacá wineries.
