Overview
Folding chairs stacked on the floor take up space, get damaged, and create a tripping hazard in storage rooms. This folding chairs rack solves the problem by hanging up to 60 Lifetime® brand folding chairs vertically on a rolling steel frame — keeping them organized, elevated off the floor, and ready to transport directly to the setup location. The hanging design protects chair seats and backs from scratching, bending, and the wear that comes from floor stacking.
Designed specifically for the taller profile of Lifetime® folding chairs, the Model 900L features an 84″ empty frame height and a 63″ x 31⅝” footprint that accommodates the wider dimensions of Lifetime chairs. Four 5″ all-swivel phenolic casters provide smooth mobility in any direction, making it easy to roll a full load of 60 chairs from the storage room to the event space without hand-carrying a single chair. Every unit is manufactured by Raymond Products in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a lifetime warranty.
Features and Benefits
The hanging storage design is what separates this rack for folding chairs from floor-based chair dollies and totes. Chairs hang vertically from the frame rails rather than sitting stacked on a flat surface. This vertical orientation eliminates the seat-to-seat contact that causes scratches, scuffs, and finish wear over time. It also keeps every chair accessible — workers pull chairs off the rack individually without unstacking or reorganizing.
The 84″ frame height is sized specifically for Lifetime® brand folding chairs, which are taller and wider than standard metal folding chairs. Standard-height hanging chair trucks (74″ for the Model 900) do not accommodate Lifetime chairs properly. The 900L eliminates that compatibility issue with the additional 10″ of vertical clearance.
The heavy-gauge welded steel frame with a powder-coated finish provides the structural rigidity needed for daily institutional use. Four 5″ x 1½” all-swivel phenolic casters allow the full rack to be rolled in any direction — through doorways, down corridors, and into event spaces — without needing to pivot or reposition. The all-swivel configuration is essential for tight storage rooms and crowded back-of-house areas.
Applications
Churches are the largest user group for Lifetime® chair racks. Fellowship halls, sanctuary overflow areas, and multi-purpose rooms use Lifetime brand folding chairs extensively, and the chairs need to move between storage and setup multiple times per week. This hanging folding chairs rack keeps up to 60 Lifetime chairs organized in a single storage truck, ready for one person to roll to the event space. Volunteers can load and unload the rack without training or special equipment.
Schools and universities that have standardized on Lifetime folding chairs use this rack for folding chairs in gymnasiums, cafeterias, auditoriums, and multipurpose rooms. The hanging design protects the chairs between uses and speeds up setup and teardown cycles. Hotels, convention centers, and event rental companies rely on it for high-volume banquet and conference room configurations. Government and municipal buildings — community centers, recreation departments, and public meeting rooms — use it for spaces that change seating layouts frequently.
Selection Assistance
Choose the Model 900L specifically when your facility uses Lifetime® brand folding chairs. The taller 84″ frame is required to accommodate the Lifetime chair profile. If you use standard-size metal folding chairs (not Lifetime), the standard Model 900 (74″ frame, holds up to 72 standard chairs) provides higher capacity at a lower frame height.
For smaller storage rooms, the Compact Hanging Chair Truck (Model 920L) holds up to 40 Lifetime chairs in a shorter footprint. For low-clearance storage areas with overhead obstructions, the Half-Size Hanging Chair Truck (Model 940) provides a 41¾” height option. For combined chair and table storage on a single cart, the Model 935L holds 30 Lifetime chairs plus 8 tables.
