5-Tier Storage Rack with Safety Lip (29" × 13.4" × 59")

Maximizing vertical wall space is essential for maintaining an organized, stress-free reptile room—especially when housing micro-habitats, hatchling nurseries, and live feeder colonies. The XM-304B 5-Tier Compact Carbon Steel Storage Rack offers a vertical storage solution designed for tight floor plans, alcoves, and dedicated keeper spaces.

Measuring 29.13" wide by 13.39" deep and standing 59.06" tall, this five-tier tower delivers five levels of functional display and utility space without dominating your room. Constructed from reinforced carbon steel with a clean silver-gray finish, the entire unit is rated to hold up to 551 lbs (approx. 110 lbs per shelf evenly distributed), easily bearing the weight of glass tanks, bioactive drainage, and bulk liquid supplies.

Unlike standard flat wire shelving, each tier features an integrated raised perimeter safety border. This surrounding wire rim acts as a physical barrier that prevents slick spray bottles, supplement tubs, nursery tubs, and lightweight enclosures from sliding or vibrating off the edges during daily maintenance routines. With fully adjustable slip-sleeve collars that lock in at variable heights and screw-in leveling feet to counteract uneven flooring, this rack provides a balanced foundation tailored to everyday herpetological care.

Enclosure & Vivarium Fit Guide

With usable deck dimensions of 29.13" W × 13.39" D, this compact rack fits a wide variety of small-to-medium habitats and nursery systems:

• Standard 15-Gallon Tanks (24" L × 12" D × 12" H) & 20-Gallon High Tanks (24" L × 12" D × 16" H): Fits one enclosure per shelf with zero front-to-back overhang, safely enclosed within the perimeter lip—ideal for juvenile colubrids, dart frog vivariums, or small terrestrial geckos.
• Standard 10-Gallon Tanks (20" L × 10" D × 12" H): Houses one 10-gallon tank per tier with over 8 inches of adjacent shelf room for thermostat controllers, timers, or mister bottles.
• Dual Nano & Mini Arboreal Terrariums (8" × 8" × 12" or 12" × 12" × 18"): Comfortably holds two front-opening enclosures side-by-side on upper tiers for juvenile crested geckos, micro-geckos, or praying mantises.
• Invertebrate Displays & Nursery Rows: Lines up 3 to 4 acrylic tarantula cubes, jumping spider enclosures, or shoebox hatchling tubs per level.
• Feeder Staging & Utility Hub: Ideal for organizing bioactive leaf litter bags, Dubia chow cups, mealworm trays, and misting spray bottles, with the raised perimeter wire preventing rolling or accidental drops.

Key Features

• Drop-Resistant Perimeter Wire Lip: Integrated all-around raised border stops small items, feeder dishes, and enclosures from sliding off the edge.
• Reinforced Carbon Steel Frame: Heavy-duty carbon steel build supports 551 lbs of total weight (approx. 110 lbs per tier) without sagging or lateral sway.
• Ventilated Open-Grid Decking: Prevents moisture condensation beneath enclosures and allows simple pass-through routing for probe wires, thermostat lines, and heating cables.
• Tool-Free Slip-Sleeve Assembly: Quick interlocking clip collars allow you to reposition shelf heights to accommodate tall basking domes and terrarium hoods without specialized tools.
• Threaded Adjustable Leveling Feet: Stabilizes the rack on uneven floors to prevent shelf wobbling and protect glass enclosures from torsion stress.
• Compact Vertical Footprint: Five full storage tiers in a sub-30-inch horizontal width, optimizing wall space in smaller reptile rooms and home offices.

Specifications

Husbandry Tip: When placing glass aquariums or acrylic enclosures on wire decks with a raised edge, measure the tank's outer base frame to ensure it sits flat inside the inner shelf rim. For glass tanks using under-tank heat mats (UTH), place a thin sheet of rigid foam or silicone shelf mat underneath to support the glass base evenly above the wire pattern.
