Abstract: An improved rack for storage and transportation of water cooler bottles is disclosed. The improved rack comprises a plurality of vertical supports at the front and rear of the rack. A plurality of horizontal support bars extend between the front and rear vertical supports. A curved support surface extends between horizontal support bars which are preferably arranged in pairs. The curved support surface may be defined by a cradle, or insert which can be removably attached to a pair of horizontal support bars. The curved support surface will engage an underside of a water cooler bottle placed thereon and will provide ample support thereto to prevent damage to the water cooler bottle during transport.
