Abstract: A readily portable and, optionally readily disassembled rack comprises longitudinal members on either side and transverse members between the longitudinal members. The transverse members are spaced apart so that cylindrical objects--e.g., reels for wire and cable, rolls of paper, coils of steel, drums, etc.--rest on two adjacent transverse members. The longitudinal members are preferably formed of vertically spaced apart tubing. This permits the rack and contents to be handled by a forklift. It also permits the rack to be supported by the reels on another rack.
