Abstract: The wire rack handling tool of this invention has a handle, a hooking element, and a stabilizing component. The preferred embodiment is made of formed wire and therefore the entire tool is rigid. The hooking element is at the bottom of the handle stem and is advanced onto a wire rack while the stabilizing component extends further below the hooking element. As the hooking element is engaged onto a wire rack, the entire tool is allowed to rotate about the hooking element where it is attached to the rack and the stabilizing component comes to rest against the underside of the the rack across several of the rack's parallel rib wires. This pivoting action about the fulcrum in the hooking element provides the leverage for the stability and handling of the wire rack. The width of the stabilizing component provides rotational support and stability of the rack when it is being lifted.
