Abstract
A shipping rack that includes a frame and a support. The support is coupled to the frame such that the support is rotatable with respect to the frame between a loading position and a transport position. The support includes first and second walls in planes that intersect at approximately a right angle for supporting the plurality of panels with edges being supported by the first and second walls respectively. Movement of the glass support from the loading position to the transport position urges the plurality of panels toward the intersection.

A shipping rack and a plurality of panels supported by the rack, the rack comprising:
- a) a frame;
- b) a support coupled to the frame such that the support is rotatable with respect to the frame between a loading position and a transport position, wherein the support includes first and second walls in planes that intersect at approximately a right angle for supporting the plurality of panels with edges being supported by the first and second walls respectively, wherein movement of the glass support from the loading position to the transport position urges the plurality of panels toward said intersection.
A method of loading and stabilizing a plurality of panels in a shipping rack, comprising:
- a) positioning a support in a loading position;
- b) sliding vertically oriented panels into the support;
- c) rotating the support and panels with respect to a frame from the loading position to a transport position where the panels are stabilized by the force of gravity.
