Abstract
A shipping rack for flat glass sheets and the like including a base for supporting the sheets on edge and an integral inclined rear wall against which they are supported. Vertical corner posts are affixed to the base behind the inclined wall. A removable split gate, comprised of two individual sections having interconnecting cross bar segments, is provided at the front of the rack. The rear frame is adapted to store the individual sections of the front gate when not in their working position, whereby the gate sections remain with the rack and a number of empty racks can be stacked in nested relationship for storage and return shipment.
