Best Overall
Amazon Basics 5-Shelf Heavy Duty Shelving Storage Rack with 4-Inch Wheels
Our verdict: Steel wire shelves rated at 300 pounds each, with 1-inch height adjustment.
This is a five-shelf wire rack in durable black steel, with a stated weight capacity of 300 pounds per shelf, shelves that adjust in 1-inch increments and 4-inch wheels. A 300 pound rating per shelf is the figure that separates real storage racks from light carts.
It wins because it is the only cart here that states a load rating, and the 4-inch wheels roll more easily than small casters. The Sakugi below is taller and tidier, but the Amazon Basics can carry far more weight.
It suits a garage, workshop or laundry room. The caveat is that wire shelves leave gaps, so small items need bins or liners.
