Glider Rack

We are interested in getting a quote for building a rack with pull out shelves that would hold a total of three 200 lb underwater gliders on their glider carts and allow one glider to be stored under. We would like the capability to have a beam trolley lift.

We are using this image as an example but do not need to follow this completely, more of a guideline.

I’d like the rack to be able to have sliding drawers that the glider and glider cart pull out so we can use a winch to take the gliders off of the shelves. I’d like the rack to be able to be secured to a wall to give it added stability. I’d like to make sure that there are no brackets or anything past the cart handle so that the different length of gliders (some shorter and some longer) will not be an issue, especially with the tail possibly hitting on anything.

This is a picture of a glider on a cart. The measurements from the front of the cart to the end of the grey handle is 94”. The height from the floor to the top of the fin is 23 inches. The width is 14.25”. We have gliders that are longer than the glider cart but they vary in size.
