Are RACKS easily removable? I have fatter bottles (nut magnum) I need to store.

The racks are easily removable, and can be flipped as well. The slots, though, don't allow for slightly larger gaps between the shelves. You either end up with room for six bottles to be placed on two racks, or three bottles height-wise to be put in the same space if you remove one rack.

I have never had any other racks so I can't compare but yes very easy to take off. Unlock the knob loosen and pull back the locking pin, slides right out.

Yes they are removable, but they are kind of hard to remove once they are snapped in place. I do love the cart though. :)

No, you have to unscrew it. I preferred that for a little more theft deterance. Overall I love this rack

Definitely not something you'll be taking on and off regularly. Though perhaps you could just swivel the rack around so its above the top tubestay? Not sure if that would work for you but that would be your best bet. You'll be stripping screws like crazy and its a pain enough to get it tightly mounted that theres no way you'd be taking it on and off often.

yes, one can flip the rack, but that adversely affects the space in the next slot.larger bottles (chardonnay) fit with just a little drag on them.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

More or less, depends on the size and shape of the bottles. However, the quality of the rack is very poor. Cheap materials and poor craftsmanship. I would just search and buy the cheapest one that Amazon has. I can't really tell the difference between the cheapest one and the more costly one...they must be made by the same guys.

It has an attachment that comes around the side and you use the nut and bolt that comes with it and have to really, really tighten it. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it super tight. Once I did get it to a point where it would no longer turn any more, and I actually put all my weight on it and jumped up and down on it, I wanted to make sure it was not going to budge. The cheap stuff I bought before broke so I didn't want it to do the same thing. And this has my husband's clothes on it and it holding about 100-125 lbs just on that middle bar. And has been on it now for a couple of months without any slippage. I absolutely LOVE these racks.

I don't have any magnums in mine but...you could completely remove the bottle shelf for mags since the bottom is flat. (I had another cooler by another manufactuere and that's where I kept my mags.) The upper racks of this unit? While completely removable, you'd more than likely have glass bottle resting upon glass bottle. Probably doable but I'd be extra careful when removing a bottle.

Yes, it can be removed easily. I remove it after every use for easier storage.

slide out shelves, non-mechanical. I removed two shelves because of the big wine bottles. I don't remember whether the racks have stops. The metal covers on the ends come off easily. Haven't found the correct adhesive to keep them on, so I don't bother. Love it for water, soda, and wine set on lowest temperature. Has a sabbath mode too. I use it to keep people out of the cooking area.

Yes, all racks and supports are removable. In fact, the user's manual states that the racks and supports are supposed to be removed prior to using the self-cleaning cycle. The racks just lift right off the supports. I removed mine and repositioned them a couple of times to get them where I wanted them.

You can remove them... If you want to store 1.5L bottles. That's it. You sacrifice an entire row of 750 ml bottles doing that.

The rack could be taken apart apart and stored in the original box but it would be more trouble than I would be willing to take. You would also have to open the box more carefully than I did so you would have the original box intact.

Yes, all shelves are removable. The top two shelves are separate but the bottom three shelves and the stand up part are one unit and still can removed if necessary. So if you are going to have a taller than normal bottle stand up then you can remove the second shelf from the top to make it fit. I am still very satisfied with the cooler.

I returned the Gorilla Rack because it was too flimsy. I don't believe you can remove the bottom two shelves without substantially degrading stability. If the aquariums are heavy I'm afraid it will not hold the weight.
