rack sway: Does the rack sway after you remove a pot, or does it stay balanced?

The rack can move as you hang and remove pots/pans etc. Since it's balanced in the center with just 2 lags in the ceiling it'll move as the weight shifts around. The rack itself is fairly heavy so the shifting isn't much, but yes it moves. You can pus it and it'll swing and such also. Given the weight, fully loaded it's very stable. You really have to hang it from studs or it'll be on the ground quickly! This beast is heavy, especially loaded up.

I bought this specifically as I wanted to get rid of my aluminium cooker. Everything is good except that the handles are a bit unstable.Not sure if it is specific to my piece.

It hangs from 4hooks and yes it stays balanced when you remove the pots and pams

Mine is loaded and fantastic. No sway at all. I actually saw a JC Penny clerk pushing one through the store today and smiled to myself thinking "I own one of those!".

Very easy to remove. As other has said, it takes a bit of time the first time but afterwards its ok. Longest time is spent making sure it is even/centered on the rack.

The rack does not pull the rack out. The door will stop where ever you stop opening the door, it can rest on the counter. One is able to remove the rack with no problem. I hope this helps you. I really like my Calphalon. Use it almost daily.

On mine the tray comes out about an inch when it's sitting on the rack. The rack goes in a groove, if you don't put it back there it won.t slide forward.

The rack with weight if contents in the bag would likely shift to the left or right instead of remaining center as mounted regardless how hard you tighten the clamping piece on the seatpost. I can live with it and center the rack after a bumpy ride.

Mine are installed on the sides facing the inside of the power rack. While its a little annoying because I have to take them out to do other exercises in the rack if you install them on the outside unless yours is bolted or weighted heavily to the floor your will tip your rack. The inside though feels perfectly fine, right distance apart. I personally don't even bother using the bolt that came with them to hold them in place. The force of doing the dip keeps them from any movement.

It absolutely will not sway or lean. I have been using one of these as my main closet rack after my original wall-mounted rack collapsed under the weight of my clothing about a year ago! I also have a double rail style of the same rack in my storage space that has been loaded up for over five years. I'm about to purchase another one for storage because they are sturdy and reliable and I know they last.

I can honestly say that I have had lilt sway even after flooring it. The bikes hold pretty securely & snuggly in the cradles. Especially if there is more than one next to each other there is virtually none. But I would recommend these to tie down the bike in the position closest to the vehicle Saris Wheel Stabililzer Straps (2 Pack) by Saris Saris Bicycle Wheel Stabilizing Straps for Htich and Trunk Rack

The rack is very stable and does not move around. We take it on trips at highway speeds often without worry. The bike does not move at all, unlike our last rack where the bikes swayed a lot.

There is a spring loaded pin to pull up at the base of the rack. This allows the rack to tilt down. The pin stays in place so the rack just clicks back in when raised.

i think u must not have the bars in place correctly that balance the two racks. there are no pictures of them on the directions. the two bars that have black plastic on either side go between the racks to balance them.to order replacement parts just call the number on the instruction paper that came with the item.

It is very sensitive. Since its only held at 2 points in the middle it will lean a lot. You have to place your pots to balance it and be careful about what's on top.

Not sure. My rack is wobbly. I wound up getting bungy cords and wrapping around unit to make it more stable. Not the most comforting feeling when you have 3 keyboards sitting on an unstable frame.

In my experience, the rack wobbles very little. A well-designed knob tightens the shaft of the rack against the inside of the receiver. Then, a safety pin inserts into a hole through the receiver and into one side of the rack shaft. The locking mechanism is pretty clever. After the rack is installed and the knob tightened to your satisfaction, a key is used to disengage the tightening knob such that it rotates freely. That way, while the system is quite easy to install and to remove, it is not easy to steal because the knob simply rotates freely until the key is used to re-engage it with the tightening mechanism. Very simple design, very effective. My only concern with the design had been that the shaft doesn't sit very deep into the receiver at all. I was really worried that it almost seemed as it if couldn't possibly hold. Nonetheless, in use, it has worked very well and it never loosens or slips, even after long trips. I'm thoroughly satisfied. It's are superior to the previous system that I had been using.
