Can you stack a 40lbs container on top of a 60lbs container, and it be stable?

nope. the weight of the 40lb will not be evenly distributed and will misshape the 60lb making it virtually impossible to open and close. I tried it.

Don't know, have not tried it. Probably...but be aware that on all the containers, the indentation at the top for stacking is pretty shallow

I only have 60 pound containers, but I can tell you that stacking 60 pound containers works very well, so my guess is that putting a smaller container on top of a larger container would work just fine. If I were you I would call their customer service at 1-800-842-6543 for an exact answer!

I don't think they are designed to be stacked. The top area is shorter than the bottom which would probably cause the upper rack to topple forward if not attached and supported in some way. You could possibly make it work by using double sided tape between the units but I don't think I would due to the likelihood of the plastic bending, sagging or even breaking under the increased load. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it but since they collapse on the sides, I wouldn't try it. I have set them on their sides to have easier access to contents when they are on a shelf and they seem to hold up fine, but don't think it would work to stack them on their side.

Hello, Mike. Yes, they are relatively stable. But stackable, I would think not so much, actually. I am presently using three of these in my home and so far, they are, indeed, holding up rather nicely. Instead of stacking, maybe if you had more space to go on, then maybe brining on more, maybe albeit, smaller racks, may be the way to go here.

Not designed to stack them. The top and bottom are smooth surface, stacking them is risky.

I wouldn't stack them inside each other. They have become stuck and broke when I've done so in the past.

The manufacturer shows a maximum capacity of 600 lbs per leg, so I don't see why not!!! The raisers attach firmly into each other, so you should have no worries about them separating with 150 lbs +/- on each 2" 'stack'.

They stack nicely as long as the contents are well balanced. They are very sturdy so they hold lots of stuff, but if the top tiers get lopsided I suspect there might be a gravitational incident.

As others have said, they aren't designed to fit together like stackable Rubbermaid boxes, or anything, but the enclosure is ROCK SOLID--it's made out of thick aluminum. You should have no problem simply putting them on top of each other. You could probably step on one with your foot and it'd survive.

You can stack these, however, they don't lock together so the stability might be a bit questionable. You can see in the picture that, while the top is solid, the bottom is just wire which makes them a bit tricky if the top one slides over at all. You could probably mod these slightly and zip-tie them together if you need to stack them.

I currently stack two of the 50 pound containers one of top of the other. They are very sturdy and I have no problems. The way the containers stack the doors open easily on the bottom due to space left for this purpose alone. Very stackable. Love mine and glad I ordered a second one.

I bought 2 boxes of these and have them stacked together without a problem. The base on these is just wide enough to do it.

I don't think so. I wouldn't anyway. Each rack is very stable on its own but no real way to secure a stack.

I would not climb or set on these because they are not made that sturdy. I don't think they would stack very well. They are all the same size. I like them for storage that are set in shelves.

The unit is fairly heavy so it could hold the weight but I would not think it would be stack-able due to the round top of the legs. You could always try it and return one if it didn't work out.

Do not do that unless ypu plan on securing them together. Look into getting a bigger cabinet just to be safe. Seriously it will fall over if you stack them. Not worth the injury.

Yes. Remember that a full box helps distribute the weight throughout the box (not just in the middle), and it's okay to stack the partially filled boxes on top.
