Bumper Storage Rack For 4 Large Bumpers. Foldaway And Wall Mounted. FMT409S

Bumper Storage Rack FMT409S – Foldaway Wall Mounted Rack for 4 Large Bumpers

The FMT409S is a foldaway wall mounted bumper storage rack designed to hold up to 4 large bumpers safely off the floor. Because the rack folds flat against the wall when not in use, it takes up virtually no space — making it ideal for bodyshops where every square metre of floor area counts.

At £212.99, the FMT409S is a simple, effective solution that protects painted bumpers from damage and keeps your workshop organised.

Why Bumpers Need Proper Storage

Bumpers are one of the most commonly damaged parts during the repair process — not from the original accident, but from poor storage in the workshop. When bumpers are leaned against walls, stacked on the floor or balanced on workbenches, they are vulnerable to scratches, scuffs, dents and paint damage from foot traffic, trolleys and other parts being moved around the workshop.

A freshly painted bumper that gets scratched in storage has to be repainted — costing time, materials and money. Because the FMT409S lifts bumpers off the floor and holds them securely on dedicated supports, the risk of accidental damage drops significantly. As a result, fewer bumpers need rework, and jobs move through the workshop faster.

Foldaway Design – Space When You Need It

The key advantage of the FMT409S over freestanding bumper racks is its foldaway design. When the rack is loaded with bumpers, the supports extend outward from the wall to hold them securely. However, when the rack is empty, the supports fold flat against the wall — so the rack takes up almost no space at all.

This is particularly valuable in workshops that handle a mix of job types. On busy days with multiple strip-downs, you need bumper storage. On quieter days, you need the wall space clear for other tasks. Because the FMT409S folds away in seconds, you get both — without having to move a freestanding rack out of the way.

Holds 4 Large Bumpers

The FMT409S is designed to hold 4 large bumpers simultaneously. Because modern vehicles — including SUVs, crossovers and large saloons — have increasingly large bumper covers, the 500 mm support arms provide enough depth to hold these parts securely without them sliding off or overlapping.

Holding 4 bumpers on a single wall-mounted rack means you can store bumpers from multiple jobs in one location, which keeps the workshop floor clear and makes it easy to identify which bumper belongs to which vehicle.

Adjustable Frame Spacing

The FMT409S consists of two vertical frames that mount to the wall. Because the frames can be attached at any required distance apart, you can set the spacing to suit the bumpers you typically handle. For example:

• Wider spacing — for large SUV and van bumpers that need more support across their width
• Narrower spacing — for smaller hatchback and city car bumpers where a tighter gap provides better support

This adjustability means the FMT409S works for any bodyshop, regardless of the vehicle mix. Furthermore, if your typical job profile changes over time, you can simply reposition the frames on the wall to suit.

Wall Mounted – No Floor Space Used

Because the FMT409S mounts directly to the wall, it uses zero floor space. In a busy bodyshop, floor space is one of the most valuable resources — every square metre taken up by storage is a square metre that cannot be used for vehicle repair. Wall mounting eliminates this trade-off entirely.

In addition, wall mounting keeps bumpers at a convenient working height. Technicians do not need to bend down to floor level to pick up or place bumpers — which reduces strain and speeds up the workflow.

Protects Painted Bumpers from Damage

The product description says it clearly: “Always keep your painted bumpers off the floor to prevent damage.” This is not just good advice — it is a practical requirement for any bodyshop that wants to avoid costly rework.

Bumpers stored on the floor are exposed to:

• Foot traffic — technicians walking past can kick or step on bumpers
• Trolley wheels — parts trolleys and tool carts can roll into bumpers leaning against walls
• Dust and debris — floor-level storage exposes fresh paintwork to grinding dust, welding spatter and general workshop contamination
• Other parts — items being carried or moved can knock into bumpers stored at floor level

The FMT409S eliminates all of these risks by lifting bumpers off the floor and holding them securely on dedicated wall-mounted supports.

Simple Installation

The FMT409S mounts to any solid wall using standard fixings. Because the frames are straightforward vertical rails with fold-out supports, installation is quick and does not require specialist tools or skills. A PDF installation guide is available to download from the product page.

When choosing a mounting location, consider:

• Proximity to the paint shop or prep area — so freshly painted bumpers can be stored immediately without being carried across the workshop
• Wall strength — the wall must support the combined weight of 4 loaded bumpers, so brick, block or steel frame walls are ideal
• Height — mount at a height that allows easy loading and unloading without stretching or bending

FMT409S vs FMT222 – Wall Mounted vs Mobile Bumper Storage

Bodyshop Solutions offers two bumper storage solutions. Each serves a different purpose:

If floor space is your priority and bumpers stay in one area (e.g. near the paint shop), the FMT409S wall mounted rack is the better choice. On the other hand, if you need to move bumpers between strip-down, prep and paint areas, the FMT222 mobile rack gives you that flexibility.

Many bodyshops use both — the FMT409S near the paint booth for freshly painted bumpers, and the FMT222 in the strip-down area for bumpers awaiting repair or painting.
