Mobile Vehicle Panel Storage Rack For 5 Panels FMT1205

Mobile Vehicle Panel Storage Rack FMT1205 – Holds 5 Panels

The Mobile Vehicle Panel Storage Rack (FMT1205) is a sturdy, mobile trolley designed to safely store and transport up to 5 large vehicle body panels. It accommodates doors, bonnets, tailgates, wings and other full-size panels, keeping them separated, protected and ready for the next stage of repair.

Priced at just £149.99 (reduced from £183.99), the FMT1205 is an affordable investment that pays for itself by preventing costly panel damage and improving workshop efficiency.

Why Do Bodyshops Need a Panel Storage Rack?

During a collision repair, multiple panels are often removed from the vehicle at the same time. Without proper storage, these panels end up leaning against walls, stacked on workbenches or placed on the floor. This creates several problems:

• Panel damage — panels knock against each other, causing dents, scratches and paint chips that require additional repair work
• Wasted time — technicians spend time searching for panels, moving them out of the way and handling them individually
• Cluttered workshop — panels on the floor create trip hazards and block access to vehicles and equipment
• Customer complaints — damage to panels during storage can lead to visible defects on the finished repair

The FMT1205 mobile panel storage rack eliminates all of these issues. Each panel sits in its own dedicated slot, fully separated from the others, so there is no risk of contact damage.

Adjustable Spacing for Different Panel Sizes

Not all body panels are the same size. A front wing is much thinner than a bonnet, and a tailgate takes up more space than a door skin. The FMT1205 features adjustable spacing between the panel slots, so technicians can configure the rack to suit the exact panels being stored on each job.

This adjustability means the rack works equally well for:

• Thin panels like wings and door skins — slots can be positioned closer together to maximise capacity
• Bulky panels like bonnets and tailgates — slots can be spaced wider apart to accommodate the extra depth
• Mixed panel sets — a combination of thin and thick panels on the same rack

As a result, the FMT1205 adapts to every job rather than forcing technicians to work around a fixed layout.

Fully Mobile for Workshop Efficiency

The rack is fitted with casters for smooth movement across workshop floors. This means technicians can wheel the loaded rack directly to the vehicle, the spray booth or the assembly bay — rather than carrying panels individually across the workshop.

Moving 5 panels at once on a single trolley is significantly faster and safer than making multiple trips. Additionally, the rack can be positioned next to the vehicle during strip-down, so panels go straight onto the rack as they are removed. This keeps the workflow moving and prevents panels from being set down in unsafe locations.

Sturdy Construction Built for Daily Use

The FMT1205 is built for the demands of a busy bodyshop. The sturdy steel construction handles the weight of full-size body panels without flexing or tipping. Unlike lightweight alternatives, this rack is designed for daily use in a professional workshop environment where it will be loaded, moved and unloaded repeatedly throughout the working day.

• Front and rear doors
