Can the wheels be locked so the rack won't roll?

I just checked my rack and I don't think it can be locked. I really like mine- so much I got two. No problem so far.

I really like the rack, but that is the only thing I did not like. The wheels do not lock.

The wheels do not lock to my knowledge. I use these stools in my vet hospital and my staff are on and off them a thousand times a day. One must climb on with care but we have not had any problems with them rolling uncontrollably.

Yes, the wheels lock. There is a small lever beneath each handle grip (you can see it if you look closely at the photo). You simply push the lever down and the wheels lock in place.

The wheels do lock. We have a 25 pound toaster oven on the top wooden shelf and all of it's components (pizza stone, roasting pan, trays, etc.) on the second wire shelf. The bottom wire shelf has small appliances that we don't want on the counter top, such as our juicer and espresso maker. I am sure that it could take more than that though.

The rack itself has a mechanism to lock the bikes in place, but we also used bungee cords. Those were used to lock the wheels in place and prevent them from spinning or angling while we were driving. We used a total of two bungees to lock in 3 bikes.

You attach the wheels, so they can be removed / not attached. I would recommend it, the legs did not have a nice finish on the bottom.The wheels can be locked in place too, there is a turn-key on each wheel so you can lock the individually. Don't really need to, it is very heavy and does not roll by itswlf

Yes, this shelving rack unit can be used without the wheels. In fact, it can hold five times as much weight without the wheels -- up to 120 pounds per shelf with equal weight distribution on locked wheels, versus up to 600 pounds with equal weight distribution when installed with the leveling feet at each corner (without the wheels). I installed it in a fixed location with the leveling feet, and it's strong and stable. I keep the weight distributed across each shelf, and loaded the unit starting on the bottom shelf.

The wheels don't have locking mechanisms, but my chair is on a fairly thick rug and it doesn't move unless I really want it to. I had initially planned to leave the wheels off, but I wouldn't advise it unless you have some sort of protective barrier between the feet and the floor.

I'm sure you could. We didn't lock ours we just used ratchet straps to secure them. If you're wanting to lock more than one bike you might want to use a chain with a padlock so you can chain/lock them together as well as to the rack. Good luck

I have no issues trying to move it even full. And the wheels lock up tight if you want it to stay put!

The wheels do not lock. Although I had no reason to remove them, the wheels should be removable

Without! We left the wheels off because it won't be moved. We used it in the pantry. We also got one for the garage and used the wheels on it. The wheels have locks on them as well.

We locked ours with a small padlock through the hole in the post that goes though cent of wheel. It prevents the bar from turning.

There is no locking mechanism. It just hangs from two ell brackets that are welded to the rack.

I don't know why you would want to. They do lock, so the cart doesn't move. I really like mine.

As far as I know there is not a locking hitch pin for it because you have to screw it in. It does not just slide in like most hitch pins. Maybe you could just lock the rack onto the hitch with a cable.

The rack does not have a quick release lever. It uses a hex screw which would be an extra step.
