Abstract: Five gallon water bottles for refilling water coolers are stored on a hand truck and on the floor of a user's facility employing three racks. A lower rack stores eight bottles in staggered arrays to be carried by a conventional hand truck. An intermediate rack is formed by bonding a duplicate of the lower rack to a duplicate of the upper top rack. The or rack has bottle supports and dividers for supporting the bottles in the staggered array. The intermediate rack has a lower rack portion the same as the top rack with cylindrical depending members for receiving the necks and spouts of the bottles on the lower rack. The top rack has the depending members for receiving the necks and spouts of the bottles on the intermediate rack. The intermediate rack upper potion is the same as the lower rack for receiving an upper array of bottles. The racks have depending ribs which engage each other in the intermediate rack and wherein the lower rack ribs engage the hand truck support platform rails to preclude shifting of the racks during transport. A total of sixteen bottles are carried. In another embodiment, all three racks are identical and similar to the intermediate rack of the first embodiment, except formed molded as one piece.
