🔨Individual safety chains per auger
📘 Overview
A Star Industries auger rack keeps auger bits organised, off the ground and out of the way of injury. The Drop-N-Go design is the point: augers store coupler-up, so a skid steer or mini excavator places the bit directly onto the rack rather than anyone lifting it by hand. Three models cover two capacities and two auger heights — the 160A-16 double-sided rack holds 10 augers in a 48 inch version and a 42 inch version, and the 160A-18 single-sided rack holds 8. Individual safety chains secure each auger to the pallet, and the rack stores augers with any size coupler.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries 160A Auger Rack
- The machine does the lifting, not a person — a 36 inch rock auger weighs 395 lb. Drop-N-Go means the skid steer or mini excavator sets it onto the rack coupler-up, which removes the single most common handling injury in an auger yard.
- Coupler-up storage means the next pickup is one motion — the drive comes down onto the coupler and lifts. Nothing gets rolled over, tipped up or manhandled into position first.
- Individual chains, not one strap over the lot — each auger is secured on its own, so removing the third bit does not release the other nine.
- Double-sided holds 10, single-sided fits against a wall — the 160A-16 is the yard rack; the 160A-18 is the one that goes down the side of a shop without losing floor space.
- 42 and 48 inch versions of the double-sided rack — matching rack height to auger length keeps the couplers at a consistent working height and stops shorter bits sitting too low to grab cleanly.

🔗 What the Auger Rack Holds
The rack stores augers with couplers of any size, which means one rack serves a mixed set of Star 160A bits — HDSF single flight dirt augers, 160A-R rock augers and the 160A-TP2 T-post auger all sit on the same pallet. Individual safety chains are supplied to secure each auger. The rack is free-standing and needs no anchoring, and a loaded rack is moved with a forklift when the yard is rearranged or the augers travel to a site.
🚜 Which Machines Load and Move the Auger Rack?
The Drop-N-Go design is intended for a skid steer, compact track loader or mini excavator carrying an auger drive — the machine lowers the bit onto the rack coupler-up and releases it, so no one lifts an auger by hand. A loaded rack is moved with a forklift. The rack itself has no mount and no hydraulics: it is a free-standing yard fixture that works alongside whatever machine your augers already run on.

|---|---|
| Loading | Skid steer, compact track loader or mini excavator with an auger drive |
| Moving a loaded rack | Forklift |
| Anchoring | None — free standing |

❓ Star Industries 160A Auger Rack Questions, Answered
What does Drop-N-Go mean on an auger rack?
On a drop n go auger rack, augers are stored coupler-up so the machine that runs them places them on the rack directly. The skid steer or mini excavator lowers the bit into position and releases the coupler. Nobody lifts the auger by hand, which is where auger yard injuries usually come from.
Which auger rack size should I choose?
The 160A-16 double-sided rack holds 10 augers and suits an open yard; it comes in a 48 inch version and a 160A-16-42 for 42 inch augers. The 160A-18 single-sided rack holds 8 and sits against a wall without losing floor space.
Will the rack hold augers with different couplers?
Yes. Star auger racks store augers with all size couplers, so one rack serves a mixed set — HDSF single flight dirt bits, 160A-R rock bits and the 160A-TP2 T-post auger together.
How are the augers secured?
Each auger has its own safety chain fixing it to the pallet. Individual chains rather than a single strap means removing one bit does not release the rest.
Does the auger rack need to be bolted down?
No. The rack is free standing and requires no anchoring. A loaded rack can be moved with a forklift when the yard is rearranged or the augers need to travel.
Why does auger height matter when choosing a rack?
Rack height sets where the coupler sits. Matching the rack to your auger length keeps couplers at a consistent working height so the drive engages cleanly. A 42 inch bit on a 48 inch rack sits low and is awkward to pick up.
Can I move the rack with augers loaded?
Yes, a loaded rack is designed to be moved with a forklift. That is a large part of why the rack exists — it turns a scattered set of heavy bits into one unit that travels together.
What warranty comes with the auger rack?
The Star Industries auger rack carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
