This rack does not appear to have any lifting handles. Is this a problem?

Not really. I use jar lifters to get my jars in and out of the water. The rack works pretty well, I just wish the rings the jars sit on were closer. I have had problems with half pints shifting and staying in place during canning.

It is not a problem for me because I use a special jar lifter to bring the jars out one at a time. Lifting all those boiling hot jars all at once could be dangerous.

I use this only when double stacking jars, and then I use the jar tongs to remove jars. It works fine for that, but I ended up buying one with lifting handles for when I do a single layer of jars, much easier. If I were you, I would just get the lifter style basket with handles..

Why would you need a lifter to take out all the jars at one time. I have been burned more than once by jars slipping off the rack while lifting. Personally, I prefer to take the jars out individually with a jar lifter than trying to take all of them out at once.

It doesn't have handles so I just use my jar lifter to take the jars out one at a time It really hasn't been a problem for me.

I just use the jar lifter to put them in and take them out. I bought this rack because my small jars kept falling through the other one with the lifters. They do not fall through this one.

It does have a rack. It's a bit high but ok. And I did get the repairs done at no cost. It took a couple of weeks

Good question, that info didn't come with the rack. I bought 2 of them and use them frequently. You'll have to contact the manufacture.

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

It does not require assembly; however look at the close up picture of the top of the rack. The knob piece that looks like it is missing...really is...there is a open square hole.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

no idea about the rack, but on my rack no additional assembly/hardware was required. You just pull out the 2 handles on either side of the bottom of the basket (one is visible in the photo), position the basket, and release the handles to clamp it on to the rack. In the photo shown the carry handle would be right behind the seat of the bike.

You need to go to their website and verify before you buy, there may be a link to it on Amazon where the rack is described

It has grips on the sides that are handles. This is too big to lift from the top.

i think u must not have the bars in place correctly that balance the two racks. there are no pictures of them on the directions. the two bars that have black plastic on either side go between the racks to balance them.to order replacement parts just call the number on the instruction paper that came with the item.

I have the same question. It certainly doesn't look like it by the picture. All I see is the raised handles. One person says yes it does and the other says no. Which is it?

The upper part of the rails slide off - you have to push the buttons on the side of the rails - like you will to adjust the height after you have put it together. It is unfortunate there are no instructions with the rack. Hope it helps!

no. I didn't notice anything on the side accept grips (slats) to enable someone to carry it, turn it over and be able to do planks and push ups.

I did not assemble my unit myself. So I do not know the answer. My friend did it for me because it arrived while I was gone. He said it was very simple. But simple can be a relative term. I do know that the rack on one side is meant to be lower than the rack on the other side. They are not the same height, in case that is hopeful.

Mine doesn't rock at all, so I don't think that is normal. I'm assuming you have the yellow piece with the red button attached so it is secured to the rack, but other than not am not sure what else you should do.

There are little mounting plates already assembled on the rear of the rack; however, I don't remember seeing any included nails/screws, so you'll probably need to provide those yourself.

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