Indoor stacking
3-high

A Sprinter 2 pre-sprouting rack can be stacked 3-high indoors, on a hard, flat surface. The height of the stack is 4.5 m.
A stack contains 3 x 1,400 kg = 4,200 kg.

If you already have an insulated shed, or can create one, this is an excellent way to store the potatoes. You can store your valuable seed potatoes in good condition from the end of December. This saves on costs for mechanical cooling. You can closely monitor your seed potatoes and decide to plant them when it suits you.

Outdoor stacking
2-high

A Sprinter2 pre-sprouting rack can be stacked 2-high outdoors. Always place the racks on a hard, flat surface.
The height of the stack is 3 m. A stack contains 2 x 4,200 kg. = 2,800 kg

Place the stacks 1 m apart so the wind and sunlight can harden off the potatoes well.
Place the racks in a north-south direction.
– Warm southerly winds will blow over the bags.
– As the sun moves, all the seed potatoes will receive the same amount of sunlight.
The naturally windiest position gives the best hardening off results. Move the pre-sprouting racks indoors if there is a risk of frost.

Storage presprouting racks
10 racks per stack

10 Empty pre-sprouting racks fit on a pallet. This is for 14 tonnes of seed potatoes. The empty pre-sprouting bags remain on the pre-sprouting rack. This saves you a lot of labour.
The folded pre-sprouting racks fit securely on top of each other. There are recesses on the connecting piece so that the empty racks cannot shift.
Stack a maximum of 2 complete stacks on top of each other. Store the empty bags in the dark.

Additional option
