More Info on Groves, Inc./Ready Rack

Ready Rack developed the original open-air racking system designed to store garments and light equipment and today offers an extensive portfolio of patented products. A few years ago, the company launched its Health and Wellness line of equipment and products focusing on decontamination. In addition to selling a variety of extractors and cabinet dryers, Ready Rack recently introduced its proprietary line of Decon Ready™ decontamination products. As the US distributor for Pacific Helmets, Ready Rack has recently expanded its lineup to include Wildland and Technical Rescue helmets to augment the traditional line of protective helmets.

Many Ready Rack distributors are firefighters who often work as expert sales consultants for our line of storage solutions, health and wellness products, Decon Ready™ decontamination solutions and Pacific Helmets. Our business plan allows these heroes to earn extra income for their families while providing our customers with real hands-on product knowledge.

Located in Woodstock, Illinois, Ready Rack has been designing, engineering and assembling fire service products for over forty years. We are committed to the highest manufacturing and quality standards both in-house and through our team of fully vetted manufacturers and suppliers, all to better meet our customer’s changing needs.
