Each jack stand includes a rectangular bottom plate having a pair of rectangular openings therein. The rack has a rectangular platform having a lateral loading side, a width a little larger than the jack-stand-length, and a length equal to a multiple of the jack stand widths. A plurality of L-shaped fingers are located on the platform at points corresponding to the opening in the bottom plate, and extends upwardly and laterally toward the non loading side of the platform. Each finger has a rectangular upper surface thereon having a width and length slightly smaller than the width and length of the openings in the bottom plates; and creates an opening between the platform and the finger that is slightly greater that the thickness of the bottom plates of the jack stands. Each finger is for receiving one of the rectangular openings of the respective bottom plate onto the platform; and a lateral movement of the bottom plate in the direction of the lateral loading side of the platform is for locking the bottom plate under the respective finger and onto the platform of the mobile rack. The rack includes a pair of wheels attached to the rearward end of the platform, so that the platform engages the horizontal surface when the forward end of the platform is horizontal, and so that the pair of wheels engage the horizontal surface when the forward end of the platform is lifted at an acute angle.
