A support rack is provided for releasably and securely holding and separately supporting a plurality of objects. The rack has a plurality of arms each of which is constructed to support a separate object such as an automobile frame. The arms of the rack are linked together such that when an object is placed on a first arm, a second arm is moved into position to receive the next object to be loaded onto the rack. When the next object is loaded onto the second arm, a third arm is moved into position to receive the next object to be loaded onto the rack, and so on. In addition to moving the succeeding arm into position to receive an object, when an object is loaded onto an arm a lock adjacent to the preceding arm is preferably also moved into a locking position securing the object on the preceding arm. For example, when an object is placed onto the second arm of the rack, the third arm is moved into position to receive an object as described above and a lock adjacent the first arm is simultaneously moved to its locking position to secure an object on the first arm.
