A storage and handling rack is disclosed for multiple excavator buckets, adapted to form a stable, single or multi-tiered structure for securing buckets. The stored buckets can be easily accessed by a forklift or excavator for adding or removing buckets from the rack. The rack secures the buckets in parallel sequence on load bearing shelves. The rack includes one or more tiers for retaining the buckets at different elevations. In this manner, variously sized and dimensioned buckets, which may have different functions, can be organized into designated tiers and sections of the rack. The rack is fabricated from multiple members that join together to support a plurality of buckets and minimize lateral movement, tensile forces, compressive forces, and instability for the rack.
