A rack for rotatably mounting one or more wire dispensing spools. A set of four rollers extend horizontally between a pair of spaced parallel side walls and are positioned in a substantially square-shaped configuration and rotatably mount and retain the spools therebetween. Each roller includes a cylindrical low friction plastic sleeve mounted on a center support rod or axle. A plurality of spacers separate the sleeve into a plurality of sleeve sections allowing the spools to rotate independently of each other without affecting the rotation of adjacent spools. A top roller of each set is spring biased and moves horizontally within a pair of aligned slots formed in the spaced side walls allowing the spring biased roller to move horizontally toward and away from the other top roller of each set enabling the spools to be easily inserted or removed from the rack. Front and rear wheels and a handle allow the rack to be used as a cart to transport the spools and other equipment and materials to and from the work site. In a second embodiment the rack may be hand carried and contain only one four roller set.

A rack for rotatably supporting one or more spools including: a frame which includes at least two spaced side walls; a pair of spaced top rollers and at least one bottom roller spaced below said top rollers, said top and bottom rollers extending between the two side walls for holding at least one spool in a storage zone located between said rollers; spring means for biasing one of the top rollers towards the other of said top rollers; and means mounting the said one top roller for allowing said one top roller to move with respect to said other top roller and overcome the biasing of the spring means to change the spacing between said top rollers for inserting and removing a spool into and from the storage zone.
