Containment racks for safely storing cylinders such as diving tanks, welding tanks, and medical tanks such as oxygen tanks, in vertical upright positions. A first version has a holder container for supporting up to six tanks in two rows of three tanks per row. Each of the tanks are held in cylindrical hollow supports having an open upper end for inserting an individual tank therein. Another version uses cylinders side by side to one another in a straight line, and a still another version has four cylinder holders in a rectangular configuration. The rack devices can be used in different combinations to store three, four, five, six, seven and eight cylinders at one time. The rack devices can be formed from materials such as plastics, resin, glass, composites, fiberglass, combinations thereof, and the like. Each of the rack versions can include rectangular frames about a mid central portion having through-holes therein for allowing the racks to be tied down when being used in pickup truck beds and boats. Drain holes can also be incorporated in the rack devices to drain excess water. The racks can be additionally used in homes and garages.
