A support for casks includes a base structure containing four feet, four frames, and at least two crosspieces. The frames include two upwardly divergent lower tubes, and two vertical upper tubes. Each of the vertical upper tubes is connected to an end portion of one of the upwardly divergent lower tubes. The feet are adapted to rest on a ground surface or on another of the supports. Each of the frames is joined to one of the feet, and the upper tubes are perpendicular to a plane defined by an upper surface of the feet. A first pair of frames is situated in a first plane and secured to each other by an adjacent pair of vertical tubes. A second pair of frames is situated in a second plane, which is parallel to the first plane. The second pair of frames is connected to the first pair by the crosspieces.
