Benefits
Why Exploration Companies Choose Korax
Durable Steel Construction
Welded and bolted steel construction provides a durable, long-term alternative to temporary wooden core storage.
Fast & Simple Assembly
Each rack can be assembled in approximately 8–10 minutes, with no specialized tools required.
Efficient Transportation
Disassembled, manageable components make Korax systems practical to transport by truck, trailer or aircraft, including to remote exploration sites.
Configurable to
Your Project
Manufactured in different configurations and heights, including 48″ and 72″, to accommodate individual project requirements.
Modular &
Scalable
Racks can be installed side-by-side or end-to-end, allowing storage capacity to expand alongside your exploration or drilling program.
Engineered
Stamped Drawings
Supplied with engineered stamped drawings, providing documented engineering for your core storage infrastructure.
Portable or Stationary. One Modular System.
Built to Move
Portable Core Racks
Designed for exploration programs where transportation, rapid deployment and flexibility matter. Components ship disassembled and can be transported to remote project locations for assembly on site.
Built to Stay
Stationary Core Storage
Create organized, permanent core storage by connecting Korax racks side-by-side and end-to-end. Systems can be configured for larger core storage facilities as requirements grow. Optional trusses can also be incorporated to create roofed or enclosed storage structures for demanding climates.
Built to Grow
From a Few Racks to a Complete Facility
One of the biggest advantages of the Korax system is scalability. Start with the storage capacity your current drill program requires and add additional racks as your core inventory grows. Modular configurations allow Korax systems to support everything from smaller exploration programs to large, long-term core storage facilities.

Testimonials
Honest Reviews from
our Customers
David Gower
Noranda Exploration Company
“We find them to be very sturdy and cost effective. In particular we find their ease of assembly to be very convenient (10 minutes to erect). Storage of the unassembled core racks consumes very little space in our warehouse, and I would not hesitate to order more when our current inventory of racks is filled.”
J.A. Sauerbrei
Inco Gold Management Inc.
“We particularly like this core storage system because of its light weight and portability for field use.”
J. Langelaar
Norontex Exploration Ltd.
“Material and construction of the racks are excellent, whereas assembly is very fast: generally less than 15 minutes. In my opinion, there is not a comparable rack on the market which provides storage of core on the basis of ‘cost-per-foot’ cheaper than the Korax System.”
