@Vineeth N Your frame should be 1 3D object and the parts that can move in the rack should be another 3D object. Then you can put the moving parts in the rack. You can put separate objects in the rack or (better) you can use the Animation creator to add those parts as components to your objects. Then you can either define an animation for the parts or you can create your own kinematics for every part
