I wouldn´t use a rack like that.
Having guinea pigs work for their food is fine, but hay should be easily available in my opinion and this rack doesn´t look as if that is the case there.

I had one similiar to that but it hung from the cage. It was a huge pain to put hay into it. For that reason alone I quit using it. However, it was pretty easy for the pig to eat the hay.

I have one like that too but don't use it that often. When I first got it, I was using Kaytee hay which has long stiff strands and it was really hard to fill the ball. Also the door won't stay shut so I have to close it with a twist tie. My girls seemed to like it though, and didn't have any trouble getting the hay out (I hung it on the cage), but it didn't hold much and I was always refilling it. When I switched to KM hay which is much softer, it was easier to fill, but my girls really seem to prefer a big pile of hay that they can lay in.

I have these:Amazon.com: Super Pet Rabbit Hay Manger Feeder with Salt Hanger: Pet Supplies
and for 1 or 2 piggies it's fine. It usually comes with a salt lick-just throw that away. They're unhealthy and unnecessary. I actually went to the dollar store and bought a small square bin that was lower in the front, and pile the hay in that. Then if I get meadow hay or something special, I'll put it in a rack like this.

Your best bet is a bent grid hay rack. If you have a C&C cage just take an extra grid or 2 or 3, bend it in half, and zip tie it to the wall of the cage. They hold lots of hay and keep (most of) the hay off of the floor.

I have a bunch of these ones from Trixie which is enough to hold hay for one or two pigs, but I bought quite a few so most cages have 2 in. Grids are super hard to find in South Africa (I've only found it at a China Mart 2 hours' drive from me and they were hellishly expensive) so this was a good option for me...
