Sturdy steel 42U rack for server rooms

This 42U two-post server rack is built from heavy-gauge steel and ships with four swivel casters for mobility around a server room, office or studio. It provides an open frame with square mounting holes that accept ANSI/EIA RS-310-D compliant network, telecom and A/V equipment. The frame meets DIN 41491, IEC 60297 and EIA-310 standards for broad compatibility.

Suits mobile open-frame installs.

Installers who need a freestanding rack that can be repositioned without concrete mounting will benefit from the caster set and 300 kg static load rating. Buyers who require lockable side panels, front doors or a deeper four-post chassis for heavier hardware should consider a different form factor. The open design also offers no physical security or airflow containment.

42U height and 660 lb static capacity decide fit

The rack delivers 42 rack units of vertical space and a tested static loading capacity of 660 lb (300 kg), which determines how much equipment it can safely hold. Included hardware comprises 30 M6 screws, 26 M6 nuts, 16 caster screws and the four 2-inch casters (two locking). No shelves, cable managers or power distribution units are supplied.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount standard does the 42U frame follow so my existing ANSI/EIA RS-310-D equipment fits without extra hardware?

The vertical rails are drilled to the ANSI/EIA RS-310-D pattern with square mounting holes, so compliant servers, switches and telecom gear bolt straight in.

Will the 300 kg static load rating still hold if I keep older, heavier telecom units on the lower U spaces?

Yes, the heavy-gauge steel frame is rated for 300 kg static loading regardless of where the weight sits within the 42U height.

After bolting the included M6 hardware and locking the two heavy-duty casters, how do I confirm the rack is stable and level?

Verify all 30 M6 screws and 26 M6 nuts are tight, engage both locking casters, then check that the frame does not rock on the four swivel casters.
