Rack Mount Cases

All Rack Cases feature:

Molded-in, tongue-in-groove gasketed parting lines for splash resistance and tight seals, even after impact

Reinforced corners and edges for additional impact protection

Aircraft-quality, tempered aluminum for less weight and more strength

Recessed hardware for extra protection

Positive anti-shear locks, which prevent lid separation after impact, and reduce stress on hardware

Molded-in ribs and corrugations for secure, non-slip stacking, columnar strength, and added protection

Permanent, uniform, molded-in color that won’t scrape off

Patented molded-in metal inserts for catch and hinge attachment points, which provide strength and spread loads to the container walls

Interference-fit spiral spring pins in each corner, for maximum structural integrity

One-piece body and lids, molded from lightweight, high-impact polyethylene

Meet ANSI/EIA-310-C standard for universal rack mounting hole pattern, and exceed ATA Specification 300, Category 1 requirements.

Many of our cases have been certified under various MIL-SPEC testing procedures, including fungus resistance, free fall drop, salt, fog, cargo bounce, submersion, temperature and humidity, vibration limits, and low pressure (altitude). The specifications below are among the most popular used for manufacturing and evaluating reusable containers.

Fragility Rating:

An item’s fragility is normally expressed in G’s—which is the measure of force exerted on an object by the force of gravity. Objects that can withstand greater G forces need less protection from shock and vibration.

For example, a piece of equipment with a fragility of 20 G’s will suffer damage when subjected to a force greater than 20 times that of Earth’s gravity. The fragility of an instrument or piece of equipment is usually determined by laboratory testing.
