Includes four casters, two machined aircraft aluminum extrusions, and mounting hardware installed on the case bottom

  • Foam cushioning. To transport non-rackmountable equipment, we custom-design protective foam linings and inserts. Hardigg cushioning systems are available in polyethylene (firmer) and polyurethane (softer) foams. Antistatic versions are also available. This option is a major element in equipping double-lid cases used to transport workstations
  • Frame option rack extension — 1/8" wider. Used when extra clearance is necessary, usually to accommodate slides. Requires slotted mounting holes in attaching bezel of equipment to be mounted

Humidity indicator. Indicates 20%, 30%, and 40% relative humidity ranges. Three-part face changes color when inside humidity exceeds the indicated level. As humidity decreases, the indicator resets for future use. Recommended for airtight cases only.

(77 Kg) of packaged equipment, sixteen elastomeric shock mounts are used instead of the standard eight. Vertical metal wall stiffeners are added to the case body to retain dimensional control of the two openings and ensure that the covers can easily go back on the case body and latch properly. Four delta lifting/tie-down rings are also installed to provide mechanical lift accessibility.

Rack slides. These compact solid-bearing steel slides may be used to mount equipment directly into rack, or to mount drawers or shelves. Sold in pairs. Available in standard duty, 85 pound capacity.
