Rack Cases

Rack Cases have been used all over the world for many years in order to transport and protect all kinds of rack mounted equipment, especially electronics equipment such as audio and visual systems.

This type of case has a standardised set of measurements that's internationally recognised – the width of all rack cases is set to 19”, whilst the height is measured in ‘units' (U), each unit of measurement is 44.5mm (1.752”) in height and can be built in multiples thereof. The depth of a Rack Case can be entirely customised and made to measure based on your requirements, be sure to consider any other additional components such as wiring at the back of electronics units when measuring up.

Manufactured from a combination of extruded aluminium, plastic astroboard and 7-10mm thick wooden panelling, SAM Cases solutions are constructed from optimum materials to meet the most strenuous of expectations. Rack Cases can be manufactured in a range of different configurations in order to suit your practicality requirements, some examples of configurations include:

Rack Box

A simple solution for smaller equipment that doesn't require mounting to an inner sleeve.

  • Single detachable door
  • Side located handles
  • Can be fitted with castor wheels

Shock-Mounted

  • Detachable front and rear doors
  • Custom located handles
  • Options to fit castor wheels
  • Rubber shock absorbing mounting points between sleeve and case

Foam-Suspended

As an alternative to Shock-Mounted Cases, Foam-Suspended cases consist of the inner sleeve being mounted inside protected foam strips for shock absorption and cushioning.

  • Inner sleeve protected and suspended inside foam strips
  • Detachable front and rear doors
  • Castor wheel options
  • Handles at multiple locations
