Middle Atlantic 5WLR – Locking Fine-Floor Caster Kit, Slim 5

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5WLR is a set of four fine-floor casters that bolts to the bottom of all Slim 5 and ERK series rack systems. The kit includes two locking and two non-locking casters with a 700 lb. weight capacity, adding 3-7/8 inches to overall cabinet height. Synthetic rubber wheels protect hardwood, tile, and other fine flooring from marks and gouges. It is the right caster choice when a loaded equipment rack has to move across finished floors without leaving evidence behind.

Product Description

Service access is one of the most overlooked details in rack planning. A fully loaded Slim 5 rack pushed into a credenza or equipment closet is difficult to cable, test, and maintain unless it can roll out for rear access. The 5WLR locking caster kit solves that problem while answering the objection that usually kills rolling racks in residential and corporate projects: floor damage. Each of the four casters is constructed from synthetic rubber specifically to protect fine flooring, so integrators can specify a mobile rack in rooms with hardwood, stone, or polished concrete.

Installation is a bolt-on operation. The kit attaches directly to the bottom of any Slim 5 or ERK series rack, and the casters are sized to fit within a skirted base for installations where the wheels should stay hidden. Two of the four casters lock, holding the rack stationary once it is rolled into final position so connected equipment is not strained by drift or accidental movement. With a 700 lb. capacity, the set handles a Slim 5 rack loaded with amplifiers, power conditioning, and source gear with margin to spare. Plan for the added 3-7/8 inches of height when verifying clearance under counters or inside millwork. Find compatible Middle Atlantic racks and accessories at Creation Networks.
