Middle Atlantic CBS-MRK-36R Fine Floor Caster Base for MRK Series 36" Depth Racks
Introducing a purpose-built foundation for professional AV and rack installations—the Middle Atlantic CBS-MRK-36R Fine Floor Caster Base. Engineered to precisely accommodate MRK Series racks with a 36" depth, this base delivers seamless integration, robust stability, and smooth mobility in studios, control rooms, broadcast environments, and live-event venues. Crafted from durable 11-gauge steel, the CBS-MRK-36R is designed to stand up to rigorous use while protecting floors and preserving the clean, organized aesthetics essential to high-performance workspaces. Whether you’re outfitting a portable broadcast rig, expanding a fixed-control room setup, or upgrading an existing MRK installation, this caster base provides a trusted, long-term solution that supports heavy equipment, simplifies repositioning, and helps maintain the structural integrity of your rack system. The result is a versatile platform that makes the difference between a reactive workflow and a reliably efficient, mobile infrastructure—so technicians can focus on the job, not the furniture moving process.
- The CBS-MRK-36R is purpose-built for MRK Series racks with a 36" depth, ensuring a precise fit that respects the rack’s footprint and alignment. This compatibility translates to straightforward installation and a clean, professional appearance in both fixed and transportable configurations. By aligning with the MRK system’s standards, the base minimizes gaps, uneven surfaces, and wobble, so racks stay secure during operation and repositioning alike. It’s an ideal choice for integrators who demand reliability without sacrificing workflow efficiency.
- Constructed from 11-gauge steel, the base delivers exceptional rigidity and durability for demanding environments. The heavy-duty steel platform resists flex under load, resists damage from bumps or scrapes, and retains its shape and strength over years of use. This material choice supports long-term service in busy control rooms, post-production suites, rehearsal spaces, and on-location setups where equipment may be relocated frequently. The robust construction also contributes to a solid feel when moving carts or stands, reinforcing user confidence during critical operations.
- Exacting dimensions ensure a snug, stable fit: 4.01" in height, 18.76" in width, and 31.74" in depth. These measurements are calibrated to integrate with MRK frames and their mounting footprints, helping to preserve a tidy, professional footprint in both new installations and upgrades. The precise footprint also simplifies cable management and equipment placement, reducing risk of interference with nearby devices, furniture, or wall structures and enabling smoother, safer handling around tight spaces.
- High load capacity—700 lbs—provides a comfortable safety margin for a wide range of rack-mounted equipment. Whether you’re moving a dense array of servers, audio processors, power distribution units, servers, or ancillary gear, this caster base supports heavy configurations while keeping equipment steady and balanced. A generous weight rating translates to flexibility in equipment choices and future-proofing for evolving rack configurations, so you can upgrade or reconfigure without overhauling the base.
- Mobility with floor protection: the fine floor caster base is designed to facilitate easy movement while distributing weight across a broad footprint. This design minimizes point loading on sensitive floor surfaces and reduces the risk of scuffing, gouging, or indentations. In addition to smoother rolling on clean floors, the base contributes to safer, more efficient workspace handling—allowing technicians to reposition racks during setup, maintenance, and on-the-fly reconfigurations without compromising floor care or equipment stability.

How to install CBS-MRK-36R
To install the CBS-MRK-36R, begin by preparing the MRK rack system and a clear, clean work area. Position the caster base so that its footprint aligns with the MRK rack’s bottom outline and mounting footprint. If applicable, align the base with any feet or mounting points provided by the MRK framework, ensuring even contact across the base’s surface. Once alignment is confirmed, secure the base per your facility’s standard installation practices or per the MRK system’s recommended mounting procedures, using appropriate hardware. After securing, verify that the caster base is level and stable, with no side-to-side wobble. Roll the assembly gently to confirm smooth operation on the floor surface and check for any interference with cabling, power cords, or adjacent equipment. Finally, load the rack within the recommended 700 lb limit and perform routine checks on fasteners and wheels to maintain optimal performance over time. Regular inspections will help ensure longevity and continued protection of both equipment and floors in dynamic environments.
