Elevate the functionality and aesthetics of your ERK Series rack with Middle Atlantic’s Caster Base. Designed to bolt to the bottom of 28 inch deep ERK racks, this skirted base hides the wheels for a clean, professional look while providing robust mobility when needed. With pre-installed wheels, a generous 700 lb weight capacity, and a construction that protects floors, this caster base is a smart upgrade for any live environment where equipment moves between locations or needs quick reconfiguration.

• Skirted design for a clean look: The skirted caster base conceals the wheels, delivering a sleek, professional appearance that’s ideal for client-facing spaces, studios, or anywhere a neat rack presentation matters. By hiding the casters, cables and components remain in view while the base maintains a polished silhouette beneath the ERK Series rack.
• Secure bolt-on installation: This base is engineered to bolt to the bottom of ERK Series rack systems, ensuring a stable foundation and consistent alignment with your existing setup. The bolt-on design simplifies integration with your current rack configuration, enabling a secure, long-lasting connection that won’t shift during transport.
• Adds height for easier access and cable management: Skirted caster bases add 3-3/4" to the overall rack height, creating additional clearance beneath the rack for cabling, ventilation, or floor-access needs. This extra height can help with routing cables and avoiding congestion around the base of your rack footprint.
• Pre-installed wheels and floor-friendly materials: Each base arrives with its wheels pre-installed for immediate use. The wheels are designed for fine floor surfaces, providing smooth mobility without scratching or marring delicate flooring. The use of synthetic rubber further protects floors while offering quiet, reliable rolling performance under load.
• High-capacity, reliable performance: With a 700 lb weight capacity, this caster base supports heavy equipment loads typical of professional AV, IT, or studio environments. The combination of robust wheels, a durable skirted shell, and a secure bolt-on interface ensures dependable movement and stability during transport and positioning.
