Middle Atlantic CBS Series Caster Base for ERK Series Racks
The CBS-ERK-25 caster base is a purpose-built accessory for Middle Atlantic’s ERK Series racks, engineered to deliver a seamless blend of mobility, durability, and visual polish. Designed to hide the wheels behind a sleek skirt, this base elevates the rack’s aesthetic to a professional, studio-ready standard while preserving essential functionality. By bolting directly to the bottom of the rack, it creates a stable, mobile solution that enhances accessibility, airflow, and cable management beneath the equipment. The 4-inch height increase is subtle enough to maintain ergonomic workflow in control rooms, broadcast suites, and performance spaces, yet substantial enough to clear obstructions and simplify service tasks. Whether you’re outfitting a compact audio-visual rig, a live production setup, or a corporate conference room installation, the CBS-ERK-25 adds a refined, purpose-driven touch that complements the rugged reliability of ERK Series racks. The skirted base protects and conceals the casters, reducing the risk of accidental contact with exposed wheels and contributing to safer, more efficient housekeeping in busy environments. With straightforward bolt-on installation and compatible design, this caster base integrates with existing ERK infrastructure, supporting consistent form, function, and professional presentation across your rack ecosystem.
