Middle Atlantic CBS Series Caster Base for WRK Series Racks - 27in Depth

The CBS-WRK-27 caster base is a purpose-built accessory engineered for Middle Atlantic WRK Series racks with a 27-inch depth. Designed to fit inside the rack framework, this base adds mobility without compromising stability or overall footprint. By integrating into the interior structure, the caster base helps maintain the clean sightlines and professional look that a WRK rack deserves while preserving the alignment between equipment bays and cable pathways. With a focus on stability and low profile, the CBS-WRK-27 delivers a practical solution for studios, mastering suites, post facilities, and AV installations where both mobility and a solid, stable rack are essential.

• Inside-fit design for discreet integration — The caster base is engineered to sit within the WRK rack interior, minimizing external protrusion and preserving the rack’s established appearance. This discreet inside-fit helps maintain clean lines, reduces potential snag points, and keeps cables and equipment aligned with existing rails. The result is a seamless addition that doesn’t alter the visual footprint of your rack while still delivering the mobility you need.
• Low-profile stability with minimal height increase — The CBS-WRK-27 increases the overall rack height by only 1 inch. This careful height management preserves access to equipment at the front and rear while maintaining a stable center of gravity. It’s an ideal solution for environments where ceiling clearance, rack-mounted lighting, or ceiling-mounted cabling angles are part of the installation plan.
• Specifically designed for 27-inch deep WRK Series racks — Tailored to the WRK Series lineup, the caster base ensures compatibility with the unique dimensions and rail spacing of these racks. The precise fit supports consistent mounting geometry and reliable performance, reducing installation time and ensuring a snug, secure placement within the rack cavity.
• Inner design that promotes a low, stable profile — The caster base features an interior geometry intended to keep the rack as low and stable as possible. This thoughtful construction minimizes wobble and movement when the rack is moved or repositioned, helping protect delicate electronics and maintain cable organization during relocation or reconfiguration.
• Enhances mobility without altering external footprint — By sitting inside the rack and adding only a nominal height, the CBS-WRK-27 provides the ability to relocate or reconfigure WRK racks with ease while preserving the external dimensions you rely on for rack adjacency and installation planning. This balance of mobility and stability makes it well-suited for adaptable studio layouts and multi-rack setups.

How to install CBS-WRK-27

Installing the CBS-WRK-27 is a straightforward process designed to integrate smoothly with WRK Series racks. Begin by confirming that your rack is clearly identified as a WRK Series model with a 27-inch depth. This ensures optimal fit and performance when the caster base is inserted inside the rack cavity. With the rack positioned on a stable surface, gently insert the CBS-WRK-27 into the interior space, aligning the base with the internal rails or mounting points specified for WRK-27 configurations. Once seated, verify that the caster base rests evenly against the rack’s interior floor and that there are no gaps or binding points between the base and the rack walls. Finally, with the base in place, apply a slow, controlled push to roll the rack a short distance to test movement and stability. Check for level alignment across the rack and confirm that the overall height remains within the intended 1-inch increase. If necessary, re-seat the base to ensure a secure, wobble-free fit, and re-check cabling paths to maintain tidy cable management and access to ports.

Note: The CBS-WRK-27 is designed for internal installation within WRK Series racks. Do not rely on external casters or separate mounting hardware that could alter the intended clearance or balance. For best results, perform installation on a clean, level surface and with the rack fully empty of loose items that could obstruct alignment during seating.
