Middle Atlantic Set of 4 Locking Fine Floor Casters
Designed for professional rack environments, the Middle Atlantic Set of 4 Locking Fine Floor Casters delivers dependable mobility, floor protection, and a clean, professional appearance for Slim 5 racks. These casters bolt directly to the rack’s bottom for a secure, rigid foundation, while an optional skirted base conceals the hardware for a sleek, seamless look in client spaces or controlled environments. Available in both commercial-grade and fine-floor versions, these casters are built to handle daily movement in broadcasting, audio-visual, data center, and presentation setups. The standout feature is the Dynatread TPR soft rubber wheel, engineered to cushion impact, minimize noise, and guard delicate flooring—from finished wood to vinyl, tile, or carpet—without sacrificing maneuverability or load stability. Whether you need smooth, quiet rolls or a locked position for service and stabilization, this set provides the right balance of mobility and control.
Mobility is often a bottleneck in rack deployments: time spent repositioning, aligning, or servicing equipment can rack up costs and downtime. The Middle Atlantic casters address these concerns with a thoughtful design that prioritizes ease of installation, durability, and floor-care protection. The direct bolt-on option makes installation straightforward and repeatable, reducing installation time on-site. In spaces where exposed caster hardware is undesirable, the skirted-base concealment option preserves a clean aesthetic while maintaining full mobility when needed. The result is a versatile caster system that performs in demanding environments—from studio green rooms to data closets—without compromising on appearance or reliability.
- Direct bolt-on mounting for Slim 5 racks: These casters attach securely to the bottom of Slim 5 racks, delivering a stable, vibration-resistant platform for sensitive equipment. The robust mounting design minimizes deflection and wobble, ensuring consistent alignment for cable management, ventilation, and rack-based workflows even when moving heavy loads across uneven flooring.
- Concealed skirted-base option for a polished look: When aesthetics matter—such as in client-facing installations or broadcast suites—the skirted-base concealment hides the caster hardware beneath a clean, professional silhouette. You gain mobility without exposing mounting hardware, preserving a refined undercarriage while maintaining full, reliable movement.
- Fine-floor Dynatread TPR wheels protect delicate floors: The soft rubber wheel is engineered to cushion contact with delicate surfaces, reducing scuffing and wear on hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile. The Dynatread compound also contributes to quieter operation, helping keep environments distraction-free during critical productions, presentations, or quiet server rooms.
- Locking and non-locking options for control: Choose locking casters when you need immediate immobilization for service, precise alignment, or equipment stability, and opt for non-locking variants when frequent repositioning is part of the workflow. The locking mechanism engages securely to prevent unintended rolling on busy floors or during maintenance windows.
- Heavy-duty construction for long-term reliability: Built to withstand daily use in demanding professional environments, these four casters pair durable housings with high-grade components to deliver consistent performance over years of rack activity, relocations, and equipment upgrades. They’re designed to resist wear, corrosion, and impact, ensuring that mobility remains a constant benefit rather than a recurrent maintenance issue.

How to install Middle Atlantic Set of 4 Locking Fine Floor Casters
- Preparation: Power down any equipment as required and ensure the floor area around the rack is clear. Verify you have the correct caster type (locking vs. non-locking) and the skirted-base option if you plan to conceal the hardware.
- Positioning: With the rack on a stable surface, locate the mounting points on the bottom of the Slim 5 rack. If using the skirted-base option, prepare the skirted base first or as directed by the installation guide.
- Mounting: Align each caster with the corresponding mounting holes. Insert the mounting bolts through the caster base into the rack and tighten evenly to avoid misalignment. Use a torque recommended by the manufacturer to achieve secure, uniform clamping without over-tightening.
- Concealment (optional): If you’re using the skirted-base concealment, attach the casters to the skirted base per the provided instructions, then install the base to the rack system as a single, mobile unit.
- Verification: Roll the rack gently to confirm smooth rotation and verify that locking casters engage and disengage cleanly. Check for levelness and make any necessary adjustments to bolt tightness or base alignment before returning equipment to service.
