How to install SKB 20" Deep 8U Roto Shockmount Rolling Rack
Setting up your SKB rolling rack starts with preparing compatible 19" rack-mountable equipment. If your gear uses rack rails, attach the rails securely inside the case following your gear’s standard installation method, ensuring proper alignment with the external face of the rack. Begin with placing heavier units toward the bottom to maintain stability and minimize top-heavy tipping during transport. Use the appropriate rack screws or hardware to fasten each item to the rails, leaving sufficient space for cabling and cooling airflow.
Plan your layout to optimize weight distribution and cable management. Route power, audio, video, and control cables neatly to avoid tension or strain on connectors. If the case interior includes an accessory rack or mounting points, utilize them to secure patch panels, power strips, or other peripherals. After all equipment is mounted, reclose the lid. Engage the black twist latches and lock the loops if your case includes lockable hardware to deter accidental opening during transit.
For transport, roll the rack using the low-profile pull handle and the integrated wheels. Check the load balance and walk slowly to your destination, avoiding sudden stops or rough terrain that could shift equipment. When stacking multiple SKB cases, align edges and secure with compatible stacking configurations to maximize space and minimize movement on stage or in a trailer. Periodically inspect latches and wheels for wear and tighten hardware as needed to maintain peak performance.
