Tripp Lite by Eaton 2U ABS Server Rack Equipment Shipping Case
engineered for professionals who demand reliable protection and seamless mobility for rack-mount gear, the Tripp Lite by Eaton 2U ABS Server Rack Equipment Shipping Case is the rugged solution you need during moves, setups, and on-site migrations. Built around a heavy-duty ABS shell, this smartflight case is designed to withstand the bumps and drops that come with transporting critical IT and network equipment. Its 2U height is specifically tailored to accommodate standard 19-inch rack equipment, including servers, switches, patch panels, and related infrastructure, without forcing you to compromise on space or security. The SRCASE2U emphasizes stability and alignment with four stationary mounting rails that provide a solid foundation for gear during transit, ensuring that components stay in their rails and do not shift, tilt, or rack-mout during movement. From data centers in transition to field service operations, this shipping case combines durability, portability, and practicality to help you move equipment with confidence. In short, it’s a purpose-built transport solution that prioritizes equipment integrity, ease of handling, and repeatable performance across multiple deployments.
- Durable ABS construction for rugged transport: The SRCASE2U is crafted from heavy-duty ABS plastic, chosen for its impact resistance, light weight, and resilience in varied environments. This protective shell shields delicate components from real-world hazards such as vibration, shocks, dust, and moisture encountered during shipping and on-site relocations. The molded exterior features reinforced edges and robust corners to absorb impact forces that commonly occur when cases are stacked, loaded, or transported in crowded loading docks. By combining strength with a relatively light footprint, the case reduces fatigue on operators while preserving the integrity of sensitive rack equipment over many moves.
- 2U height with 19-inch rack compatibility: Designed to house EIA-standard 19-inch rack equipment, this case delivers a precise fit for servers, routers, switches, and patch panels that conform to industry-standard mounting widths. The 2U form factor makes it a compact yet capable transport solution, enabling you to transport essential gear without unnecessary bulk. This compatibility ensures you can move equipment between data centers, labs, and temporary deployments without having to reconfigure or repackage gear for a different rack footprint. The combination of 2U height and standard rack rails supports a broad range of IT infrastructure, making it a versatile choice for technicians and engineers who often switch between environments.
- Four stationary mounting rails for secure gear mounting: The SRCASE2U features four stationary mounting rails that provide sturdy, fixed support for installed equipment. These rails are designed to align with standard rack gear and keep items firmly in place during transport, preventing shifting or sagging that could otherwise lead to misalignment or damage. The fixed rails help maintain electrical and data integrity by preserving connector alignment and minimizing the risk of loose cables during handling. The rail design simplifies rack installation and removal, letting technicians slide equipment into place with confidence and minimal effort.
- Practical features for professional use and reuse: Beyond its core construction, this shipping case is designed for repeated cycles of use in demanding environments. It accommodates the typical workflow of IT professionals who need to move gear from rack to truck, staging area to data center, or one job site to another. Ergonomic considerations, such as comfortable handling points and balanced mass distribution, help reduce fatigue during loading and unloading. The ABS shell resists surface wear and helps maintain a professional appearance over time, even with frequent use. The case is built to be reused across projects, a cost-effective choice for teams with ongoing relocation or deployment needs.
- Versatile, ready-to-use transport for IT and AV gear: Whether you’re migrating servers during a data-center refresh, transporting networking hardware to a remote site, or shipping critical equipment to a client, this 2U ABS server rack shipping case delivers reliable performance. Its rugged construction, standard rack compatibility, and secure interior layout make it a practical asset for data centers, value-added resellers, field technicians, and AV professionals who require a dependable enclosure for transit. The case is optimized to minimize downtime and simplify the logistics of moving delicate rack-mount equipment from one location to another, preserving hardware integrity and reducing the risk of on-site setup delays.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 2U ABS Server Rack Equipment Shipping Case
- Step 1: Place the empty shipping case on a stable surface and inspect for any visible damage or obstructions in the lid area. Ensure the interior is clean and free of debris that could affect gear seating.
- Step 2: Open the case and confirm that the four stationary mounting rails are aligned and ready to receive equipment. If necessary, adjust or position accessories following standard rack installation practices to ensure proper alignment.
- Step 3: Prepare your rack-mount equipment by attaching any removable rack ears or mounting hardware as appropriate for a secure fit. Verify that each device matches the 19-inch width standard and that device heights fit within the available 2U space in the case.
- Step 4: Insert equipment into the case, guiding devices along the rails. Align connectors and cables with care to avoid bending or stressing cables, then slide equipment into position until it seats firmly against the rails and mounting points.
- Step 5: Secure the equipment to the rails using the appropriate fasteners or retention methods, close the lid, and engage any latches or locking features as required for transport. Check that the lid closes securely and that there is no if gear movement within the case when gently shaking the closed case. Prepare for transport by ensuring handles and corners are intact and that the case is ready for movement to the destination.
