We offer many quality hardwoods with clear or stained finishes and solid Maple with painted finishes. All hardwood species are premium grade. If density and weight are a concern, please see the Janka Hardness Scale. Finish charts can be found here. Also, samples can be ordered here.
Choose Depth
Select the overall depth of your rack, measured from the front edge to the back edge.
Please note this is the external depth, not the usable depth. The actual usable depth is determined by your chosen rack rail inset dimension, as explained in the section below.
Rack Rail Inset Dimension
This setting determines how far back from the front edge the rack rails are mounted.
Choosing a 1/8-inch inset positions your gear’s faceplates flush with the front of the rack. Selecting a 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch inset will recess the faceplates for a more protected look.
You can calculate usable depth by subtracting the inset from the overall rack depth. For example, a 12-inch deep rack with a 1/2-inch inset provides 11½ inches of usable depth behind the front rails.
Product schematics show dimensions based on a default 1/2-inch inset.
If you require a custom inset dimension not listed, simply note it in the comments at checkout. Custom rail insets are provided at no additional charge.
Cable Pass-Through Holes
Double and triple bay racks offer the option to add cable pass-through holes in the center divider panels. These D-shaped holes measure 3 inches tall by 1-7/8 inches wide, providing enough clearance to pass connectors such as DB-25 cables between bays.
Rear Rails
Select this option if you need rear rack rails installed. They provide essential support for heavier equipment or when mounting rear panels such as vent panels or I/O panels.
By default, the rear rails will match the same inset dimension as your front rails, unless you specify otherwise in the special instructions at checkout.
Carry Handles
We offer three handle options: surface-mount flip handles, recessed flip handles, and routed cutout handles. Both flip handle styles are spring-loaded, heavy-duty road case handles built for reliable transport.
Smaller racks are limited to surface-mount handles due to the larger cutout required for recessed versions. Our routed cutout handle is a rectangular opening measuring 4½ inches wide by 1½ inches tall.
All handles are centered on the side panels unless otherwise requested.
Important Note: Adding carry handles will remove the option for waveform venting on the side panels.
Choose Feet
This option adds non-marring rubber feet to the bottom of the rack. Each foot measures 1-1/8 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch tall. The feet are installed 1-1/2 inches in from each corner on the bottom panel.
Add Swivel Casters
Select this option to add heavy-duty swivel casters to your rack. All casters feature non-marring wheels, ball bearings, and a robust design.
The total weight capacity for the set of casters is shown in the drop-down menu on each product page.
Important Note: If your rack uses concealed casters, we will omit the rear apron from the base to allow access to the brakes.
Casters add approximately 3/4 inch to the overall height of the rack and stand 2-3/4 inches tall. Light-duty casters have a single-wheel design, while heavy-duty casters feature a double-wheel design.
Add Ventilation Slots in Side/Top Panels
We will determine the optimal size and placement of the waveform vents based on your specific rack model. In some cases, centering the waveform may not be ideal.
Important Note: If you choose to add carry handles on the side panels, the waveform venting option for the sides will no longer be available. You can still add waveform venting to the top panel.
Please note that this ventilation option is not available on Baltic Birch plywood due to potential surface veneer tear-out.
