A good point, especially for wooden floors.

No worries on my part though as I have a steel framed house with very strong floors. Being in Japan, the building is rated for the big earthquakes we get here so a rack is easy work for the structure. :) On Thu, Apr 2, 2020 at 05:52 AM, Matt Corbett wrote:
You guys already know this, but just in case: an important consideration in rack mounting your gear is the weight that the floor can support.? With some of the taller racks filled with equipment, you will have hundreds of kgs. of weight.? As an extreme (and fabricated) example, a common 7 foot (44U) rack could physically accommodate eleven HP8664A signal generators.? At 35kg each, these generators would weigh a total of 385 kg. (850 lbs.) -- and this doesn't including the weight of the rack itself, and any mounting accessories.? Be safe, everyone! |
