I inadvertantly tested ?measuring 4¡¯w x 18¡±d x 72¡±h with large HD casters by overloading it with books stacked vertically, a row of stacks on each side of the shelving unit. The shelves distorted a bit. But I went to roll it, one of the caster threaded inserts broke through the leg pipe. So, yes, pas attention to shelf loading and caster loading.
Nothing really bad happened. I was able to block up the end with broken leg until I coukd unload the books. I¡¯ll have to get a new leg and threaded insert. For now, it¡¯s glued back together with JB Weld.

I'd be concerned about the weight.? Audio gear tends to be a lot lighter than microwave gear.? They were throwing away some 19 inch server racks at work a month ago or so, and I would have grabbed one, but I figured it wouldn't hold the weight of my stuff.? Be careful and stay safe, both physically and biologically.?

Subject: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Racks for older equipment
I have a bunch of old HP and other equipment and am using a Tek scope stand for some of it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about rolling stands for TE, Do the rolling racks?that musicians use for their audio equipment work well enough? They are 19 inch racks.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
