Middle Atlantic MDV-CK Caster Kit

The Middle Atlantic MDV-CK Caster Kit is a purpose-built mobility solution designed for MDV-R12 racks. This complete kit makes your rack easy to move for service, cleaning, or reconfiguration without sacrificing stability or alignment. Included are four durable wheels, two sturdy metal caster saddles, and all mounting hardware necessary for a secure bolt-on installation. By adding 1/2" to the overall height, the MDV-CK preserves the rack’s footprint while granting the flexibility you need in dynamic AV, broadcast, or IT spaces. Engineered for reliable performance, this caster kit ensures smooth, confident movement of your MDV-R12 enclosure, whether you’re in a studio, control room, data center, or classroom environment.

• All-in-one caster solution: The MDV-CK Caster Kit provides a complete mobility upgrade for your MDV-R12 rack. It includes four rugged wheels, two metal caster saddles, and the mounting hardware you need—so you won’t have to source separate components. This integrated package simplifies procurement and installation, helping you move quickly from setup to service with confidence.
• MDV-R12 compatibility: Specifically designed to fit Middle Atlantic MDV-R12 racks, the caster kit maintains the rack’s structural integrity and alignment. The tailored fit ensures that wheel placement and saddle mounting align with the rack’s bottom framework, preserving cable management, airflow, and accessibility while still delivering effortless mobility.
• Controlled height increase: Adding 1/2" to the overall height, the MDV-CK gives your enclosure more ground clearance for cables, airflow, and room to maneuver around furniture and equipment. This modest height addition helps reduce the risk of snagging cables on obstacles and makes it easier to slide the rack without tilting or binding.
• Durable construction with reliable mounting: The kit uses robust components, including metal caster saddles for secure anchoring and mounting hardware that stands up to regular relocation. The result is a stable, long-lasting mobility solution that performs as part of a professional-grade rack system rather than a temporary add-on.
• Effortless relocation and serviceability: With four wheels and a solid saddle system, you can reposition your MDV-R12 rack to access rear panels, reconnect cables, or reconfigure a room layout with minimal downtime. The MDV-CK makes routine maintenance, room reconfiguration, and equipment upgrades simpler and faster, maximizing uptime and reducing workflow interruptions.

How to Install Middle Atlantic MDV-CK Caster Kit

Installing the MDV-CK Caster Kit is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize stability. Follow these general steps to add mobility to your MDV-R12 rack:

• Prepare the workspace and verify that you have all kit components: four wheels, two caster saddles, and the mounting hardware. Inspect each piece for any visible damage before beginning installation.
• Position the two metal caster saddles along the bottom frame of the MDV-R12 rack in the recommended locations. Align the saddles with existing mounting points to ensure an even, balanced setup once the wheels are attached.
• Attach the caster saddles to the MDV-R12 rack using the provided mounting hardware. Tighten fasteners securely to prevent any movement of the saddles during relocation.
• Mount the four wheels to the saddles, ensuring each wheel is firmly seated and rotates freely. Check for smooth operation by rolling the rack lightly in a controlled manner to confirm even contact with the floor and proper alignment.
• Test the assembled rack for stability and clearance. Ensure that all connections are secure, cables have adequate slack for movement, and the added height does not interfere with nearby equipment, access doors, or ventilation paths.
