Middle Atlantic RIB-2-DRK-36 2-Bay DRK Series Riser Base
Overview
The RIB-2-DRK-36 is a two-bay riser base built specifically for Middle Atlantic DRK series rack systems. At 36 inches deep and just 2.5 inches tall, it elevates a paired DRK bay configuration off the floor — providing cable routing clearance underneath and a stable, level foundation for equipment-loaded racks in control rooms, NOC environments, and security operations centers. If you're building a multi-bay DRK installation and need a finished base that keeps the footprint tight while gaining underfloor access, this is the correct piece.
Compatibility
Designed for the Middle Atlantic DRK rack series exclusively — the 'DRK' series designation in the model number is the key qualifier. Spans two side-by-side DRK bays at a combined width of 60.03 inches (152.5 cm), matching the dual-bay footprint precisely. Verify your DRK bay count and depth before ordering: this base accommodates 36-inch-deep DRK frames. If your DRK racks are a different depth (24-inch or 42-inch), you will need the corresponding RIB-2-DRK depth variant. Not compatible with Middle Atlantic ERK, WRK, or FRK rack families — base geometry and mounting points differ by series.
Installation Notes
The 2.5-inch height gain is fixed — factor this into total rack elevation when planning cable tray heights or overhead cable management clearances. At 60.03 inches wide, confirm doorway and aisle clearances before moving an assembled two-bay DRK system on this base into a finished room. The 36-inch depth matches standard 36D DRK frames; the base must be installed on a flat, level surface — any floor deflection across a 60-inch span will stress the rack uprights.
