Middle Atlantic WRK-44-32LRD 44U 32-Inch Deep Gangable Floor Rack

Overview

The Middle Atlantic WRK-44-32LRD is a 44-space (77-inch usable height), 32-inch deep open-frame floor-standing rack designed for high-density equipment deployments where rear-door access is unnecessary and side-by-side (gangable) expansion is the priority. At 30.75 inches of usable depth, the WRK-44-32LRD accommodates deep servers, UPS units, patch panels, and AV infrastructure without forcing cable-management compromises. The 19-inch panel width and 10-32 rack rail threading are fully standard, so any off-the-shelf rackmount gear drops straight in. UL-listed load capacity is 2,500 lbs — enough for a fully loaded 44U chassis — while the manufacturer's stated weight capacity reaches 10,000 lbs, giving structural headroom for stacked or anchored configurations. TAA-compliant and manufactured in the USA, this rack qualifies for federal procurement without an exception request.

Compatibility

The WRK-44-32LRD fits any 19-inch EIA-standard rackmount equipment: 1U–4U servers, NVRs, KVM switches, fiber patch panels, power distribution units (PDUs), and AV matrix switchers. The 10-32 threaded rail accepts standard 10-32 cage nuts and rack screws used across virtually all commercial rackmount hardware. The gangable design means multiple WRK units can be bolted side-by-side to form wider equipment bays — useful in control rooms, server closets, or broadcast racks where a single frame isn't wide enough. No rear door is included; if rear cable management or physical security at the back is required, specify a WRK variant with a rear door instead.

Installation Notes

Shipping weight is 161 lbs — plan for two-person installation or mechanical lift for maneuvering into final position. The rack is seismic-rated to ASCE 7-10 standards and UL-listed for seismic load capacity, which matters for California Title 24 and other jurisdictions requiring zone-rated anchorage. Verify your floor anchor hardware meets the applicable seismic zone rating before commissioning. No rear door means rear cable runs are fully open — route and dress cables before populating upper units to avoid access issues later.
