APC Smart-ups RT Equipment Cart - SURT013

APC by Schneider Electric SURT013 Smart-UPS RT Equipment Cart

Overview

The SURT013 is a rolling equipment cart designed to mobilize APC Smart-UPS RT tower UPS systems, giving data center and facilities teams the ability to reposition heavy UPS units without floor-damaging improvised solutions. At 432 mm wide and 635 mm deep with an 89 mm platform height, it fits squarely under the Smart-UPS RT footprint, keeping the unit stable during moves across raised-floor environments or server room floors. The cart ships in black to match the APC Smart-UPS RT aesthetic. If you're working with UPS and power protection systems in a space where UPS units need periodic repositioning — during audits, rack layout changes, or hardware swaps — the SURT013 eliminates the need to dead-lift a unit that can exceed 150 lbs when loaded.

Key Features

• 432 mm (17 in) Width: Matches the Smart-UPS RT tower width precisely, so the unit sits flush on the cart without overhang that could create a tip hazard during transport.
• 635 mm (25 in) Depth: Provides full base support along the UPS depth, distributing load evenly across the cart platform — important when moving a fully loaded, battery-heavy unit.
• 89 mm Platform Height: Low-profile design keeps the center of gravity as close to the floor as practical, reducing instability risk during movement across uneven floor transitions like cable channels or floor tile edges.
• Black Finish: Matches the APC Smart-UPS RT color scheme, keeping the equipment room looking consistent — a minor point operationally but relevant to facilities teams who care about presentation in client-visible data rooms.

Integration & Compatibility

The SURT013 is designed for use with APC Smart-UPS RT tower-form UPS systems. Verify your specific Smart-UPS RT model's physical footprint against the 432 mm × 635 mm cart deck before ordering — some extended-battery module (EBM) stacked configurations may exceed the cart depth. This cart is not intended for rack-mount UPS installations. For broader power conditioning and UPS solutions, review the full APC lineup to confirm cart compatibility with your specific model. A UPS accessories pairing — such as replacement batteries or external battery modules — may also be relevant to your deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which UPS models is the SURT013 compatible with?

A: The SURT013 is designed for APC Smart-UPS RT tower-form UPS units. Confirm your specific model's base dimensions (432 mm wide, 635 mm deep) match the cart deck before ordering.

Q: What is the platform height of the SURT013?

A: The cart platform sits 89 mm (approximately 3.5 inches) above the floor.

Q: Can the SURT013 be used with rack-mounted UPS systems?

A: No. The SURT013 is a tower UPS cart designed for Smart-UPS RT tower configurations, not rack-mount chassis.

Q: Does the SURT013 work with Smart-UPS RT units stacked with external battery modules?

A: The cart deck is 635 mm deep. Stacked EBM configurations may extend beyond that depth — measure your combined footprint before ordering.

The SURT013 is a straightforward piece of kit, but it solves a real problem: Smart-UPS RT tower units are heavy, and moving them without a proper cart risks both the hardware and the floor. The 89 mm platform height is intentionally low — keeping the load close to the ground matters when you're navigating a raised-floor environment where tiles don't always sit perfectly flush.

Technical Highlights:

• 432 mm deck width: Sized to the Smart-UPS RT footprint — no shimming, no overhang, no improvised strapping required to keep the unit seated during transport.
• 635 mm deck depth: Provides full-length support for the UPS base, which matters when the unit's battery weight is distributed toward the rear of the chassis.
• 89 mm platform height: Low-profile design reduces tip risk on floor transitions — a common failure point when moving heavy equipment across data center tile edges or cable cutouts.

Deployment Considerations:

• Measure your exact Smart-UPS RT model footprint, including any attached EBM units, against the 432 mm × 635 mm deck before ordering — stacked battery configurations can push the depth past the cart's support area.
• This cart is not rated or designed for rack-mount UPS units — if your infrastructure uses rack-chassis Smart-UPS RT configurations, the SURT013 does not apply.

The SURT013 is the right call for facilities teams managing Smart-UPS RT tower deployments in data rooms where periodic UPS repositioning is part of the maintenance workflow — specifically where dead-lifting a loaded UPS is not a safe or practical option.
