Vertiv GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP 42U Rack Enclosure Shock Pallet
Overview
The Vertiv GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP is a shock pallet designed for the safe ground transport and staging of 42U rack enclosures with a 600 mm width and 1100 mm depth footprint. Shock pallets are a logistics-critical accessory when moving populated or partially populated racks — they absorb vibration and impact during forklift handling, freight transit, and data center floor placement, reducing the risk of damage to installed equipment. If you are moving a fully loaded Vertiv enclosure of matching footprint, a rated shock pallet is the correct tool for the job rather than a standard wood pallet that provides no vibration damping.
Key Features
- 42U Compatibility: Sized specifically for 42U Vertiv rack enclosures — verify your enclosure height before ordering, as shock pallets are not interchangeable across U heights.
- 600 mm × 1100 mm Footprint: Matches the 600 mm wide, 1100 mm deep enclosure dimension exactly. Mismatched footprints defeat the pallet's load distribution design, so confirm your enclosure's external dimensions before selecting this part number GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP.
- Black Finish: Matches standard Vertiv enclosure color for a consistent appearance in finished data center environments or equipment staging areas.
- Shock Absorption Design: Engineered to dampen vibration during transit — the primary reason to specify a manufacturer-matched shock pallet over a generic alternative when shipping populated racks.
Compatibility
This shock pallet is engineered for Vertiv rack enclosures with a 600 mm × 1100 mm footprint at 42U height. Confirm your enclosure's external width and depth against 600 × 1100 mm before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What enclosure dimensions does the GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP shock pallet fit?
A: The GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP is designed for 42U Vertiv rack enclosures with a 600 mm width and 1100 mm depth footprint. Confirm your enclosure's external dimensions match before ordering.
Q: Can I use this shock pallet for a non-Vertiv rack enclosure?
A: The pallet is sized for a 600 × 1100 mm, 42U Vertiv enclosure. Compatibility with third-party enclosures of the same footprint is not confirmed by the available evidence — contact pre-sales engineering for guidance if you are using a different enclosure brand.
Q: Is the GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP suitable for moving a fully loaded rack?
A: Shock pallets are specifically designed to protect installed equipment during transit and forklift handling. The load rating for this specific pallet is not published in the available evidence — verify maximum load capacity with Vertiv before moving a fully populated enclosure.
Q: What color is the GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP?
A: Black, matching standard Vertiv enclosure finishes.
The GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP comes up most often in data center relocation and rack pre-staging scenarios where teams are moving Vertiv enclosures — populated or partially so — across a loading dock or into a freight carrier. The 600 × 1100 mm footprint match is the spec that matters most here: a shock pallet that does not match the enclosure base dimensions will not distribute the load correctly, which can stress the frame and installed equipment even if transit vibration is otherwise damped.
Technical Highlights:
- 42U Height Designation: Confirms this pallet is paired with full-height 42U Vertiv enclosures — do not assume cross-U-height compatibility even within the same footprint family.
- 600 mm Width × 1100 mm Depth: These are the two dimensional gates — both must match your enclosure's external base before this pallet is the correct selection.
- Black Finish: Practical for staging environments where enclosure aesthetics matter — matches the standard Vertiv black enclosure palette without requiring color coordination.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the load rating directly with Vertiv before using this pallet for a fully populated 42U enclosure — maximum payload capacity is not included in the available evidence and matters significantly for forklift handling safety.
- Shock pallets are single-use or limited-use items in most logistics workflows — factor replacement cost into the project budget if multiple rack moves are planned across a large deployment.
The GL42UEX-60110B-MM-SP is the right call for teams executing a structured rack relocation or data center build-out where Vertiv 600 × 1100 mm enclosures are being staged and moved — not a general-purpose shipping accessory.
