Vertiv GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC 42U Rack Transport Shock Crate

Overview

The Vertiv GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is a 42U shock crate engineered to protect populated or empty rack enclosures during freight shipping, site-to-site relocation, or staged deployment. At 750 mm wide and 1100 mm deep, the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is dimensioned to enclose standard 750 mm-wide rack cabinets — the footprint commonly specified for mid-density data center and telecom deployments. If you're staging a pre-configured rack at an integration facility before final delivery to a remote data center or network closet, this is the enclosure class that prevents transit vibration and impact damage from becoming a commissioning problem on day one.

Key Features

• 42U Internal Height: accommodates full-height 42U rack enclosures, covering the standard rack size used in the majority of commercial data center and server room builds — no need to size down your cabinet selection to fit a transport solution.
• 750 mm Width: matches the 750 mm rack cabinet width specification used across Vertiv's Geist and GXT rack line, as well as compatible third-party enclosures at that footprint — confirm your cabinet's external width before ordering to ensure the crate clears the outer chassis with rails and cable management attached.
• 1100 mm Depth: the 1100 mm depth accommodates deeper cabinet variants designed for high-density server and storage configurations where front-to-back cable management and airflow baffles add exterior depth beyond the standard 1000 mm envelope.
• Black Finish (GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC): the black colorway — denoted by the 'B' suffix in the model number — is standard for Vertiv's commercial rack transport line; verify suffix if your procurement requires a specific color variant.

Integration & Compatibility

The GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is intended for use with Vertiv rack enclosures sized at 42U height, 750 mm width, and up to 1100 mm depth. Confirm actual cabinet external dimensions — including any bolt-on vertical cable managers or side panels — before ordering, as crate interior clearance is fixed. This model is part of the Vertiv rack and enclosure transport accessory line; consult Vertiv's rack cabinet catalog for compatible cabinet model cross-references. For complete data center rack builds, see the server racks and cabinets category for compatible enclosures this crate is designed to protect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack cabinet dimensions does the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC shock crate accommodate?

A: The GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is sized for 42U rack enclosures with a 750 mm width and 1100 mm depth. Verify your cabinet's external dimensions — including attached cable managers — before ordering.

Q: Is the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC reusable for multiple shipments?

A: Shock crates in this class are typically engineered for reuse, but specific reuse cycle ratings for the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC are not confirmed in available evidence. Contact Vertiv or a pre-sales specialist for reuse cycle details.

Q: Does the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC ship with mounting hardware or dunnage?

A: Package contents beyond the crate itself are not confirmed in available evidence for this SKU. Confirm included contents at time of order.

Q: Can the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC be used with third-party rack cabinets of the same dimensions?

A: The crate dimensions (750 mm W x 1100 mm D x 42U H) are compatible with any rack enclosure that fits within that external envelope, regardless of brand. Measure external cabinet dimensions carefully, as Vertiv's own documentation is the authoritative source for interior clearances.

James Everett

When I spec a pre-staged rack build for a remote site deployment, the GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is the transport solution I look at for 42U, 750 mm-wide cabinets — the 1100 mm depth spec is what matters here, because most modern high-density builds run deeper than the old 1000 mm standard, and a crate that's even 50 mm short on depth means you're either pulling cable managers off before crating or risking chassis damage at the corners.

Technical Highlights:

• 42U Height Capacity: matches full-height commercial rack builds end-to-end — no partial-fill compromise or custom padding required for standard deployments.
• 750 mm Width: the 750 mm internal envelope is the spec to verify first; Vertiv's own GXT4 and VR series cabinets at 750 mm wide are the natural match, but the crate works with any brand at that footprint.
• 1100 mm Depth: the deeper 1100 mm depth envelope is a meaningful differentiator over 1000 mm crates — it clears front-to-back vertical cable managers that are now standard on dense builds without modification.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm external cabinet dimensions with cable management and side panels attached before finalizing this crate SKU — the 750 mm and 1100 mm figures are the interior envelope limits, not nominal cabinet specs.
• Shock/vibration protection ratings, reuse cycle counts, and locking mechanism details are not available in current evidence; get these from Vertiv's logistics packaging documentation before committing to a multi-unit fleet deployment plan.

The GL42UEX-75110B-MM-SC is best suited to integration shops and IT deployment teams that pre-stage fully configured 42U racks at a central facility and need a freight-rated enclosure that survives LTL shipping to remote data centers or enterprise branch sites without pulling the build apart for transport.
