Middle Atlantic CBS-5 Skirted Caster Base for Slim 5 Series Racks

Overview

The CBS-5 is a skirted base with four casters engineered for Middle Atlantic Slim 5 Series rack enclosures. It converts a static rack install into a mobile one — useful during initial rack builds, equipment staging, and in any operations room where you periodically need to pull a rack away from the wall for rear cable access without disconnecting and reconnecting patch runs. At 4 inches tall, the CBS-5 adds minimal height to the overall rack stack while giving you real mobility for a system loaded up to 400 lbs. The black wrinkle powder coat finish matches the standard Slim 5 Series enclosure finish so the base integrates cleanly rather than standing out as an afterthought.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic Slim 5 Series rack enclosures. The 19.13 in. width and 20 in. depth footprint correspond directly to the Slim 5 Series cabinet base dimensions — do not attempt to fit this base under standard 24 in. or 30 in. depth Middle Atlantic enclosures, as the depth mismatch will leave the caster base unsupported. Verify your rack's listed base series is Slim 5 before ordering. The CBS-5 is not a universal fit across the Middle Atlantic rack accessory catalog; other base series (WR, ERK, BGR) use different footprint dimensions and require their own caster base SKUs.

Installation Notes

Product weight is 14.3 lbs, shipping weight 16.3 lbs. Weight capacity is 400 lbs — account for fully loaded rack weight including all installed equipment, cable management, and blanks before specifying. The casters are integrated into the skirted base assembly; no additional caster hardware is required. Confirm floor surface compatibility with the caster type before deploying in finished server rooms or raised-floor environments where caster load ratings and floor material interaction matter for rack installation planning.
