Middle Atlantic CBS-5-26R Skirted Caster Base, 26-Inch Deep, Slim 5 Series

Overview

The CBS-5-26R is a skirted caster base purpose-built for Middle Atlantic Slim 5 Series racks — specifically the 26-inch depth profile. It raises the rack 4 inches off the floor (10.2 cm), giving technicians the clearance needed to route power feeds and low-voltage cabling beneath the enclosure without cutting into the structure itself. The four integrated casters make it practical to reposition fully loaded rack enclosures without disassembly — useful in staging environments, broadcast trucks, and AV equipment rooms where layout changes are frequent. The base supports up to 400 lbs (181.4 kg), covering a fully populated mid-density rack with UPS, patch panels, and active switching gear. The steel construction with black wrinkle powder coat finish matches the standard Slim 5 rack aesthetic and holds up in the kind of dusty, high-traffic equipment rooms where bare metal or painted surfaces wear prematurely. At 19.13 inches wide and 20 lbs product weight, the CBS-5-26R ships at 22 lbs and handles without special lifting equipment. If you're building a rack accessory package around a Slim 5 enclosure, this base eliminates the need to source aftermarket caster kits that may not align to Middle Atlantic's footprint geometry.

Compatibility

Verify your enclosure depth before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers caster bases across multiple depth variants; this model is the 26-inch version. The 19.13-inch width matches the Slim 5 footprint.
