Collection: Rack Mount Cases

Rack mount cases are purpose-built portable enclosures designed to transport, deploy, and protect 19-inch rack-mounted electronic equipment in the field. Unlike a standard transit case, a rack case integrates a structural aluminum or steel rail frame — sized to the EIA 310-D standard — directly inside a rugged rotomolded shell, letting you bolt in servers, amplifiers, communications gear, or test instruments and carry the entire assembly as a self-contained unit.

Why Choose a Portable Rack Case?

Fixed server rooms and equipment racks offer little help when systems must travel to a remote broadcast site, a military forward operating base, a live event stage, or a mobile command post. Rack mount cases solve this by combining the physical interface of a standard equipment rack with the environmental protection of a sealed transport case: IP-rated gaskets keep out dust and water, shock mounts decouple fragile electronics from road or air vibration, and stacking ribs let multiple cases form a stable column in a vehicle cargo hold. The result is a fielded rack that can be bolted open for immediate use, then latched shut and moved without removing a single piece of installed gear.

Product Families Available

The Peli rack mount portfolio spans eight distinct families, each engineered for a specific balance of protection level, weight, and rack depth:

• Classic-V — 33-inch (84 cm) deep fixed frame; medium-duty shock mounts; 4U to 9U; the workhorse for broadcast, AV, and government IT applications.
• Super-V — Available in both 24-inch (61 cm) and 30-inch (76 cm) rack depths; metric M6 and imperial 10-32 cage nuts included; 3U to 14U; suited to communications and ISR deployments.
• Euro-V — Manufactured in Germany; metric M6 rack frame; cylindrical wall-mounted shock isolators; interstackable with Super-V and BlackBox; 4U to 10U; preferred for European defence and public safety procurement.
• MAC Rack — Low-profile textured shell; heavy-duty shock mount system rated to high payload classes; 3U to 14U in 20-inch and 24-inch depths; favoured in military and aerospace programmes.
• MIN MAC Rack — Compact, lightweight double-door design giving front-and-rear equipment access; 4U to 12U; ideal where cargo space is at a premium.
• ProRack — Smooth rotomolded shell; 18-inch (46 cm) shallow rack depth; dual front-and-rear lid opening; no shock mounts — optimised for lightweight, space-efficient transport without a shock isolation requirement.
• SuperMAC — Patent-pending Lock 'N Load removable rack that slides out like a drawer for full wiring access; smooth surface; 24-inch and 30-inch depths; 3U to 9U+.
• BlackBox — Light-duty textured case; interstackable with Super-V and Euro-V; 24-inch and 30-inch rack depths; 3U to 14U; the cost-effective entry point for solid-state electronics transport.

Typical Applications

Rack mount cases from this range are in service across broadcast outside broadcast (OB) vans, military C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence) deployments, touring live-sound and lighting rigs, emergency medical and disaster-response mobile units, oil-and-gas field data-acquisition systems, and aviation ground-support equipment programmes. European integrators and defence prime contractors regularly specify Peli rack cases because they comply with MIL-STD-810, STANAG 4340, and Def Stan 81-41 test regimes, and because the cases are available with NATO stock number documentation on request.
