Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Seismic Riser Base for 38 Inch Deep BGR Racks

The Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Seismic Riser Base is a rugged, floor-standing foundation designed specifically for 38 inch deep BGR racks. Built to handle demanding AV and IT environments, this base provides a secure, stable platform that supports field rough-in prior to the arrival of racks and enclosures while offering a practical lower cable chase to simplify cable routing between bays. Engineered with heavy-gauge welds and a durable steel construction, it combines resilience with clean, professional aesthetics — ideal for broadcast studios, control rooms, data centers, and other professional rack installations.

• Prime compatibility with 38" deep BGR racks: Designed to accommodate standard 38-inch depth BGR racks, ensuring a precise fit, stable alignment, and optimal cable management from day one.
• Sturdy steel construction with heavy-gauge welds: Built to endure the rigors of professional environments, delivering long-lasting rigidity and resistance to vibration and movement.
• Floor-standing base with cable-chase capability: Acts as a lower cable chase to pass and organize cables between racks, promoting clean layouts, improved airflow, and easier maintenance access.
• Black textured powder coat finish: Provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that withstands abuse in busy equipment rooms while maintaining a professional appearance.
• High weight capacity (up to 1000 lb): Supports heavy racks, enclosures, power distribution, and cabling without compromising stability or performance.

How to Install Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Seismic Riser Base for 38 Inch Deep BGR Racks

• Prepare the installation area by ensuring the floor is level, clean, and capable of supporting the combined weight of the base and the future rack system.
• Position the riser base in the desired location, taking care to align it with where the 38" deep BGR racks will sit so that cables can be routed efficiently through the lower chase.
• Place the 38" deep BGR rack(s) on top of the base, verifying even contact between the rack frame and the riser base for uniform load distribution and optimal stability.
• Route cables through the lower cable chase provided by the base. Use the base as a central conduit to organize power, data, and control cables between racks, helping to reduce clutter and improve airflow.
• Confirm overall stability and, if required by facility requirements, apply any approved floor fasteners or anchors to secure the assembly. Re-check alignment and levelness after mounting to ensure seismic performance and safe operation.
