Middle Atlantic Caster Base Kit for BGR Series Racks

The CBS-BGR Caster Base Kit from Middle Atlantic is a purpose-built upgrade that expands the versatility of your BGR Series racks. By adding height and enabling smooth mobility, this accessory makes it easier to access, service, and reconfigure equipment without compromising stability. Designed to integrate seamlessly with BGR racks, the caster base kit preserves structural integrity while delivering professional-grade performance for studio, broadcast, and live-event environments.

• Height extension for clearances: Adds 1 1/8 inch to the overall height of your rack, providing crucial breathing room for cabling, ventilation, and airflow around heat-producing equipment. The added height also creates a more comfortable clearance for rear connections, making cable management simpler and reducing the risk of accidental cable damage during repositioning. This modest lift can streamline installation workflows in tight equipment rooms where space behind the rack is precious.
• Innovative two-part inner caster base design: Features a practical two-part inner caster base that distributes weight evenly, minimizes point loads, and improves stability on a variety of floor surfaces. The design enhances rolling smoothness, reduces caster wobble, and simplifies installation by allowing precise alignment during mounting. This arrangement helps keep the rack level and confident on uneven floors often found in staging, rehearsal, or production spaces.
• Designed for BGR Series Racks: Specifically engineered to fit the Middle Atlantic BGR family, ensuring a snug, secure mount and preserving the rack’s structural integrity. With compatibility built into the design, you benefit from a clean aesthetic and reliable integration that respects the engineering standards Middle Atlantic is known for in professional settings.
• Enhanced mobility and accessibility: Integrated casters enable smooth rolling, allowing quick repositioning for maintenance, wiring, or client demonstrations without heavy lifting. The kit supports dynamic room layouts, enabling you to reconfigure spaces between shoots, rehearsals, or installations without sacrificing gear safety or setup time. This mobility is particularly valuable in busy studios and multi-purpose venues.
• Durable construction and protection: Built to endure the rigors of studio and stage environments, the base kit provides robust support for heavy gear while protecting floors and maintaining level status on uneven or marred surfaces. The materials and finish are chosen to withstand frequent handling, transport, and exposure to typical workshop or event-site conditions, helping your investment stay reliable over years of service.

How to install Middle Atlantic Caster Base Kit for BGR Series Racks

Installing the CBS-BGR caster base kit is a straightforward process that can be completed with common tools and a little planning. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure, level integration with your BGR rack:

• Verify compatibility with your specific BGR Series rack and prepare a clean, level workspace to prevent surface damage during installation.
• Position the caster base under the rack’s bottom frame, aligning the mounting points with the recommended attachment locations recommended by Middle Atlantic for your BGR model.
• Attach the two-part inner caster base to the rack using the supplied hardware, ensuring the base seats evenly and securely. Tighten fasteners incrementally in a cross-pattern to promote uniform load distribution.
• Extend the casters as needed to achieve the desired mobility; if your configuration includes locking capabilities, engage the locks when positioning the rack in place to prevent unintended movement during connections.
• Recheck cable routing, ventilation clearance, and overall stability. Gently roll the rack to confirm smooth movement and verify that the added height does not interfere with back-of-rack connections, doors, or plenum space.
