Frequently Asked Questions
What is a roto shock mount rack used for?
A roto shock mount rack protects sensitive audio, video, and IT equipment during transport and installation. The elastomer shock absorbers isolate your gear from vibration and impact, making it essential for touring professionals, broadcast facilities, and mobile AV systems.
How does the 10U shock mount rack compare to wooden cases?
The SKB 10U roto shock mount rack weighs 50% less than traditional wooden alternatives while providing superior impact resistance. The roto-molded design is more durable, requires less maintenance, and the elastomer shock absorbers offer better three-axis vibration control than passive wooden construction.
Can I use standard rack equipment in this 20" deep shock mount rack?
Yes. The 20" rail-to-rail depth accommodates standard rack-mount equipment, and pre-threaded 10-32 hardware is included for quick installation. The internal frame design ensures your equipment remains isolated from external shock while maintaining proper airflow.
What makes elastomer shock absorbers effective for equipment protection?
Elastomer shock absorbers dampen vibration across three axes (X, Y, Z), reducing the transmission of shock and vibration to your equipment. This multi-directional isolation is far more effective than single-axis solutions, protecting delicate components during transport, setup, and operation.
