Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum depth of equipment that the Gator G-PRO-2U-19 supports?
The rack depth is approximately 48.3 cm (equivalent to 19"), measured from the front rails to the rear panel. This makes it suitable for standard 19" deep form factor equipment, provided a small margin is allowed for rear connectors and cables.
Does it include mounting screws for the equipment?
Yes. The flight case incorporates front and rear threaded guides and includes standard 10/32 screws with protective washers to secure equipment to the rack without damaging the front panel.
Does it have internal damping or an anti-vibration system?
It's not a rack with an internal suspension system; it's a rigid, rotomolded rack . It offers very good protection against normal shocks and vibrations during transport, but it's not designed as a floating rack with extreme isolation.
Can I stack multiple G-PRO-2U-19 racks?
Yes. The molded design and rubber feet allow for stable stacking of multiple G-PRO racks , including compatibility with the first generation of this series. However, it is still recommended to follow good loading and weight distribution practices.
Does it work for non-audio equipment?
Of course. Although it is geared towards professional audio, it is suitable for any 2U 19" rack-mount device that fits within its dimensions (e.g., network equipment, compact servers, control units, etc.), always respecting the device's ventilation.
Construction and materials
The Gator G-PRO-2U-19 is part of Gator's Pro-Series line, designed with rotomolded polyethylene , a highly impact- and deformation-resistant material, especially suitable for heavy-duty use. The housing is molded in one piece with structural reinforcements that improve rigidity and stacking strength. The front and rear lids incorporate a perimeter seal and are secured with Penn-Elcom MOL recessed fasteners , reducing potential breakage points and minimizing the hardware's exposure to direct impacts. Non-slip rubber feet on the base and the special mold geometry allow the racks to be securely stacked together.
Transport and ergonomics
For transport, the G-PRO-2U-19 features ergonomic side handles integrated into the rack body. Molded directly into the plastic, these handles offer exceptional durability and eliminate the need for screws that could loosen over time. Weighing approximately 5.2 kg empty, the rack can be easily moved by one person when moderately loaded, while two people can safely handle it even with heavier equipment. Its compact size and standard depth make it a practical flight case for both local use and transport in a van or truck.
