Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum depth of equipment I can install?
The usable interior depth between the rails is 311.20 mm. It is important to measure your equipment to ensure it fits, allowing some space for the rear connectors.
Does it include the screws and washers for mounting the equipment?
Yes, Gator racks usually include a set of rack screws and washers so you can start assembling your equipment right away.
Is it water resistant?
Although the polyethylene material is resistant to moisture and splashes, the lids do not have a watertight sealing gasket, so they are not completely submersible or waterproof under heavy rain.
