Introduced last fall, the G1 Series Gangable racks include hassle-free features such as pre-welded ganging nuts and easily accessible hardware, giving installers the ability to gang racks after components are loaded. Other user-friendly features include adjustable front and rear rack rails; optional doors that are reversible, locking, and fit either the front or rear of the rack; and packaging designed to cushion the back of the rack for lay-down loading.
