are we talking the full 96 channel rack or a small 12-24 channel?
it’s a “large”—24 slots / 96 2.4K dimmers.
Thanks. If we have to lay it down I‘ll probably pull the transport covers off.while it might not necessarily damage the rack, it’s worth noting the chassis and specifically the front and rear cover panels for the 48/96are not intended to transport in that manner. I’ve received them shipped that way. It might not break the panels, but it is more likely they will shift in a way that can jam and damage the retaining mechanisms.
These units aren’t very tippy. With the modules loaded the weight is still biased toward the base. I can’t recall exactly if the weight balance is fore, back, or neutral so I can’t recall if removing top rows of modules would balance it further or not.it’s a “large”—24 slots / 96 2.4K dimmers.
I don’t really want to, but it’s going on an open trailer and I don’t want it to tip over.
I‘m pretty sure I remember nothing protrudes beyond the chassis, but not positive.
We’ll see how it goes. If we can secure it upright then there will be no reason to lay it down, but I want to know whether it’s an option.
Does the trailer have walls/stakebed? How far are you transporting it and over what terrain? The rack weighs 800#. I'd do everything possible to not flip it.it’s a “large”—24 slots / 96 2.4K dimmers.

If it's a 24 slot, it's a 48x2.4kw. "Large" would be a 48-slot, 96-way. There's not that much size difference between the 48 and 96. The 96 is a little wider, duh, because it has an extra row of dimmers. Neither is going to tip over without a great deal of external force. You could put it in the middle of an empty trailer if you could convince it not to roll. But it IS a "rolling rack, so just ratchet strap it to a front or side railing.it’s a “large”—24 slots / 96 2.4K dimmers.
I'm unaware of any rolling rack taller than a rental truck door, but good advice to remember. Maybe an issue with a uhaul trailer-- I think we've all been in the " shut door to unstack" world at least onceRent a truck with a lift gate. But, be sure to check the door clearance versus the height of the rack.
its an open bed trailer...Put it in the truck first, strap it to the wall, and sandbag the wheels.
I've been going for the better part of 30 hours I think I interpreted "open trailer" as "empty truck." Advice rescinded.its an open bed trailer...
Block the wheels and get the 2 biggest straps you can find.its an open bed trailer...
Agreed that would have been a more desirable approach, but also cost prohibitive because of the mileage fees the rentals I priced wanted. The trailer ended up working fine.Rent a truck with a lift gate. But, be sure to check the door clearance versus the height of the rack.
