Most notably, both rackseries take advantage of a common-frame design amongthe Standard, EP1, and EP2 series for all but the RDC 3 TierEP2 rack . This allows the RACKS to be field upgradeable bysimply installing additional bracing, while not having toremove any batteries!

2 Additionally, the RACKS use a C-Channel frame cross-section that is more robust thancompetitive designs. The RDB EP RACKS are qualified to meetUBC 1994 Section 1630 seismic loading conditions. TheRDC EP RACKS are qualified to IBC 2009 Section 1613. Otherfeatures, such as built-in grounding provisions, are listed 693 RACKS are qualified to IEEE 693-2005. C&D strivesto be the leader in supplying the best quality RACKS to supportits highly regarded FLOODED product line. The RDB and RDCracks offer a range of quality features while maintaining acompetitive price rack FEATURES: 1-Tier, 2-Tier, 3-Tier, and 2-Step styles in Standard and Custom Lengths Strut Rails with Flame Retardant Polyethylene RailCovers, Provide Electrical Isolation Rugged C-Channel Frame Design Welded Steel Frames with an Acid Resistant,Electrostatically Applied Epoxy Powder Coat, Telephone Gray Electrical Grounding Provisions Built into Base of Each Frame Flame Retardant PVC BATTERY Spacers Included with EPRacks (L- RACKS Only) Spacers for all Other Sizes areOpen-Cell Styrene (Styrofoam).
