Lowell Manufacturing Company has introduced a light-duty, wall-mount shelf (WSL-1814), and two new rack-mount shelves (SLS and KS Series).
The WSL-1814 steel wall-mount shelf is an economical option for light-duty settings (up to 40 pounds) and is an option for in-closet wiring applications. It’s made in the USA from a single piece of 100 percent certified 16-gauge U.S. steel that’s been formed and bolted.
The WSL-1814 offers mounting holes on 16-inch stud centers and has two obround holes in the rear for cable routing. Bottom vents include provisions to mount an optional single fan kit (FW1-KIT, ordered separately) if active thermal management is desired. It sports a smooth black powder epoxy finish.
The KS Series is a ready-to-assemble, steel rack-mount shelf for which users order the base and ears separately, enabling them to keep fewer parts on-hand to mix-and-match and assemble the shelf size needed. This allows cost-efficient shipping, storage, and inventory management.
Shelf ears are available in heights of 2U, 3U and 4U with 14-inch or 18-inch depth. The vented base is available with 14-, 18- or 21-inch depth. Load capacity is up to 70 pounds, depending on final assembly size.
Lowell Model SLS is a 19-inch E.I.A. steel rack-mount shelf that slides out and latches in both open and closed positions to avoid unwanted movement or closure while working on equipment.
The shelf’s full extension is 14 inches, while the shelf area measures 17.5 inches wide x 14.625 inches deep. The shelf is slightly more than 1U panel space, measuring 2.5 inches high. It sports a black semi-gloss enamel finish.
