Suspended Shock Mounted Rack Cases

For the most sensitive, most valuable gear you put on the road, nothing protects like full suspension. Our suspended shock-mounted rack cases hold a black powder-coated steel inner frame floated inside the outer shell on anti-vibration mounts, so impact and high-frequency vibration are absorbed before they ever reach your equipment. Built around the Penn Elcom R88XX frame with flanged dome mounts, this is the highest level of in-transit protection we make — engineered for servers, broadcast engineering racks, recording and measurement gear, and anything that simply cannot afford to be jolted.

Every suspended rack in this collection is hand-built in our Market Harborough workshop from European birch plywood with 10mm panel construction and a hardwearing hexaboard finish. The suspended steel frame mounts your kit to standard 19" rack units, front and rear, and the whole assembly rides isolated from the case body — by air, sea or road.

True suspension, not just padding

The difference is in the engineering. Rather than packing gear in foam, a suspended shock-mounted rack case decouples the entire rack frame from the outer case on dome-style anti-vibration mounts. The frame floats; shocks dissipate through the mounts instead of through your chassis. It's the choice when downtime isn't an option and the payload is irreplaceable.

A size for every rack

We build each height as its own product rather than burying you in variants. Choose the U height that matches your equipment:

• 2U–6U suspended shock-mounted rack cases — sensitive interfaces, measurement and audio gear.
• 8U–12U suspended shock-mounted rack cases — engineering, comms and control racks for touring and broadcast.
• 16U–28U suspended shock-mounted rack cases — servers, data and large signal-processing systems.

Count your rack units, leave room for cable management and airflow, then size up. Not sure? Our team will spec it with you in minutes.

• Powder-coated steel inner frame on anti-vibration mounts — Penn Elcom R88XX with flanged dome mounts.

Which rack is right for you?

Nomad builds four levels of rack protection. Pick a slam rack for direct mounting of robust gear, a foam shock-mounted rack for affordable vibration damping, a shock mount slam rack for fast-access shock protection, or a suspended shock-mounted rack for the ultimate in vibration isolation.
