Notes: 1. For rack lengths not shown contact C&D engineering
2. Rack width does not include thickness of crossbracing. Increase width by 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) when this dimension is critical.
3. Typical cell installation on racks is with plates parallel to rack rails.
4. For other cell configurations and rack types, contact C&D Engineering.
