APC AR106V Caster Kit

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The APC AR106V caster kit is the kind of add-on that sounds small, but makes a noticeable difference if you actually move your rack around (server rooms that get reorganised, desks that need occasional access, refurb projects, that sort of thing). Paying £82 ex-VAT for mobility is pretty reasonable in the real world, because it saves you from the “lift and carry” routine that’s risky and slow—especially with cabling already in place. If your cabinet isn’t meant to be permanently anchored and you value easier repositioning, this is the clean, purpose-built option.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it on autopilot. If the rack will stay put, casters can be more hassle than help—stability matters, and you’ll want to be comfortable that your floor conditions and the cabinet’s setup will keep everything safe and level. Also, make sure the kit is the right match for your exact rack model; reseller listings can be vague and you don’t want to end up with “almost compatible” hardware. Overall: good value if you need to move the cabinet occasionally and want the job done properly; not worth it if the rack is staying fixed and you’d rather spend money elsewhere.
