| Advantages
& Benefits of Aluminum profile constructed racks over welded mild
steel constructed racks |
- Aluminum profile
constructed racks are significantly lighter in weight than welded
mild steel constructed racks. In spite of light weight Aluminum
racks have similar strength, rigidity and weight bearing capacities.
Light weight makes Aluminum profile constructed racks more suitable
for data centers with raised floors.
- Aluminum profile
constructed racks can be shipped in completely knocked down condition
(CKD) whereas welded steel racks cannot. Substantial saving in freight
is possible when several racks are shipped in CKD form against
in fully assembled condition.
- Superior resistance
against corrosion is offered by Aluminum profile constructed racks.
This is the reason behind higher Aluminum profile constructed racks
installation in wet costal cities of India.

| Drawbacks
of Aluminum profile constructed racks in comparison with welded mild
steel constructed racks |
- Expensive:
extruded Aluminum profile constructed racks are 15% or more costly.
- Longer lead
time: At Hanut India the order to dispatch time for Aluminum profile
constructed racks is 10 business days. For welded mild steel 19"
racks and ETSI racks lead time is only 03 business days.
- Limited size
and options: Aluminum profile constructed racks are available only
in 42U height (in case of 19" racks) and 2200mm height (in case
of ETSI racks). Against this mild steel welded racks are available
from 15U to 48U height. Also customized and non 19" racks are also
offered in welded steel construction.
