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.
