Using our SA-T Flyracks

1 

Building into the racks

Like when you build any rack, we recommend you build heavy from the bottom up. This allows the rack to have a stronger base. Make sure all screws holding the rack together are done up tight as well as all rack screws holding your equipment together. 

​

We suggest checking your rack screws after every few uses in case anything has worked itself loose.

Weight

If you are placing excessive weight into the racks then please be wary of how it is built into the racks. Our racks comfortably hold upwards of 15kg but we do suggest that a certain level of common sense must be used to determine whether a rack is being overloaded and cannot be held responsible for any damage that occurs through this. 

​

Please remember that the top and bottom sections of the racks are made of aluminium. We use the strongest and best grade of aluminium available but this does have less tensile strength than steel but is the trade off you make to give you a lightweight product.

Self casing the racks

We sell our racks on their own for a couple of reasons. A lot of our customers will have more racks than cases and use them modularly to pick and choose what gear they need/want to take with them. 

​

We also sell the foam to fit out your own 1535/1607/1637 or you can go at it yourself. Below you will find some recommendations on how to go about this as wrongly casing a rack alongside excessive weight and/or an airline throwing your case around could cause damage to the racks which we cannot be held liable for. 

​

The most important thing when foaming your own case is to use good quality closed cell foam that is firm so it securely holds the rack in place within the case. Second to this is a good quality hard case, we use and sell Pelis but other brands also make suitable cases. 

​

When foaming it is important to make sure the corners on the top and bottom are being supported as this is where majority of the pressure will be applied to the racks when in the cases. As you can see from the pictures of our foam the base foam provides full and even support for the whole base of the rack meaning there is no extreme pressure point that can cause bending to the aluminium. The same goes for our lid foam. Not supporting the rack evenly on the top or bottom like this could cause pressure to be applied to "weak points" of the frame.

Disclaimer

We strongly believe in our product but we cannot be held responsible for any damage occurred in situations where the racks are clearly being pushed beyond their limits whether this be through overloading, incorrectly building into them or being incorrectly packaged within cases. 

​

We are also not responsible for any damage caused by excessive force used by airlines while the racks/cases are being used in transit.
