Members rackq Posted March 15, 2008 Members Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm trying to choose a rack case. I will probably go with a Gator like these:http://www.gatorcases.com/productsdetail.aspx?LID=1&PID=116 Can a case like that support the weight of a 50lb combo on top permanently?

Members elchico04 Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 god, my rack is so heavy now that I actually have the rack. Do you think my 6 space shock mount 1/2 full would be able to sit on a cabinet safely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't risk it with one of those relatively lightweight plastic jobs personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rackq Posted March 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for the replies. What about a suspension rack? The ones available here are wooden 9mm 5 ply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jaymeister Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have a gator 6 space rack, and if I put my 74lb 2x12 combo on top of it, the rack case sags a lot. I do not recommend it, even at 50 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hamer95USA Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey rackq, I put my '92 Marshall 30th Anniversary 6101 1x12 combo amp on top of my Mesa Boogie 4 space shockmounted rack all the time at my cover band gigs. I wouldn't recommend it though with either the SKB or Gator rack cases. Guitar George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
