Great idea I have done that also. I heard a salesman once tell a customer that his equipment was earthquake proof. I asked him what he was referring to, and he said that he puts wheels/casters on the bottom of his data cabinets. Interesting and funny idea, but it got him the job in Southern California known for its earthquakes.
A lag bolts is stronger in a 2 1/2" stud vs a 3/4 piece of plywood. Anything heavy should blot directly to stud unless it is less than 16in or the stud span
I noticed only 2 lag bolts used in bottom left and top right. Do i need to get all 4 corners? Switch, modem, router, powerstrip, 3 wireless voip phone bases, and 1 pbx aanndd an empty shelf to put the non rack mountable items on.
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for this very instructional and illustrative video.
good video sir...
Thank for watching!! Please subscribe.
That’s why I buy them to sit on the floor with casters! Good job as always fellas

Thanks for the video, I'll definitely use this tip on Monday I have to hang 12U rack on dry wall where's 100mm gap between dry wall and concrete.

I agree with what you said, a small correction though: the cross section of a 2x4 stud is 3 1/2”.
why no pre drill holes? You'll crack plywood?
Question, what should I do with metal studs?
Excellent demo! thank you!

That’s not a drill . It’s an impact driver . What screws did you use and what type of studs are those ? Wooden I assume
How much weight will this hold? i have a server that's prolly 80 lbs with it's drives and want to mount it and plan to add more drives
Sorry they are no longer in business.
Where are the new videos ? What happend to Jim :S?
What about metal studs?
How’d you do the bolts?
What size lag bolts do you recommend?
what screw size do you recommend?
Size and type is based on the wall surface you are going through. If it a drywall try to hit a stud with a drywall screw.
