The Middle Atlantic ERK-1825LRD is a professional-grade, high-strength 18 RU stand-alone equipment rack designed to securely house pro AV, networking, and structured IT systems. Part of Middle Atlantic's landmark ERK series, this specific configuration features solid welded sides and explicitly ships less the rear door ("LRD"), making it an economical choice for setups where rear wall access is already restricted or a custom door will be added later.
