Veterinary Cage RACS


Our original Cage RACS, now used by veterinarians for almost thirty years were designed to be lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and of a design that allows papers and bedding to be changed without disturbing the animal in the cage.  The specially made legs, similar to sled runners in appearance are of prefabricated 3/8” cold-rolled steel. These are bent according to the size of cage RAC they will be used for, and the mesh platform is welded to the top of them. In the case of RACS used in larger cages, a center support is also welded to the platform. After welding is complete, the RAC is then coated with the finest p.v.c plastisol available.  This coating is oven cured, smooth, durable, can be cleaned with any product on the market, and guaranteed not to chip, cRAC or peel for three years.  Although it happens infrequently, we cannot promise that some determined critter will not damage the floor with their teeth. One must keep their eyes peeled for that overly destructive animal and, especially, never put rabbits on coated flooring.

The finished RAC stands close to four inches tall. A RAC 21.5 x 27.5 weighs 13 lbs. These RACS remain  popular for two reasons. One is their lower cost, and the other is for better circulation of air when using a cage dryer after bathing.

Our coated aluminum RACS were developed  in 1995 in response to requests for even lighter cage RACS.  These RACS are made from high quality aluminum, dipped in the same high quality plastisol as our other products. The  legs are 1/4 x 1” aluminum bar welded to a similar frame.  A 21.5” x 27.5” coated aluminum cage RAC weighs only 8.5 lbs.    The  height of these floors is 2 1/4” from the floor to the top of the mesh. This allows almost two inches additional head room for those larger dogs.  As with our original RACS, the floors for larger cages have an extra pair of legs in the middle. They have been more popular at a rate of five to one than our original coated steel RACS due to their shorter height, lesser weight  and ease of handling.

Both our coated aluminum and coated steel cage RACS are designed to hold the weight of the animals that will fit in the appropriate size cage that the RAC is made for.
They are not made to put into runs as resting platforms for oversized  animals or where human weight might be applied . Products for this type of use can be special ordered .
We carry all standard sizes for Shoreline, Suburban and VSSI cages as well as for other manufacturers such as Dirck and Snyder, with most sizes in stock and ready to ship to you by U.P.S. . We can also custom make similar RACS for those tricky tapered fiberglass cages or those home- made cages of various sizes.
