Industrial Cage RACS

University and commercial research facilities have traditionally used different types of caging than veterinarians. There are many large runs using chain link fencing for walls. These require larger and heavier duty flooring than their smaller veterinary counter parts. Individual cages are often of a type that has a channel for the cage RAC to slide into. Our standard veterinary RACS with legs will not work in such cages (click here for more information). In both situations, RACS can custom design and manufacture the appropriate flooring.
Industrial Cage RACS

Most industrial cages for individual animals are of stainless steel, with a channel welded to the wall of the cage. This channel acts as the support for the cage RAC which slides into it.

Due to the height restrictions of the channel into which the RAC must slide and the nature of some of the work done, RACS uses a flattened steel mesh welded to a steel rod frame as pictured above. These channels were originally intended to accept uncoated stainless steel RACS and often have only a one inch opening. Our dipping process adds 1/8" of coating to the steel on the top and the bottom, so it is important to keep in mind the channel height when ordering. Look the order form over closely for the correct terminology to use when ordering such RACS.
