Take the heat off
mission critical electronics

After years of working on sensitive military projects, the Impact engineering team has developed the ultimate high capacity, closed-loop, climate controlled shock-mounted rackmount case.

Built on the Target Rackmount Platform

The Target CCS starts as the same shock-mounted, high-strength aluminum Target Rackmount case, every rackmount feature carries over, with a closed-loop A/C unit added. View the Rackmount Feature Sheet

CLIMATE SYSTEM High capacity, closed-loop, compressor based climate control system
COOLING POWER Unmatched Cooling Power 2,500 to 27,500 BTU/H
AMBIENT RATING Effective in external temperatures 125° F (51.7° C) to 131° F (55° C)
OPTIONAL Optional fire retardant grade insulation
CASE SHELL High-strength aluminum shock-mounted STD 19 in. rackmount case

Impact Innovation

Now, high value, rackmount electronics can be protected from:

  • Overheating
  • Freezing (optional heater)
  • Moisture / Humidity
  • Sand / Dust / Dirt
  • Hazardous Chemicals / Fumes
  • Unauthorized access

Side-Mount Capable

Not limited to the top of the case, the CCS unit can also be mounted to the side, keeping the top panel free for cabling and connectors while preserving full rack access.

Coupling catch / linking strap securing two Target cases

Coupling Catches or Linking Latch

Stainless steel (black) footman loops are installed on upper and lower regions of case base side walls. Two (2), removable coupling catches are provided with dedicated storage in lid. Two (2), stainless (black) latches located on both sides of the case body are available as a fixed option for latching cases securely.

Removable casters stored in the case lid kit

Removable Casters w/Store-In-Lid Kit

Four high strength aluminum caster clip plates are installed on bottom of case main body. The bottom HDPE skid plate system is upgraded from 0.5" to 1.0" thick. Four removable 4" casters with dual locking mechanism are supplied with a caster store-in-lid kit.

Permanent Casters

Four (4), 4" or 5" swivel casters (with dual locking mechanism) are permanently installed. The stackable skid pad system is not present in this configuration.

Rack Accessories
Top and bottom support rails installed front to back on a Target rack frame

Top/Bottom Rails

Support rails (front to back) are installed along the top and bottom of the rack frame. Designed for supporting heavy equipment which occupies the full rack.

Adjustable horizontal equipment support rails on the inner Target rack frame

Adjustable Horizontal Rails

Horizontal equipment support rails are independently installed (on the inner rack frame) to provide full front to back equipment support. Ideal for installing equipment which cannot be fixed to the rear rack frame.

Adjustable intermediate vertical rails on a Target rack frame

Adjustable Vertical Rails

Adjustable intermediate vertical rails provide a secondary rail set ideal for securing equipment which is shallower than the full rack frame depth.
