Great Lakes SC128442 Side Car Enclosure 84x12x42 in

Product Description

The GREAT LAKES SC128442 is a side car enclosure measuring 84 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 42 inches deep. It is designed to expand existing rack or panel enclosure systems by mounting alongside a primary enclosure, adding usable interior space without increasing the main cabinet footprint. This metal enclosure is built for electrical and data infrastructure applications and is sold as a single unit. Electricians, system integrators, and low-voltage installers use side car units to house overflow wiring, additional equipment, or dedicated cable management in panel rooms and equipment bays.

This side car enclosure is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where space management alongside primary enclosures is required. The 12-inch width profile keeps the side car compact while the 84-inch height matches standard full-height rack and panel cabinet dimensions. The 42-inch depth provides substantial interior volume for routing cables, mounting supplemental components, or organizing wiring harnesses. Typical installations are found in data rooms, electrical closets, industrial control areas, and commercial mechanical rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation of this enclosure should be performed by a qualified electrician or systems integrator familiar with NEC requirements for enclosure mounting and wiring. De-energize and lock out all circuits in the adjacent primary enclosure before beginning installation. Secure the side car to the floor, wall, or primary enclosure per the manufacturer mounting guidelines to ensure structural stability. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the enclosure mounting points.
