Features

The RAFt sits on the pedestal heads integrating into the raised floor installation that can be bayed, just like cabinets. The system dramatically reduces installation time and costs compared to traditional installation methods.

Advantages & Benefits

• No tile cutting needed - saving further cost and mess

• Provides full width cable entry through base

• Exceptional base air flow; can be sealed with Cannon diaphragm or brush strip

• Rigidifies lateral movement of raised floor installation

• Secures cabinet to pedestal system - no need for tie bars to the floor substrate

• Allows minimised aisle widths and avoids cut tiles in aisle - even for 1000mm deep cabinets as tiles in aisle slide under cabinet

• Tiles in aisle can be lifted due to clearance of raised cabinet base

• RAFt available in Rear Overhang or Central mounting versions

Specification 

The Cannon RAFt System is compatible with the majority of Raised Access Floors with a modular tile size of 600mm x 600mm in current use worldwide.

Installation of the Cannon RAFt System is very simple as the system is designed to replace complete floor tiles in Raised Access Flooring where Cannon cabinets are to be installed.

RAFt Depth
The RAFt consists of a series of individual 'picture frames' which are bolted together and which always have the same depth (front-to-back) dimension as a floor tile (600mm).

Cabinets with a depth (front-to-back) dimension greater than 600mm, overhang the RAFt equally at front and rear, i.e. a 900mm cabinet would overhang the RAFt by 150mm at the front and rear or may be offset/aligned with front of cabinet.

However, the RAFt raises the cabinet above the floor sufficiently to allow the overhung tiles to be raised vertically and slid sideways for access to the under floor void.

RAFt Width
It is preferable that the frame width matches the cabinet width (600, 700 or 800mm).

Four clamps per cabinet should be used, one in each corner, however, if the cabinets are securely bayed together it may be considered adequate to use two per cabinet (one front & rear).

RAFt System & Raised Floor side view
The RAFt raises the cabinet above the floor sufficiently to allow the overhung tiles to be raised vertically and slid sideways for access to the under floor void.
