Overview

The LEK6 is a runway elevation kit manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed to raise ladder rack systems. Constructed from mild steel with a zinc-plated finish, this component provides a 6-inch rise and measures 3 inches in height. It features an 11-gauge thickness (approximately 3.04 mm) and is unpainted. The unit is approved for use under UL and CSA C22.2 standards, ensuring compliance with safety regulations in Canada and the United States.

Feature Summary

• Patented tool-free click-in mounting system for versatile configurations
• Zinc-plated mild steel construction for durability
• Designed for fast assembly of wall-mount and floor-standing enclosures

Applications

• Elevating DCR Ladder Rack System components
• Wall-mount enclosure installations
• Floor-standing enclosure setups

Procurement Notes

Verify that the procurement specification explicitly requires the LEK6 model number to ensure correct part identification. Confirm that the application environment is compatible with zinc-plated steel finishes. Ensure that the installation site supports the structural requirements for a 6-inch elevation rise. Cross-reference the UL and CSA approvals against local regulatory mandates before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select the LEK6 when a specific 6-inch vertical offset is required for ladder rack integration within Hoffman enclosure systems. This component is suitable for environments where standard mounting heights are insufficient. Consider the zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor or protected industrial settings. Verify that the 11-gauge steel thickness meets the load-bearing requirements of the intended equipment configuration.

Part Context

The LEK6 belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures accessory line, specifically categorized as rack accessories. It functions as a critical structural element within the DCR Ladder Rack System, enabling flexible spatial arrangements. As part of the nVent Hoffman portfolio, it supports standardized enclosure assembly processes. The component complements other rack accessories to create ready-to-populate panel solutions.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for the LEK6. Due to the proprietary nature of the tool-free click-in mounting system, generic alternatives may not ensure compatibility with existing Hoffman DCR Ladder Rack System infrastructure. Verify exact dimensional and mechanical fit before considering any non-OEM options.
