Relay rack

A relay rack for supporting electrical components, the relay rack comprising:

• at least two vertical columns having upper and lower ends;
• an upper cross-bracket extending between and attached to the vertical columns at their upper ends;
• and
• a base including:
• first and second base brackets, each base bracket having a vertical base flange attached integrally to a horizontal base flange, the vertical base flanges of the base brackets being respectively attached to opposite sides of the lower ends of the vertical columns, the vertical base flanges each extending along a substantially vertical plane, and
• first and second support brackets connected to each base bracket, each support bracket having a single vertical support, a single vertical end support connected to the vertical support, and a single horizontal support connected to the vertical support, the vertical support extending along a substantially vertical plane that forms a dihedral angle of less than 90 degrees with the plane of the vertical base flange, such that in a direction in which the horizontal base flange extends from the vertical base flange, the vertical supports on each base bracket extend convergently toward one another.
