Most 37U LINIER replacements have a fairly clear path within the GAW lineup.
Recommended Replacement: GAW 40U

Moving from 37U to 40U adds three rack units while keeping the cabinet close in scale to what you're replacing — a natural, low-friction upgrade if the extra height fits your space.
It's enough added capacity to matter without changing the overall footprint of your installation.
Side panels, door type, and cabinet depth are all configured on the product page for your convenience.
Is 44U Worth Considering?
If your existing 37U cabinet is already tight on space, or you're expecting to add equipment soon, take a look at the GAW 44U.

Replacing a crowded cabinet with another one that's nearly full from day one doesn't solve much. If vertical space is available, 44U gives the installation real room to grow.
That's not an argument for always going bigger — it's a reminder to think about where the installation is headed, not just where it's been.
Making the Call
- Current cabinet has adequate room, needs are stable: start with 40U.
- Cabinet is near capacity, or growth is expected: consider 44U.
- Extra height won't physically fit: talk to GAW before choosing a standard cabinet.
This should get most customers to the right product without wading through a full spec comparison.
Manufactured in the USA
Because GAW builds domestically, a standard cabinet isn't your only option — semi-custom and custom configurations are available when the application calls for them.
GAW's U.S. manufacturing also makes its One Box Solution possible: cable management and other accessories are assembled into your semi-custom or custom cabinet before it ships, so it arrives in a single box, ready to install, with no extra assembly and no waiting on separate deliveries.
And through the GAW Advantage Program, accessories purchased with a GAW-manufactured cabinet or rack — including seismic cabinets — are installed at the factory at no additional cost. Setup is tool-less, so the cabinet can be deployed in minutes once it's unpacked and in place.
GAW is also a WBENC-certified woman-owned business, which can support supplier-diversity purchasing goals.
