Has anyone ever installed a comms rack ontop of another comms rack?

I've come into a tricky situation where we have a comms cabinet (and I mean cabinet, 1.2m x 1.2m) that has a 24RU Rack which is fully utilized problem is I need to add 4-6 RU of extra gear.

If I managed all the gear in the rack I wouldn't be too bothered, just get the outage and "do the needful" however this is a Government Critical site with shared equipment throughout. The only feasible option I can think of is to install another 24RU rack ontop.

Getting cabling between the racks wont be an issue however I've never done and never seen this done before and so wanted so see what the collective thought of my approach?
