Middle Atlantic ASR-30-HD Slide Out & Rotating Shelving System
The Middle Atlantic ASR-30-HD Slide Out & Rotating Shelving System is a heavy-duty, space-saving solution designed to maximize accessibility, airflow, and organization for AV and rack-mounted gear. Built to handle demanding environments, this compact 21" x 20" x 30" unit brings four ventilated shelves that glide out smoothly and rotate for easy reach, transforming cramped cabinets into clean, efficient workspaces. Whether you’re outfitting a control room, media closet, or professional studio, the ASR-30-HD delivers dependable performance, ergonomic access, and a sleek finish that complements modern equipment racks.
- Effortless access with slide-out and rotating shelves: The ASR-30-HD combines full-extension slides with a rotating shelf design, letting you pull out a shelf, rotate it toward you, and access every corner of your equipment without twisting cables or contorting your body. This design reduces strain during daily servicing and makes routine maintenance quicker and safer, while maintaining a compact footprint that fits neatly in tight cabinet spaces. The four shelf configuration ensures you can organize gear by function, weight, or priority, so critical components stay within easy reach and airflow isn’t obstructed by clutter.
- Ventilated shelves and top for superior cooling: Heat management is essential for performance and longevity, and the ASR-30-HD is engineered with vented shelves and a vented top to optimize airflow around stacked equipment. By promoting continuous airflow across components, this system helps dissipate heat more efficiently than solid-surface alternatives, reducing the risk of thermal throttling and extending the life of sensitive electronics. The vented design pairs with your cabinet’s cooling strategy to maintain stable operating temperatures, even in high-demand environments.
- Compact footprint with robust capacity: Measuring 21" wide by 20" deep and 30" tall, the ASR-30-HD is purpose-built for spaces where every inch counts. Its four shelves deliver a practical balance of storage density and accessibility, enabling you to house a diverse collection of equipment—from power strips and distribution modules to small audio-visual units and network appliances. With a formidable 200 lb total load capacity, this shelving system can shoulder the weight of heavier gear, while maintaining smooth operation and structural integrity.
- Premium finishes and durable construction: The ASR-30-HD is offered with finishes including brushed silver and brushed black, paired with melamine surfaces that are both durable and easy to clean. The combination of sturdy materials and a refined appearance ensures the unit looks professional in any control room or equipment closet. The melamine surfaces resist scratches and stains, making it suitable for high-traffic environments where gear is frequently added or rearranged.
- Assembly-ready with space-efficiency in mind: This system is designed for assembly within your cabinet or rack enclosure, enabling you to optimize every inch of available space. It’s a practical choice for technicians and integrators who value modularity and straightforward installation, as you can tailor placement to your exact cabinet dimensions and workflow. The ASR-30-HD’s layout supports scalable configurations, so you can adapt as your equipment lineup evolves without sacrificing accessibility or airflow.

How to install Middle Atlantic ASR-30-HD
Installing the ASR-30-HD is a straightforward process that prioritizes safe handling and proper ventilation for your gear. Before you begin, confirm that your cabinet or enclosure interior can accommodate a 21" wide, 20" deep, 30" tall unit with four ventilated shelves and that the space allows for full extension and rotation without obstruction.
Step 1: Unpack and inspect. Remove all components from packaging and verify you have the four shelves, mounting hardware, and any supports specified in the included instructions. Check for any transit damage and set aside packaging materials in a safe area.
Step 2: Plan placement. Determine the optimal location inside your cabinet where the slide-out mechanism will clear doors, drawers, or other equipment. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for full extension and rotation, and that heat-generating devices have unobstructed airflow around the vented shelves and top.
Step 3: Mount the frame. Install any required frame rails or mounting brackets inside the cabinet according to the provided hardware and your cabinet’s specifications. Secure the base and ensure a level surface so the slide-out mechanism operates smoothly. If your cabinet requires stud mounting or anchoring, follow standard safety guidelines to prevent shifting under load.
Step 4: Attach shelves and slide mechanism. Assemble the four ventilated shelves as directed and attach the slide-out hardware to each shelf or the main frame, ensuring smooth glide performance. Verify that each shelf can slide fully in and out without binding, and that the rotation feature engages easily when extended. Periodically test with a modest weight to confirm stability before loading heavier gear.
Step 5: Finalize and load. With the unit secured, place equipment onto the shelves in a balanced manner, distributing weight evenly to preserve glide efficiency and prevent tipping. Leave dedicated space around heat-generating components to promote airflow, and route cables so they do not impede the sliding or rotating action.
Step 6: Verify operation and safety. Open and close the slide-out mechanism several times to ensure consistent movement. Check for any interference with cabinet doors, nearby shelves, or utility components. Confirm that the unit remains stable under load and that all safety clearances are observed. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the vented surfaces and inspecting hardware, will help preserve performance over time.
