Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Black

Elevate your lectern or AV workstation with the durable, no-pinch Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf in Black High-Pressure Laminate (HPL). This versatile add-on delivers extra surface space exactly where you need it, without compromising the clean lines of your presentation setup. When you’re ready to present, the shelf flips up with confidence, and when not in use, it lays flush against the lectern for an uninterrupted sightline and streamlined appearance. It’s the ideal solution for classrooms, conference rooms, churches, training facilities, and any environment where professional presentation gear must stay organized and accessible.

Built for the demands of modern presentations, the L5 Flip Up Shelf combines functionality with a sleek, professional look. The HPL Black finish resists scratches, stains, and everyday wear, making it suitable for high-traffic spaces and long-term use. The no-pinch mechanism is designed to protect fingers during deployment and stow-away, letting presenters and technicians work quickly and safely. This shelf not only increases usable surface area but also helps manage cables and devices in a tidy, unobtrusive way, contributing to a more confident, distraction-free presentation experience.

From the boardroom to the classroom, this shelf is crafted to integrate seamlessly with Middle Atlantic’s lectern systems. Its compact footprint and robust construction support a wide range of devices—from laptops and tablets to notes, remotes, and small presentation accessories. The result is a cleaner podium, more organized workflow, and a professional environment that keeps the audience focused on your content rather than on clutter. If you’re outfitting multiple rooms or updating a single space, the L5 Flip Up Shelf delivers consistent, reliable performance with a quick installation and easy maintenance.

Beyond its practical benefits, the L5 Flip Up Shelf contributes to enhanced ergonomics and productivity. By giving presenters a dependable place to rest materials within easy reach, the shelf reduces the need for last-minute scrambling or shifting equipment during a live presentation. The flush, no-gap appearance when closed also means lighting, sightlines, and stages remain visually cohesive, supporting a more engaging delivery. In addition, the Black HPL surface is easy to wipe clean and sanitize between uses, making it a smart choice for environments that require frequent turnover or adherence to hygiene standards.

  • Extra surface space for devices and notes: The flip-up shelf provides a versatile platform for laptops, tablets, notebooks, presentation remotes, and printed materials, ensuring essentials are always accessible without crowding the lectern lip.
  • No-pinch, smooth-flip operation: The innovative mechanism lifts with safety in mind and returns to a flush, stable position, reducing the risk of pinching fingers during setup or teardown.
  • Durable Black HPL finish: A resilient surface that resists scratches, scuffs, and stains, preserving a professional appearance even in high-use environments.
  • Flush-to-lectern when closed: The shelf tucks neatly away, preserving sight lines and maintaining a clean stage profile for presenters and audiences alike.

How to Install Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Black

Installing the L5 Flip Up Shelf is a straightforward process that adds usability without altering the look of your lectern. Before you begin, confirm that your lectern model supports the L5 shelf footprint and that you have the appropriate mounting hardware supplied with the kit. Follow these practical steps to achieve a secure, flush-on-close installation:

1) Verify compatibility: Check that your lectern’s mounting surface and footprint align with the L5 shelf design. If in doubt, consult the product manual or a Middle Atlantic technician for guidance.

2) Prepare the mounting area: Clear the underside area where the shelf will be attached. Ensure there is no obstruction that could interfere with the flip mechanism or cable runs.

3) Align the shelf: Position the shelf under the lectern lip, aligning the screw holes or mounting brackets with the corresponding locations on the lectern body. A light tack with a temporary spacer can help keep it in place during the initial alignment.

4) Secure the hardware: Use the supplied mounting hardware to fasten the shelf to the lectern. Tighten screws evenly and gradually to prevent misalignment and to ensure a smooth, even flip action when opening and closing the shelf.

5) Test the mechanism: Gently flip the shelf up and down several times to confirm a smooth, no-pinch motion and that the shelf sits flush with the lectern when closed. Verify that any cables routed near the shelf have adequate clearance and won’t snag as the shelf moves.

6) Final checks and finishing touches: Recheck hardware torque after the first use, wipe the surface to remove any fingerprints or dust, and ensure the shelf remains stable under light to moderate loads. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum load and usage recommendations.

Note: If you are retrofitting an existing installation or you have special cabling requirements, consider consulting a professional installer to ensure optimal clearance, cable management, and performance.
