Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf – HPL Blackened Lengo

Upgrade your lectern or podium with a durable, space-saving solution designed for busy environments. The Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf in HPL Blackened Lengo adds valuable surface space when you need it, and tucks away neatly to preserve a clean, professional appearance when you don’t. Built for reliability in conference rooms, classrooms, houses of worship, and training spaces, this shelf combines a high-traffic resistant surface with a no-pinch hinge that prioritizes safety for presenters and technicians alike. Whether you’re supporting notes, a tablet, or compact AV gear, this flip-up shelf delivers a dependable, unobtrusive workspace that integrates seamlessly with Middle Atlantic lecterns and compatible mounting patterns.

• Premium HPL surface with a Blackened Lengo finish — The shelf uses a high-pressure laminate (HPL) surface that resists scratches, scuffs, and moisture, making it ideal for demanding environments where equipment is in near-constant use. The Blackened Lengo color provides a contemporary, sophisticated look that complements dark equipment racks and modern interiors. The durable finish cleans easily, keeping the surface looking pristine after frequent handling by presenters and technicians.
• No-pinch hinge design for safety — The flip-up mechanism is engineered with a safety-minded approach to minimize pinch points during deployment and stowage. This reduces the risk of finger injuries in busy rooms, classrooms, or event stages, and helps prevent accidental closures that could interrupt a presentation or damage equipment. The no-pinch design also contributes to a smoother, more reliable folding action over the shelf’s lifespan.
• Flush, space-saving profile when not in use — When folded down, the shelf sits flush against the lectern surface, maintaining a streamlined silhouette and leaving the top clear for writing, presentation materials, or additional controls. When you need extra workspace, flip the shelf up to create a stable platform for notes, a tablet, or a compact laptop rig. The flush position helps manage cables and devices neatly behind the shelf, reducing clutter and preserving a professional appearance during live events.
• Rugged construction for professional AV environments — Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in corporate, educational, and worship settings, the L5 Flip Up Shelf features precise tolerances and robust mounting points that resist flex and wobble. The combination of a durable HPL surface, sturdy core materials, and reliable hinges ensures long-term performance even with frequent setup, teardown, and repositioning of equipment around the lectern.
• Easy integration with Middle Atlantic lecterns and standard mounting patterns — The shelf is crafted to integrate smoothly with Middle Atlantic lecterns and compatible hardware rails, using standard mounting patterns to fit a wide range of configurations. This enables fast installation and tidy cable routing behind the shelf, helping you achieve a clean, professional appearance without extensive customization.

How to Install Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf

• Prepare the installation area by clearing the lectern surface and ensuring power is disconnected if you’re mounting on a live setup. Have basic hand tools ready for securing hardware if required.
• Identify the optimal mounting location that aligns with the shelf’s hinge and any pre-drilled holes or mounting plates on your lectern or stand. Check clearances to ensure the shelf can flip up and down without obstruction.
• Attach the shelf to the lectern using the supplied hardware, making sure the hinge sits square and the shelf can swing freely. Tighten fasteners evenly to maintain a flush stance when the shelf is closed.
• Test the action by flipping the shelf up and down a few times, making minor adjustments as needed so the shelf sits flush when closed and provides stable support when raised.
• Route cables and secure them behind the shelf to avoid interference with the flip-up mechanism. Verify that the shelf can accommodate your intended devices or materials without creating clutter or tension on cables.
