Middle Atlantic ASR-42 Slide-Out Rotating Shelving System

Overview

The Middle Atlantic ASR-42 is a self-leveling, slide-out rotating shelving system designed for in-cabinet rack installations where access to rear-mounted equipment matters as much as front access. With the ASR-42 installed, shelves pull forward and rotate, eliminating the need to reach around or behind the cabinet — a genuine workflow advantage in dense AV and security equipment rooms where NVRs, managed switches, and processing hardware are packed tightly. The unit fits a 19-inch panel width and provides 33.62 inches of usable height (85.4 cm) within an 18-inch overall depth footprint, giving integrators practical access to 200 lbs (90.7 kg) of installed equipment.

TAA-compliant and manufactured in the USA, the ASR-42 meets federal procurement requirements for government and institutional deployments. Shipping weight is 96 lbs — plan for a two-person lift during installation.

Compatibility

The ASR-42 is built for Middle Atlantic in-cabinet rack enclosures accepting a standard 19-inch EIA panel width. It integrates with Middle Atlantic's rack enclosure families — including BGR, PD, and similar cabinet lines — where usable interior depth accommodates the 18-inch system depth and 16.13 inches of usable shelf depth. Verify your cabinet's interior usable depth against the 18-inch system depth before ordering; shallower cabinets will not clear the slide-out mechanism. This system is suited for rack accessories and AV/security equipment rooms where rear cable access or equipment servicing is frequent. Compatible equipment weight must not exceed the 200 lb aggregate capacity across all installed shelves.

Installation Notes

The ASR-42 mounts in-cabinet — it is not a freestanding or wall-mount solution. Usable height of 33.62 inches accommodates standard 1U through multi-U shelf configurations within the rotating carriage. Because the shelving system slides out and rotates, ensure adequate clearance in front of and beside the cabinet before installation: the rotated position requires open floor space equal to at least the cabinet depth. Review rack planning guidelines for clearance requirements before commissioning in tight equipment rooms. Shipping weight of 96 lbs reflects the complete system; stage appropriate lifting support before moving into position.
