Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Highline

Expand your workspace with the Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf in HPL Highline. This durable, no-pinch shelf adds convenient surface space for laptops, tablets, notes, or essential control gear, then folds away to sit flush with the lectern when not in use. Built to integrate seamlessly with Highline systems, the L5 delivers a clean, professional look while enhancing ergonomics and workflow in classrooms, broadcast rooms, control centers, and performance spaces. Its high‑quality HPL finish resists wear in high-traffic environments, making it a practical and stylish upgrade for professionals who demand reliability and a clutter-free work surface.

• Enhanced workspace: Create a stable, accessible surface for laptops, tablets, notebooks, remotes, or compact AV components without crowding the main lectern area; the shelf is designed to support typical day-to-day devices used in teaching, presentation, and control environments.
• No-pinch, smooth flip mechanism: The L5 employs a smart hinge system that prevents finger pinching and provides a controlled, smooth action every time you raise or lower the shelf, reducing the risk of injury and improving ease of use for operators and presenters.
• Flush, low-profile design: When closed, the shelf sits flush with the lectern edge, preserving sightlines, maintaining a professional appearance, and ensuring that peripherals don’t protrude into the room or obstruct the operator’s line of sight.
• Durable HPL surface: The High Pressure Laminate finish stands up to daily wear, resisting scratches, stains, and heat while offering simple cleaning, long-lasting color, and a consistent, professional look across multiple installations.
• Easy integration with Highline systems: Specifically engineered to pair with Middle Atlantic Highline lecterns and furniture, the L5 shelf installs quickly within existing rails and panels, providing modular expansion without complicated modifications.
