Middle Atlantic WRK Series 24RU Roll Out Rack - 32in Depth

Experience a new standard in equipment accessibility with the Middle Atlantic WRK Series 24RU Roll Out Rack in a robust 32-inch depth. Designed for environments where equipment bays must sit flush against walls or be arranged back-to-back, this award-winning system brings effortless serviceability to complex rack deployments. By letting entire bays roll out and rotate, technicians can perform installation, maintenance, and upgrades without disconnecting or removing gear. The WRK Series optimizes space, improves cable management, and reduces service time—delivering a smarter, safer, and more flexible rack solution for commercial AV, data, and pro-audio installations. With precision engineering and durable construction, the WRK Series stands up to demanding professional use while maintaining clean aesthetics in high-traffic rooms.

• Unrestricted access with a twist: Unlike traditional fixed racks, the WRK Series rolls out in full and rotates for convenient, unobstructed access to every device, cabling, and rear connections. This eliminates the need for tracks and stands, dramatically simplifying service workflows and reducing downtime during upgrades or maintenance. The result is faster turnarounds and fewer repositioning hassles in crowded rooms or wall-adjacent bays.
• Space-efficient, wall-friendly design: With 24U of rack capacity and a generous 32-inch depth, the WRK Series is engineered to fit tight spaces without sacrificing expansion potential. Its footprint is optimized for back-to-back and wall-mounted configurations, enabling you to maximize available real estate while still accommodating a broad range of equipment—servers, AV matrices, PDU strips, and patch panels—without crowding. This balance of depth and height makes it ideal for dense control rooms, data closets, and studio environments.
• Rugged construction and safe operation: The WRK Roll Out Rack is built from heavy-duty steel and features a dependable rolling mechanism designed for repeated use in busy installations. A secure locking system ensures bays stay in place when stationary, while the roll-out function preserves cable integrity and minimizes strain on connectors. The chassis is engineered to resist vibration, secure gear during movement, and provide long-term reliability in commercial settings.
• Integrated cable management and versatile mounting: Efficient cable pathways and integrated management features help keep front and rear cabling organized as bays roll out or rotate. The design supports standard 19-inch equipment and accepts various rack-mount accessories, rails, and trays. Its versatility is ideal for complex installations where cable routing, heat dissipation, and accessibility must coexist without compromising aesthetics or performance.
• Award-winning performance you can trust: As part of Middle Atlantic’s WR line, the WRK Series embodies proven engineering, professional-grade reliability, and industry recognition. It’s a trusted choice for integrators who demand durability, serviceability, and smooth implementation in challenging spaces. The combination of practical features and robust construction makes the WRK Series a long-term solution for evolving rack needs.

How to install Middle Atlantic WRK Series 24RU Roll Out Rack - 32in Depth

Installing the WRK Series is a straightforward process that prioritizes safety, cable organization, and future-proofing. Before you begin, plan the bay placement to ensure there is adequate clearance for rolling out and rotating the rack, as well as space for technicians to move around equipment. Use standard safety procedures for rack installation and follow all local electrical and building codes. Once your space is prepared, the installation follows these general steps:

• Prepare the location: Clear the area, confirm floor levelness, and verify wall or corner mounting surfaces if you plan a wall-adjacent or back-to-back configuration. Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the rack to prevent overheating and that power and data pathways are accessible where you intend to route them.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove the WRK rack from its packaging and inspect all components for damage or missing hardware. Check the rolling mechanism, locking system, rails, and any included accessories to confirm you have everything required for installation.
• Mount rails and install base: If the rack uses a base or mounting kit, attach rails according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Level the rack and secure it to the floor or wall as appropriate for your installation scenario, ensuring stability when loaded with equipment.
• Install equipment: Start with heavier devices and place them in the lower portion of the rack to maintain a balanced center of gravity. Attach front and rear mounting hardware as needed, and route cables through integrated management channels to minimize tangling and strain during roll-out.
• Test roll-out and cabling: Gently operate the roll-out mechanism to confirm smooth movement without binding. Validate that the bays rotate freely and lock securely in place. Inspect cabling for adequate slack and proper clearance from moving parts, then power up the equipment to verify connectivity and operation.
• Finalize and label: Neatly label cables, organize patch panels, and conduct a final safety check. Document the configuration for future service and ensure all access points remain unobstructed during normal operation.
