Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base, 30"D GRK

Engineered for professional AV and IT deployments, the Middle Atlantic 1 Bay Riser Base, 30"D GRK is a purpose-built, floor-standing accessory designed to elevate and organize GRK 30" racks with ease. This compact, single-bay riser base provides a stable platform that enhances accessibility, airflow, and overall workflow in control rooms, studios, server rooms, and equipment closets. Built to withstand demanding environments, it combines solid construction with practical design to keep gear secure, cables orderly, and maintenance efficient.

• Easy access and retrieval: The 4-inch raised height places the GRK 30" rack at a convenient working level, enabling technicians to reach connectors, ports, and cables without bending, twisting, or crawling into tight spaces. This ergonomic advantage reduces strain during installation, testing, and routine maintenance, allowing for faster swap-outs and troubleshooting. The result is a smoother workflow and less downtime when updates or repairs are needed.
• GRK 30" rack compatibility and secure mounting: This riser base is specifically designed to accommodate GRK 30" racks, ensuring precise alignment and solid attachment. The one-bay footprint provides a stable foundation that prevents unwanted movement during cable routing or equipment swaps. Whether you’re expanding an existing GRK system or creating a fresh rack layout, this base helps maintain alignment, discipline, and predictable rack geometry across the installation.
• Floor-standing convenience and adaptable placement: The freestanding design eliminates the need for wall mounting or complex enclosure configurations, offering flexible placement options in rooms where wall space is limited or where you want to reconfigure gear quickly. It’s ideal for control rooms, post-production suites, broadcast setups, and temporary or modular installations where mobility and reconfigurability matter.
• Durable steel construction with a protective finish: Built from quality steel and finished with a durable coating, the riser base withstands the rigors of busy environments. The robust construction supports heavy equipment while resisting scuffs and wear from daily use, foot traffic, and routine handling. This rugged yet streamlined base maintains a professional appearance even in high-activity spaces.
• Optimized organization and airflow: By elevating the rack and providing a defined base, the riser helps improve airflow around the gear and reduces heat buildup. The design facilitates cleaner cable routing and separation between power and signal paths, contributing to easier maintenance, safer cable management, and enhanced cooling efficiency for sensitive equipment.
