Middle Atlantic WR-44-32 – 44SP 32"D Rollout Rotating Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic WR-44-32 is a 44-space, 32-inch-deep rollout rotating rack mounted on heavy-duty casters that allow the entire rack to pivot out from its installed position for full 360-degree cable access. This rollout rack on casters is engineered for AV equipment rooms and data closets where rear equipment access is restricted by wall proximity or tight room layouts. Integrators specifying rotating rack systems for dense AV and IT installations rely on the WR series rollout design to eliminate the need for built-in rear access clearance.

Product Description

The WR-44-32 provides 44 rack spaces in a 32-inch depth chassis mounted on a caster base that enables the rack to roll outward and rotate, giving technicians unobstructed access to the rear of all installed equipment. This is essential in installations where the rack is positioned against a wall or in a corner where rear access would otherwise be impossible without disconnecting equipment. The rollout mechanism uses industrial-quality casters rated to support a fully loaded rack, ensuring stable operation over the life of the installation. The 32-inch mounting depth is appropriate for most AV processors, amplifiers, network switches, and AV-over-IP infrastructure. Standard EIA 19-inch rails ensure compatibility with all rackmount equipment. The 44-space capacity makes this one of the larger rollout configurations in the WR series, suitable for full-system AV installations in conference rooms, control rooms, and equipment closets. The rack frame is constructed from heavy-gauge steel, maintaining alignment and rigidity when fully loaded. All cable connections remain intact during rotation, so technicians can service rear panels without powering down systems. Available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the rollout rotating mechanism work?

The rack sits on a caster base that allows it to roll away from the wall and pivot, giving technicians full access to the rear of all installed equipment without disconnecting cables.

Does the rack need to be bolted to the floor?

The WR-44-32 is free-standing on casters. No floor anchoring is required for normal operation, though the casters include locking mechanisms to keep the rack stationary when in its installed position.

Can cables remain connected while the rack is rotated?

Yes. The rollout design is intended to allow rear-panel access with all cable connections intact, avoiding the need to power down equipment for service.

What equipment depth does the 32-inch depth accommodate?

The 32-inch mounting depth accommodates most AV processors, amplifiers, network switches, and AV-over-IP devices. Equipment longer than approximately 28 inches may require measurement verification.

Is this rack suitable for a closet installation?

Yes. The WR-44-32 is specifically designed for closet and wall-adjacent installations where rear access would otherwise be unavailable.

Where can I purchase the WR-44-32?

The WR-44-32 is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Is there a version with a different rack depth?

Yes. The WR-37-32 offers 37 spaces at the same 32-inch depth, and the WR-37-42 and WR-44-42 variants provide greater depth options.
