As a nation, we have become more inactive and more chained to our desks during work hours. With advancements in IT and communications, there is little need for anyone to even get up and walk across the room during their day at work. Obesity and lethargy are on the rise as we all stare into our phones during our lunch hour and sigh if we have to climb a flight of stairs.
Aside from the obvious unhealthy lack of movement with little chance of getting the blood pumping around the body between 9 and 5, there are other factors that should be considered by employers, when considering the use of the height adjustable desks.
As someone who has made the decision to go ahead and purchase a height adjustable desk, you may be under the misconception that a manual version will be less expensive. This is not true in all cases and certainly, some are less than certain pneumatic desks or crank operated desks. Here are some further points to consider as advantageous in choosing electric:
This will depend on which brand or model you choose. But as a guide most electric desks these days have a lift capacity of somewhere between 220 and 330 lbs. With most laptops and screens being fairly lightweight these days its unlikely there will be an issue with the most usual desk setups.
We supply height adjustable desks with folding cable trays that connect to the harness system cable riser, dropping wires neatly down into the lower cable channel keeping them neatly out of the way.
Bench Desking or rows of desk units used in large departments are the perfect situations for using electric height adjustable desks. With collision control as a safety feature to stop trapped hands and fast height adjustment, your employees will be thrilled with this setup.
The desks take a short time to assemble, then the configuration and positioning can be easy enough but depends on your office plan. With electric desks, there obviously needs to be an available power source. Here at Randalls we will plan your office space, supply all of your decking (and any other furniture) and then assemble and install it all for you.
If you are worried that getting height adjustable desks with motors will increase your electricity bill, then don’t! The average motorised desk uses 200 watts, and that’s only when the motor is in use to raise and lower the desk. On standby, it only uses 0.2 watts.
We have a huge range of finishes in all colours including wood effect finishes. Whatever your style or taste we can match it with coordinating desking.
