ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Business leaders are more inclined than ever to offer employees a healthier and more productive way to work, evidenced in the report from SHRM that 44 percent of employers are offering employees standing desk alternatives. In response to the business desire for healthier options for employees, Ergotron, Inc., a leading provider of sit-stand workstations, today announced an enhanced version of its popular WorkFit-T series, the WorkFit-TLE Sit-Stand Desktop Workstation—with improved ergonomic features and easy installation. The product features a large drop-down keyboard tray for a comfortable and ergonomic fit while sitting or standing, requiring no special tools for installation.
Intermittent standing and increased low-level physical activity has been shown to have positive mental and physical health benefits, which can impact every aspect of an organization. Similar to the WorkFit-T and WorFit-TL, the WorkFit-TLE moves straight up and down to reduce the user force and footprint. Ergotron's patented Constant Force™ technology supports quick height adjustment from sitting to standing with no cranks or motors.
"With millions of employees sitting in front of computers and around conference tables, our mission is to empower them to get up and get moving," said Neil Lien, senior product manager at Ergotron. "Each new WorkFit addresses the unique needs uncovered by our customers for the ultimate comfort and productivity of their employees and work environments."
Features new to the WorkFit-TLE include a rear cable management tray to keep cords organized and out of the way for seamless workflow, and a convenient integrated tablet or cell phone station built into the work surface, with removable tray cover, to keep mobile devices within reach. Additional key features include:
- Provides 15 inches (38 cm) of vertical adjustment to accommodate the largest range of users
- Fits on desk surfaces 24" (61 cm) deep or larger
- Keyboard tray is positioned 3.5" (8.9 cm) below worksurface to maintain ergonomic spacing between screen height and keyboard while seated
- Weight capacity of 10 to 40 lbs (4.5 to 18.2 kg)
- Works with an accessory monitor mount kit that attaches display(s) to a riser, providing independent screen adjustment
- Tested and guaranteed with a full 5-year warranty
As part of its commitment to provide educational resources on the importance of ergonomics and low-level physical activity in the workplace, Ergotron has developed a handbook, Make The Sit-Stand Switch™ to help organizations successfully transition to sit-stand furniture. The handbook includes tips to build mindshare among influencers, addresses concerns, and offers suggestions to help businesses design a program through effective policy, process and communication.
