06/21/2012
Product Name: Ergo Desktop Kangaroo Desk
Description: The Kangaroo adjustable-height desk workstation supports both a monitor and keyboard so that you can sit or stand while working.
Ergonomic Benefits and Features:
- Height-adjustable desk surface, providing vertical adjustability up to 15" above your current desk surface, accommodating over 95% of the North American healthy, working-age adult population in the standing position
- Large working surface - 28" wide by 24" deep to support the keyboard, mouse, and other materials
- Easily switch between sitting and standing positions
- Potential to be mounted to carts for use in mobile applications
- Not permanently attached to desk top so it can be easily moved from workstation to workstation
- Easy to assemble and setup
Potential Limitations
- Monitor too high in seated position, 48" above the standing surface when completely lowered (recommended height when completely lowered is 42”, the 5th percentile female seated eye height)
- Monitor adjusts vertically 6.5" independently of the work surface (recommend 13" of adjustability to accommodate 95% of working population)
- The desk surface does not tilt to allow neutral hand and wrist postures at all heights
- No features that allow for easy cord management
- The monitor support does not adjust in the horizontal direction, which many not accommodate various sight lines and/or special adaptations for users with bifocal corrective lenses
Applications:
- Flexible computer workstation
- Office
- Laptop
- Desktop
- Mobile workstations
