Technology has made our lives so much simpler. We rely on many devices to simplify our daily tasks. We will be discussing electric height adjustable desks that can be used in commercial and home settings. Here are 9 things to remember before placing an order. Let's get into the details.
Type of motor
First, determine your needs. There are many types of electric motors for electric desks. Some desks have only one motor, while others have multiple motors. One motor control the two legs of the desk while the other uses multiple motors. Dual motor desks, on the other hand allow you to drive each leg. These are more reliable and stronger.
They are better because they allow smooth transitions. Single motor desks are therefore more affordable. Dual motor products are the best option as they offer greater safety, stability, and load capacity.
Protection against overloading and heat
Look for a desk with overload and overheat protection. If the overload protection system detects that the load is greater than the limit, the motor will be stopped. If the overload protection system is not installed, motors can heat up and eventually fail to function properly if the top of the table is pushed up.
The heat protection system also stops motors from heating up due to prolonged stop usage. These two features will prolong the life of height adjustable desks.
Stability and Anti-Collision
When we move desks around in a room, they can collide with other objects. Higher quality, electric height-adjustable desks have an anti-collision system which retracts the desk if it collides with anything.
The sensors will detect objects that may cause the desk to collide and the sensor will make the desk move down, instead of up. This protects your belongings. These desks are essential for safety in your workplace.
Consumption of power
Employees need to adjust the height of their office desks repeatedly in an office environment. These desks have a standby mode, which adjusts the height of the desks as soon as you press the button.
The standby mode can cause concern for business users as it increases the power consumption. A good electric desk reduces power consumption by 0.1W. This is a significant energy savings. Make sure that the height adjustable desks that you purchase are energy-efficient.
Certificate
It is important to get certified electric desks because electric appliances and products can be dangerous. The certification notice is printed on the desks depending on where they were purchased. If you're in Europe, the certification notice could be CE.
These desks must have passed the LVD/EMC tests to ensure authenticity. Other certifications such as AFRDI or BIFMA can be checked. These certifications ensure that the product is environmentally friendly.
Life expectancy
The electric office desks are not disposable products. They are durable. They should withstand the test of time. Desks should last at least 10,000 cycles (up or down) when you buy them. These desks are durable enough to last for up to 5-10 years. This will help you save a lot of money. It is important to take into account your life expectancy.
Warranty
A warranty should be included with furniture for your home office. The warranty on height-adjustable desks should be at least five years. Some parts of the desk like motors or controllers can become damaged over time. Without a warranty, replacing these parts can become very expensive. A warranty is a great thing.
Noise
Users don't like noisy office desks. Make sure that the product you choose generates no more than 50 DB. You don't want employees to be disturbed while they adjust their desks.
Preset controls
With a simple push of a button, the Preset controller lets you adjust your desk automatically. This is great for employees who use the same desk. They don't have to spend too much time to adjust the desk to suit their needs or height. If the desk will be used by only one person, this feature is irrelevant.
