How to Convert a Fixed Desk to an Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Ergomotion Australia?
If youโre spending long hours at your desk, switching to a height-adjustable standing desk can improve your comfort, posture, and productivity. The good news is that you donโt have to buy an entirely new deskโyou can convert your existing fixed desk into an electric height-adjustable workstation with Ergomotion Australiaโs high-quality desk components. Hereโs how you can do it.
1. Assess Your Current Desk
Before making any changes, evaluate your existing desk to determine if it can accommodate an electric height-adjustable frame. Consider:
- The weight and structure of the tabletop
- The dimensions and shape to ensure compatibility with Ergomotionโs desk frames
- Whether you need to remove or modify existing legs, supports or equipment around the desk
2. Choose the Right Ergomotion Desk Frame
Ergomotion Australia offers a range of electric height-adjustable desk frames designed to fit different desk sizes and shapes and user needs. Look for features such as:
- Single, dual or triple motors for smooth, quiet adjustments
- Memory settings for preferred height positions
- Weight capacity to support your current tabletop
- Compatibility with your workspace dimensions
3. Remove the Old Desk Legs
To install your new height-adjustable frame, you will need to detach the old desk legs or supports. Use the appropriate tools to unscrew and remove them carefully. Ensure the tabletop remains undamaged and is placed on a protective surface during this process.
4. Install the Ergomotion Adjustable Frame
Follow the manufacturerโs instructions to assemble and install the Ergomotion electric desk frame. Key steps include:
- Positioning the frame correctly to align with your tabletop
- Securing the frame to the tabletop with screws
- Ensuring the frame is level and stable
5. Connect the Electrical Components
All of Ergomotion height-adjustable frames are motorized systems that require a power connection. Follow these steps:
- Attach the control panel to the underside of the desk
- Connect the motor cables as per the instructions
- Plug the power cord into a nearby outlet and test the height adjustment functionality
6. Organize Your Cables
To maintain a clean and clutter-free workspace:
- Use cable trays or clips to manage wires
- Secure excess cables with Velcro straps or cable ties
- Position power outlets conveniently to avoid stretching cables
7. Test and Adjust for Comfort
Once installed, adjust the desk height to find your ideal ergonomic position. Use memory settings (if available) to save your preferred standing and sitting heights. Ensure your monitor is at eye level and your keyboard is positioned for comfortable typing.
8. Enhance Your Workstation
To make the most of your new setup, consider adding ergonomic accessories such as:
- Cable trays to tidy all the cables
- A monitor arm for adjustable screen positioning
- An ergonomic chair for when you need to sit
