5 Most Common Questions About An Electric Desk Lift

Have you ever dreamed of being able to sit or stand anytime when sitting at your desk during a workday? Are you tired of sitting at your desk for extended periods?

An Electric Desk Lift is one of the best ways to ensure maximum comfort and optimized productivity. When searching for your results and selecting an Electric Desk Liftk, it is common to feel overwhelmed by the multiple possibilities.

 

Here are the five most common questions when you’re switching to a sit-stand solution.

 

Q1. How does a Electric Desk Lift work?

A Electric Desk Lift is powered by electric lifting columns that convert your desk into a standing desk. These columns replace the traditional stationary legs of your desk, and the control system will enable the user to adjust the desk's height. 
Desk movement can either be controlled by the press of a button or, more innovatively, through a Bluetooth app with user-defined memory presets. 

 

 

Q2. What components does an Electric Desk Lift need?

The structure of an Electric Desk Lift includes two primary components: electric lifting column framing and a fully functional control system. 
The desk frame can be raised or lowered through a compatible control system connected to a control box. 
TiMOTION is proud to offer a wide range of frame kit solutions to satisfy the unique needs of different ergo applications. Our height-adjustable frame kits are available in multiple colors, sizes, and configurations. We offer a vast of products as below:

Q3. How much energy does an Electric Desk Lift use?

Contrary to popular belief, an Electric Desk Lift won't drain your electricity. Most Electric Desk lifts will only use approximately 150 watts when in active use and a mere 0.2 watts on standby mode. 
To save energy and reduce carbon emissions further, all TiMOTION Electric Desk Lifts provide an efficient standby power consumption of fewer than 0.1 watts. 

 

Q4. What are the benefits of a Electric Desk Lift?

Electric Desk Lift has various benefits, including ease of use, quick position change, better physical and mental well-being, and increased work productivity. 

 

Ease of Use

Unlike manually adjusting your desk to the ideal height, an electric alternative is more convenient and efficient. You can go from sitting to standing with a simple touch of a button. Some Electric Desk lifts come with options for advanced controls that allow you to set your preferred heights, enabling users to enjoy the flexibility of a shared space. 

 

Quick Position Changes

Electric Desk Lifts move quickly and require little effort to transition from seated to standing in a matter of seconds. They are the perfect solution for users who have to change the desk's height several times a day. 

 

Promoting Health and Productivity

Alternating between sitting and standing positions can help improve blood circulation and reduce shoulder, neck, and upper back discomfort.
Standing up can keep you focused, improve your mood, and avoid distraction, resulting in increased productivity.
Research has found that people using adjustable desks at work are more engaged, demonstrate better performance, and indicate lower stress and fatigue, resulting in higher overall job satisfaction than those sitting all day.

Halloween’s just around the corner, so it’s that time of year when movies and haunted houses are trying their best to scare you. Well, here at Human Solution we’re all about calming your fears this season. Many of you are coming to us looking for a height adjustable desk, yet are leery of going with electric, for all sorts of reasons.

There are some misconceptions about electric sit-stand desks floating around out there that may be keeping you from considering one, even though electric desks are our favorite around here and work for pretty much anyone with access to an electrical outlet by their desk. The main misconception is that electric standing desks are too expensive, a theory which I thoroughly debunked a while back while pointing out the advantages of an electric desk over a manual desk. However, some other fears specifically remain about electric height adjustable desks:

They use too much electricity! Not at all, my energy-conscious friend. Our most popular electric standing desk, the UPLIFT Desk, uses 200 watts, and that’s only when using its height adjustment capabilities to raise and lower the desk. On standby, it only uses 0.2 watts.

I don’t know, should I unplug it after adjusting it to save energy? I don’t think you understand just how little energy it uses. To compare, a computer uses on average 60 to 250 watts, and most people leave that on all day. You don’t shut down your computer every time you walk away from it. You can leave your desk plugged in all the time and still use much less energy than other electrical devices you don’t think twice about leaving plugged in. That way, you’ll always have quick electric height adjustment whenever you need it (which is often, if you’re using it right!)

What if there is a power outage?? Will my desk collapse?? The answer to this is a resounding no. The motor is only running when the desk is traveling, so if the power goes out, all you lose is the ability to move the desk up and down. This may be a minor annoyance in the rare event of a power outage, but this is well outweighed by the advantages of an electric height adjustable desk.

I heard they move too slowly! Won’t a pneumatic desk move immediately? While it does seem like you can move a manual desk instantly, our UPLIFT Desk moves at 1.5" a second, so moving from a sitting to standing position really takes less than 10 seconds for most people.

And with a pneumatic desk, you may spend more time making adjustments in the long run, because it is much easier to make small adjustments with an electric desk. It may take the smallest adjustment to get your desk in the right spot for you, which can be achieved with a quick touch of the button on an electric height adjustable desk because of its infinite stop positions. A manual desk requires you to move it up and down using your own force, which may make it difficult to find exactly the right spot, especially when an accessory like a keyboard tray is involved.

Are you sure it isn’t more expensive to get an electric desk than one without a motor? Yes, our most affordable sit-stand desks are our electric desks. With the counterbalance technology required for a manual desk, they are usually actually more expensive than our electric desks. If you have access to an electrical outlet and are thinking about a sit-stand desk, there should be nothing stopping you. The only thing you have to fear is sitting all day.
