Workrite's Sierra HX Electric Series Boosts Worker Health & Productivity

Workrite Sierra HX Electric Workcenter

Workrite Ergonomics believes that worker comfort and productivity is directly related to the ergonomic design of the workplace furniture and equipment. Their Sierra HX Electric Adjustable Height Workcenters were created to address such needs and enhance employee health.

We recently added thousands of Workrite Ergonomics products to QSource.com including 588 Sierra HX Electric items. Let's take a look at the features and benefits of these innovative workstations.

PROPER POSITIONING PROMOTES PRODUCTIVITY

Workrite's Sierra HX Electric Workcenters allow the user to adjust the height of the workstation to suit their physical requirements. Improper worker positioning (such as slouching, slumping, or bending forward at the waist) may lead to fatigue, discomfort, backache, or other injuries…which all impact worker health and productivity.

The Sierra HX Electric Workcenters feature motorized adjustable height via quiet motors, which provide more than 100 pounds of lifting force per leg, allowing for precise positioning (with three memory pre-sets). These tables also eliminate the standard crossbar to provide maximum leg clearance for user comfort, while maintaining unrivaled stability through an under-the-worksurface mount structure.

SUBSTANCE & STYLE

Workcenters in the ANSI-BIFMA X5.5-1998-approved Sierra HX Electric Series use their 225-lb. lifting capacity to provide a 22"-48" at 1.6" per second height adjustment. These stations are available in 24" or 30" depth, 36", 42", 48", 54", 60", 66", and 72" widths.

The Sierra HX Electric Series also boast the following green/environmental factors:

• LEED Credit Eligibility (other LEED data includes LEED Base Only: 26-29%, LEED with laminate: 31-37%, and LEED with Silhouette: 13-18%)
• Material & Resources Credit 4.1–4.2 (1–2 points)
• Innovation in Design Credit 1.1–1.4 (1–4 points)
• 0.1 W standby power use
• GREENGUARD® Silhouette top material
• VOC-free powdercoat

A wide selection of accessories are available for the
Sierra HX Electric line

In addition to their ergonomic benefits, Workrite's Sierra HX Electric models offer a number of style and aesthetic options including:

• Frame finish: Charcoal or silver color
• Edge treatment: Standard, wedge, or ripple
• Edge color: Almond, Black, Folkstone, HW Brown, Opti Gray, or Soft White
• Table color: A wide variety of unique choices including Appears Likatre, Cavalcade South, Gateway to the Future, Ice Fishin, and Tropical Getaway

These tables can also be fitted with a number of tool bar and rail system accessories to create a custom workstation to meet your needs. Available accessories include modesty screens, CPU holders, keyboard holders, footrests, and more.
