Usage Tips

The Electric Kangaroo Pro is an electric motorized version of the standard Kangaroo Pro. Like the standard Kangaroo Pro, the Electric Pro is a desktop add-on unit which converts any ordinary desk into a sit-stand desk. It is free-standing (no clamping required) and easily moved to any position on your desk. The main keyboard platform adjusts up or down by an electric motor (activated by a button switch), and is 28" wide and 24" deep. With height-adjustability up to 20.5" above the desk, the Electric Kangaroo Pro will accommodate individuals who are up to 6' 8" tall. The monitor is attached to the Kangaroo using the standard VESA plate (75 mm x 75 mm or 100 mm x 100 mm patterns). This versatile monitor mount allows for panning, tilting, or rotating the monitor from landscape to portrait position. In addition, the monitor can be height-adjusted 6.5" independently of the keyboard platform using the gas cylinder mechanism.

Note: All units come with one stabilization leg. For extra tall individuals over 6' 1", request the extra tall leg. Colour options (Black, Cherry, Maple) and additional accessories are also available.

Ergonomic Benefits

Sitting and Standing while Working Sitting (and even standing) for prolonged periods of time has been shown to be a risk factor for health by numerous studies. For those who work at stationary workstations, a desk where one can both sit AND stand at different times throughout the day will help break up those prolonged periods of unhealthy stationary work. Desk add-on units like the Kangaroo are designed to do just that, by offering effortless adjustment of the workstation height to accommodate both sitting and standing positions whenever desired.

Proper Monitor Height Adjustment One of the key risk factors for injury in an office setting is an improperly positioned monitor. A good sit-stand desk will help eliminate that problem by having independent height adjustment for the monitor relative to the worksurface where the keyboard and mouse are situated. The Electric Kangaroo Elite has 6.5" of independent adjustment to play with, making it easier to adjust the monitor height to its optimal position whether standing or sitting.

Large Worksurface Unlike many other retrofit sit-stand solutions, the Kangaroo provides a generous 20” x 28” worksurface which provides plenty of real estate for the keyboard, mouse and any other devices required while working (phone, tablet, etc.).

Features

Sits on your Desk (No Clamping or Drilling): Ideal for desks where clamping or drilling into the desk are not options. The Electric Kangaroo Pro has a heavy solid steel base that facilitates easing positioning anywhere on the desktop securely without creating a tipping risk. Pads on the underside of the base also prevent any scuffing or scratching of the desktop.
Motorized Worksurface Height Adjustment: Individuals who find adjusting even a gas cylinder (or spring) mechanism cumbersome or difficult due to injury or weakness will find the electric motor mechanism the easiest of all to use for height adjustment; just press up or down on the button switch. The maximum height achievable with the Electric Kangaroo is an impressive 20.5" above the desktop.
Gas Cylinder Monitor Height Adjustment: Most workers will have to adjust the monitor height relative to the keyboard platform only once to get it into the optimal position. The gas mechanism used to do this with the Electric Kangaroo Pro is therefore entirely appropriate. There is 6.5" of such independent height adjustment available.
Single Monitor Mounting: The Electric Kangaroo Pro allows one monitor to be mounted via the VESA plate tilter. The monitor must be VESA compatible with a hole pattern of 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 millimeters, and also less that 25" wide (not diagonally).
Stabilization Leg: Each Kangaroo unit comes with one stabilization leg, which greatly increases the stability of the main worksurface platform. Because of the increased height adjustment on the Electric Kangaroo, for those over 6' 1" an extra tall stabilization leg is also available upon request.
Work Extension Accessories: If the 28" by 24" deep main worksurface platform is not large enough to accommodate all your desktop products, optional worksurface accessories can be purchased which extend the worksurface on the sides and front.
Multiple Colour Finishes: All Kangaroo units are available in four colours: Black, Putty (Special order only), Cherry, and Maple. Additional accessories purchased can be also matched with the same finish.
