| Product Summary |
---|
The Kangaroo Pro Junior is an adjustable height desk which converts any ordinary desk into a sit-stand desk. It is free-standing (no clamping required) and easily moved to any position on the desk. The main keyboard platform adjusts up or down with the assistance of a gas cylinder (or lift), making quick adjustments throughout the day easy and effortless. This platform is generous compared to most keyboard trays at 24" wide and 18" deep and can be adjusted up to 16.5" above the desk. With the "stopping bolt" feature, the platform can be elevated to a preset desired height every time. All Kangaroo models also include a stabilization leg to practically eliminate worksurface vibration.
A single monitor is attached to a monitor mount (or bracket) using the standard VESA plates requiring 75 or 100 mm hole patterns. The monitor mount allows for panning, tilting, or rotating the monitor from landscape to portrait positions. In addition, the monitor can also be height-adjusted independent of the keyboard platform using a separate gas cylinder mechanism with a vertical range of 6.5").
The Kangaroo Pro Junior is a smaller version of the Kangaroo Pro and is recommended for monitors up to 12 lbs (without stand attached). For heavier monitors, customized units can be special ordered upon request.
Available in black colour only. Additional accessories to extend the worksurface are also available. | Ergonomic Benefits |

Reduces the Risks Associated with Extended Sitting Studies have shown that sitting (and even standing) for prolonged periods of time is a risk factor for health. For those who work at stationary workstations, a desk that offers the options of both sitting and standing throughout the day will help break up those prolonged periods of unhealthy stationary work. The Kangaroo Pro Junior facilitates easy adjustment of the workstation height to accommodate both sitting and standing positions whenever desired.
Reduces the Risk of Neck Injury One of several 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 allowing independent height adjustment for the monitor relative to the worksurface on which the keyboard and mouse are situated. The Kangaroo Pro Junior has 6.5" of independent adjustment to play with, making it easier to adjust the monitor height to a position that is optimal, whether sitting or standing.

Reduces the Risks Associated with Overreaching Unlike many other retrofit sit-stand desks, the Kangaroo Pro Junior provides a generous 24" x 16" working area with plenty of real estate for the keyboard, mouse and other office devices such as calculators, phones, and tablets.

- Free Standing (Drill and Clamp-Free): The Kangaroo Pro Junior is ideal for organizations that prohibit drilling into the desk, or clamping onto its edge. A heavy solid steel base allows the unit to be positioned on a desk top without creating a tipping hazard. Felt pads underneath the base prevent scuffing or scratching of the desktop.
- Independent Monitor Height Adjustment: 6.5" of independent height adjustment is available via a gas lift mechanism and monitor brake. These two features permit the keyboard platform to be raised and lowered effortlessly, and secured firmly in place at the desired height. Most people will need to adjust the monitor height relative to the keyboard platform only once.
- Easily Moved Base: Non-marking felt pads on the base of the Kangaroo Pro Junior let it be easily slid out of the way to access the desk top or to reposition the unit to a better location.
- Single Monitor Mounting: The Kangaroo Pro Junior allows one monitor to be mounted on a single mount. The monitor must be VESA compatible with a hole pattern of 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 millimeters, and also less than 25" wide (not diagonally) and not exceeding 12 lbs (not including any monitor stand).
- Stopping Bolt: The stopping bolt permits pre-assigning the preferred height for standing, so that the platform will stop at the correct height automatically whenever the adjustment lock is released.
- Stabilization Leg: Each Kangaroo unit comes with one stabilization leg, which greatly increases the stability of the main worksurface platform and vastly reduces vibration.
- Work Extension Accessories: Optional accessories can be purchased to extend the worksurface on the sides and front.
- Single Colour Finish: The Kangaroo Pro Junior is available in Black colour only. Optional accessories can be purchased in the same finish.

| Usage Tips |
---|
- To adjust the keyboard platform downward with ease, apply an steady initial force at the back of the platform using both hands. If you have back problems that would make this type of movement difficult, go around to the back of your desk and do the same, so that you do not have to lean forward as much. If this, too, is a problem, ask someone else for assistance.
- Center the stabilization leg under the keyboard platform with the foot of the leg sitting on the metal base. This will allow you to reposition the Kangaroo on your desk without disturbing the stabilization leg.
- Move between standing and sitting on a regular basis. If you are just starting out with a sit-stand desk, maintain yourself in the standing position for brief intervals - don't try to stand for extended periods until your body has adjusted and become comfortable.
- If you find standing tiring, consider purchasing a quality anti-fatigue mat which can significantly increase your comfort by enabling your feet and legs to shift slightly while you work.
- Consider a 'leaning' style of seat rather than going back to the standard office chair. Using a seat such as this can ease the load on the feet and legs while still providing most of the benefits of the fully upright standing posture.
