TaskMate Go

The Taskmate Go from HealthPostures can retrofit any standard desk to become a sit-stand workstation. The unit uses a robust, well-designed clamping mechanism that can accommodate desks up to 2.0" thick. A single release lever unlocks the counterbalanced spring-assisted mechanism to permit simultaneous adjustement of both the monitor and keyboard. There are 10 available height options all of which are locked upon the release of the adjustment lever (unlike some units which do not have a locking option and can then "drift" downwards when weight is placed on the keyboard tray). The VESA compatible monitor mount can be attached at 6 different height settings, with the distance between the keyboard tray and the middle of the monitor adjustable from a minimum of 6.5" to a maximum of 20".

The Taskmate Go supports up to 35 lbs of weight, and provides a full 17.5" range of vertical movement, meaning the keyboard tray can be positioned from 4" below to 13.5" above the desk surface. The upper platform worksurface is 19.0" x 9.0". There are two keyboard tray options. The Large Tray is a one-piece tray which is 30" x 12". For those wanting a smaller tray with a separate mousing area, the Swing-Out Tray has a 19" x 7.5" area for the keyboard with a separate swing-out mousing area which positions closer to the body and can be reversed for right or left-handed use. An optional (but not recommended) wrist rest is included with the Swing-Out Tray. Either keyboard tray model can be adjusted to a negative tilt of 5 or 10 degrees. The unit ships largely preassembled (apart from the tray) which minimizes setup time.

• Securely Clamps to Desk: Never worry about tipping or falling hazards with the clamping mechanism on the TaskMate Go, which secures the Go to the front of the desk.
• Wide Height Adjustment Range: With 18" of height adjustment the TaskMate Go has more than enough range for sitting or standing for the vast majority of users. At the lowest range the keyboard tray goes 4" below the desk height allowing the keyboard tray to be lowered to a suitable height for even shorter individuals on standard office chairs. This inability to lower the keyboard tray below the worksurface is a known concern with freestanding sit-stand retrofit desks.
• Solid Keyboard Tray: The phenolic keyboard tray is not only thin but more rigid than other plastic trays, so there is no fear of the tray warping or bending over time.
• Single or Dual Monitor Options: The TaskMate Go comes in models for both single and dual monitors.
• Solid Construction Materials: The TaskMate Go is solidly built of heavy duty steel with a sturdy design for years of regular usage. The phenolic tray is also highly durable without adding bulk.
• Nearly Fully Assembled: The TaskMate Go also comes fully assembled and can be used right out of the box. Only the clamping mechanism needs to be attached to the desk, and the tray attached to the unit (if the Large Keyboard Tray model is selected).
• Worksurface Included: The built-in upper worksurface of the TaskMate Go allows additional work items to be placed between the monitor and the keyboard and mouse, such as documents, calculators, writing instruments, etc. This increases the overall work space for maximum efficiency and optimal ergonomics.

• To adjust the keyboard platform upward or downward with ease, press the release lever at the front of the unit just below the upper platform and move in the direction you wish. When you find the appropriate height for sitting or standing, release the lever and move platform until it locks into the nearest interval.
• 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.
